◄Up► ◄Contents► ◄Index► ◄Back► ──Microsoft Foundation Classes────────────────────────────────────────────── CATCH( exception_class, exception_object_pointer_name ) Parameter Description <exception_class> The specific exception type to test for. For a list of standard exception classes, see ◄CException►. <exception_object_pointer_name> A name for an exception object pointer that will be created by the macro. You can use the pointer name to access the exception object within the CATCH block. Remarks Defines a block of code for catching the first exception type thrown in a preceding TRY block. The exception-processing code can interrogate the exception object, if appropriate, to get more information about the specific cause of the exception. Invocation of the THROW_LAST macro shifts processing to the next outer exception frame. NOTE: The CATCH block is defined as a C++ scope (delineated by curly braces). If you declare variables in this scope, remember that they are accessible only within that scope. If <exception_class> is CException, then all exception types will be caught. You can use ◄CObject::IsKindOf► to determine which specific exception was thrown. A better way to catch several kinds of exceptions is to use sequential AND_CATCH statements, each with a different exception type. NOTE: The exception object is created by the macro. You do not need to declare it yourself. See Also ◄TRY►, ◄AND_CATCH►, ◄END_CATCH►, ◄THROW►, ◄THROW_LAST► -♦-
