Error handling - a best way

Hi all,

Still I'm learning C++ and I'll try my best used most better ways in my works.

When I'm coding, I mean use of try, catch or if, else etc..., always used a single line of code. Here it is...

Code:

---

cout << "Error. GetLastError reports " << GetLastError() << endl;

---

In simple word find the error code and correct way. If I'm working on MFC, cout replaced by a message box.

My question is what is the best way to display errors for users. Displaying error codes is not prefer for users. Is that a separate section in C++, handling errors/exceptions.

You can grab the error message from Windows using the FormatMessage function in conjunction with the GetLastError function..

Thanks, seems it is fine. I can reuse it once write the code and test. I'll work it on at home and let you know if I got any issue.
