Method Error():setErrorMode() Foundation
Determine actions for error modes.
Syntax
Error():setErrorMode(<nMode>, [<nAction>]) --> <nCurrentAction>
Parameters
<nAction>
<nAction> is an optional numeric value which determines the new action for <nMode>. Available actions are ERR_ACTION_FATAL, ERR_ACTION_IGNORE and ERR_ACTION_POPUP.
Return
The class method :setErrorMode() returns the current action per mode.
Description
The Xbase++ runtime system runs several threads internally, like the Garbage Collector Thread. If an error occurs on one of these threads, it occurs asynchronously to the application threads. The default action is ERR_ACTION_IGNORE. In this case, the error will be recorded and it is tried to tolerate the error. The recorded error can be retrieved by calling :ignoredErrors().
If ERR_ACTION_POPUP is set, the Xbase++ runtime pops up a dialog to inform the user about the error. This is the preferred mode if the application is under development. ERR_ACTION_FATAL is the preferred action if an application is running unattended. This immediatley terminates the application leaving an error log called XPPFATAL.LOG in the current directory. A supervising script can restart the application if an XPPFATAL.LOG occured. In any event, the application should be terminated as soon as possible to prevent from possible data loss.
