Exception.CreateResHelp Constructor (Integer, Integer)

Creates an instance of an exception with a help-context ID and a simple message string that is loaded from the application's resources.

Pascal

constructor CreateResHelp(Ident: Integer; AHelpContext: Integer); overload;
constructor CreateResHelp(ResStringRec: PResStringRec; AHelpContext: Integer); overload;

C++

__fastcall Exception(int Ident, int AHelpContext);
__fastcall Exception(PResStringRec ResStringRec, int AHelpContext);

Description

Call CreateResHelp to construct an exception with a help-context ID and a simple message string loaded from an application's resources. Resources are bound into the application executable at compile time, but at design time they exist in a separate resource file.

Ident is the unique ID of the resource as specified in the resource file. If Ident is not a valid resource ID, CreateResHelp creates an empty message string for the exception.

AHelpContext is an integer that specifies the context-sensitive help ID for the exception.

ResStringRec is a pointer to a resource string. Its syntax appears as follows:

Copy Code

resourcestring sMyNewErrorMessage = 'You shouldn''t have done that';
const IDH_MYNEWERROR: Integer = 30000;
...
Exception.Create(@sMyNewErrorMessage, IDH_MYNEWERROR);
