    • DND

      public DND()

  • Method Details

    • error

      public static void error(int code)
      Throws an appropriate exception based on the passed in error code.
      Parameters:
      code - the DND error code

    • error

      public static void error(int code, int hresult)
      Throws an appropriate exception based on the passed in error code. The hresult argument should be either 0, or the platform specific error code.

      In DND, errors are reported by throwing one of three exceptions:

      java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
      thrown whenever one of the API methods is invoked with an illegal argument
      org.eclipse.swt.SWTException (extends java.lang.RuntimeException)
      thrown whenever a recoverable error happens internally in SWT
      org.eclipse.swt.SWTError (extends java.lang.Error)
      thrown whenever a non-recoverable error happens internally in SWT
      This method provides the logic which maps between error codes and one of the above exceptions.

      Parameters:
      code - the DND error code.
      hresult - the platform specific error code.
