Basically, when I call DeleteUrlCacheEntry (which is part of the Wininet.dll API), I either return the number 1 (which means that the removal is successful) or the number 0 (this means that the removal does not work).
My question is, how can I find out why the removal did not work? (that is, when 0 is returned). I heard that in C ++ there is a GetLastError () function, however I am using VB6, and apparently the equivalent of GetLastError in VB6 is the Err.LastDllError property.
After trying to delete DeleteUrlCacheEntry, it fails (returns 0) I call / query Err.LastDllError and always returns 0 - no matter what. It returns 0, even if DeleteUrlCacheEntry returns 0 (deletion does not work), and even when it returns 1 (deletion did the job). I also make a call / query in Err.LastDllError as soon as possible (as in, right after calling DeleteUrlCacheEntry).
I'm really confused because I don't even get a runtime error or some typical exception (or any exception for that matter). I don’t have On Error Resume Next to ignore the exception anywhere in my application, therefore all error messages are available, but I can’t understand for life why a particular DeleteUrlCacheEntry () attempt will fail and return 0 (it seems to me that there can be no way to find out).
So my question is: how to get extended error information from the DeleteUrlCacheEntry () function (located in the wininet.dll API)?
If you need more information about the reason why I was looking for additional error information from the DeleteUrlCacheEntry () function, I have another question that describes this in detail (along with the actual examples of cache elements that work and do not work when an attempt is made to delete ): https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1783298/ ...
Also, just to add, I use VB6, but basically it should be the same in most languages, since this is an API call. Here is my ad in VB6:
Public declaration Function DeleteUrlCacheEntry Lib "WININET" Alias "DeleteUrlCacheEntryA" (ByVal lpszUrlName As String) Longer
In addition, I call it as follows:
Dim lReturnValue As Long
Dim cacheFileString As String
'GetStrFromPtrA () . cacheFileString - / lpszSourceUrlName, (Long) String (/ /). , cacheFileString FindFirst/NextEntry , - , .
cacheFileString = GetStrFromPtrA (icei.lpszSourceUrlName)
lReturnValue = UrlCacheEntry (cacheFileString)
lReturnValue 0, , 1, , . , Err.LastDllError 0.
