Simple D3DError module

This is a simple module that allows you to convert the enum from D3DERR to the appropriate text. It might not be the most efficient, but it works.

D3DError.h

Code:

---

#ifndef D3DERROR
#define D3DERROR
#include <d3dx9.h>
#include <d3d9.h>
 
namespace D3DError
{
  char *GetTextFromD3DError(HRESULT hr);
}
 
#endif

---

D3DError.cpp

Code:

---

#include "D3DError.h"
char *D3DError::GetTextFromD3DError(HRESULT hr)
{
  char *text="Undefined error";
 
  switch (hr)
  {
        case D3D_OK:
          text="D3D_OK";break;
        case D3DOK_NOAUTOGEN:
          text="D3DOK_NOAUTOGEN";break;
        case D3DERR_CONFLICTINGRENDERSTATE:
          text="D3DERR_CONFLICTINGRENDERSTATE";break;
        case D3DERR_CONFLICTINGTEXTUREFILTER:
          text="D3DERR_CONFLICTINGTEXTUREFILTER";break;
        case D3DERR_CONFLICTINGTEXTUREPALETTE:
          text="D3DERR_CONFLICTINGTEXTUREPALETTE";break;
        case D3DERR_DEVICELOST:
          text="D3DERR_DEVICELOST";break;
        case D3DERR_DEVICENOTRESET:
          text="D3DERR_DEVICENOTRESET";break;
        case D3DERR_DRIVERINTERNALERROR:
          text="D3DERR_DRIVERINTERNALERROR";break;
        case D3DERR_INVALIDCALL:
          text="D3DERR_INVALIDCALL";break;
        case D3DERR_INVALIDDEVICE:
          text="D3DERR_INVALIDDEVICE";break;
        case D3DERR_MOREDATA:
          text="D3DERR_MOREDATA";break;
        case D3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE:
          text="D3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE";break;
        case D3DERR_NOTFOUND:
          text="D3DERR_NOTFOUND";break;
        case D3DERR_OUTOFVIDEOMEMORY:
          text="D3DERR_OUTOFVIDEOMEMORY";break;
        case D3DERR_TOOMANYOPERATIONS:
          text="D3DERR_TOOMANYOPERATIONS";break;
        case D3DERR_UNSUPPORTEDALPHAARG:
          text="D3DERR_UNSUPPORTEDALPHAARG";break;
        case D3DERR_UNSUPPORTEDALPHAOPERATION:
          text="D3DERR_UNSUPPORTEDALPHAOPERATION";break;
        case D3DERR_UNSUPPORTEDCOLORARG:
          text="D3DERR_UNSUPPORTEDCOLORARG";break;
        case D3DERR_UNSUPPORTEDCOLOROPERATION:
          text="D3DERR_UNSUPPORTEDCOLOROPERATION";break;
        case D3DERR_UNSUPPORTEDFACTORVALUE:
          text="D3DERR_UNSUPPORTEDFACTORVALUE";break;
        case D3DERR_UNSUPPORTEDTEXTUREFILTER:
          text="D3DERR_UNSUPPORTEDTEXTUREFILTER";break;
        case D3DERR_WRONGTEXTUREFORMAT:
          text="D3DERR_WRONGTEXTUREFORMAT";break;
        case E_FAIL:
          text="E_FAIL";break;
        case E_INVALIDARG:
          text="E_INVALIDARG";break;
        case E_OUTOFMEMORY:
          text="E_OUTOFMEMORY";break;
  }
  return text;
}

Why reinvent the wheel?

DXGetErrorString9

For the lazy...

Code:

---

TCHAR *DXGetErrorString9(HRESULT hr);

---

Header: dxerr9.h
Import Library: dxerr9.lib
Min OS: Windows 98

Cause I was looking for the wheel that already had been invented and didn't find it

:D

Thanks Mr. Wizard for showing me that was a complete waste of time. I looked all over the SDK for something like it.
