Watch Window Formatting
-
A friend of mine introduced me to this "trick" with the watch window. When watching an HRESULT, you can format the result to something that makes a little more sense. Here's an example... If I have a variable
HRESULT hr;and if I put hr,hr in the watch window it formats the value ofhrinto text. So if thehr = 0the watch window would read "S_OK". Does anyone know of other cool watch window tricks like this? TIA Mark Donkers A witty saying proves nothing. -- Voltaire -

And except that, you can use for example ERR, to show last error, instead of calling GetLastError(). Martin
