getexitcodeprocess exit code

[rotis23]

Hi All,

Maybe I'm getting confused - but - the docs say this:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...odeprocess.asp

<quote>
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
</quote>

So I'm doing this:

if(GetExitCodeProcess(piProcessInfo.hProcess, &dwExitCode) == 0)
			{
				//timeout or error
				perror("Error getting exit code");
				res = GetLastError();
				perror("Error getting exit code");
			}

			if(dwExitCode == 0)
			{
				perror("Error getting exit code");
				res = GetLastError();
				perror("Error getting exit code");
			}

perror and getlasterror all return 0 (no matter which one comes first) <scratches head> - are the docs wrong?

Cheers, rotis23

Sorry - was checking the dwexitcode wrongly - should be

if(dwExitCode > 0)

The process of posting helps me to solve my problems myself!
