The generic function
report-active-component-failure
is used to report on failures to find or create a component.
component-name is the name of the component it tried to find.
error-string is the error string.
function-name is the name of the function that actually failed.
hresult
is the hresult that came back. It may be
nil
if the error is that the guid of the named component could not be found.
When the system fails to open the component, it calls
report-active-component-failure
, with the first argument the ole-control-pane
pane
. The default method for ole-control-pane tries to call
report-active-component-failure
again on its top level interface. The default method on interface calls
error
.
You can add your own methods, specializing on subclasses of ole-control-pane or subclasses of interface.
Note: this function is implemented only in LispWorks for Windows. Load the functionality by
