How to suppress system error message?

[Kurosan]

If my program encounters a system error, how to prevent the system error message from being displayed?

Use SetErrorMode(...) look it up on msdn.microsoft.com for the flags you may or may not want to set.

you can use SEH __try{
}__except(EXCEPTION_CONTINUE_EXECUTION ){} for c code
or you can use c++ exception handling try{
}catch(...){} for c++ code



for egsample if u try the following code, you'll get a gpf

long* p = 0;
*p =10;



but if u try this
__try{
long* p = 0;
*p =10;
}__except(EXCEPTION_CONTINUE_EXECUTION ){
}


or this
try{
long* p = 0;
*p =10;
}catch(...){
}

the hard exception will be trapped and control will go to the __except or catch(...) block

hope this helps

Better to use C++ exception handling and install a set_se_translator(...)
