Wish: Raising Exceptions in PassTru functions

rbuser

When I raise an exception in a passthru function, the enduser simply gets
the message that xxxx.Onprint didi not execute. But the message of the
exception is not displayed.

Wouldn?t it be possible to add the original info to this dialog?

RAP handles the exception and gracefully continues execution, showing the
generic cannot execute the event handler message. Since RAP handles the
exception, you could show a description message to the user why something
did not work in the pass through function. Perhaps that could be a RAP
optionon the designer, something like roDescriptivePTFErrors? Thanks for the
suggestion.

The exception might occur at places where I do not know (or do not need to
know) wheter called from within RAP or outside of RAP. So showing a message
is no option here. Just append the original execption text to the generic.

Or is this too a replacable form?

Thankas you,

It isn't a replaceable form, it is a message box call. You can always
perform a try except around your pass through function code to trap the
exception and try to handle it yourself instead of letting the exception
flow up to RAP's exception handling.
