I wonder if this is possible. I have done a quick search in the documentation and didn't found anything about this. So is it possible to make your own errors? For example if something goes wrong and returns -1 it makes Error with code 1 pop up.

Sorry for my english.

Programming merges these two-Nothing works,and you don't know why.

Have a look at EXIT PROMPT .



It makes a little message box when the program ends .

Otherwise have a look at Goga's Free DBP Plugin. It's got all kinds of message boxes that can run even while the program is running.

You can use int MessageBox(
HWND hWnd,
LPCTSTR lpText,
LPCTSTR lpCaption,
UINT uType
); to show a little message box. Example:

One of the good things about the GDK is that, usually, advice that works for DBPro also works for the GDK.

Exit Prompt is a case in point.

This DBPro code:


becomes this C++ code:


Don't be so quick to dismiss what people say simply because it's centred about DBPro.
