OTK - throwing exceptions - xthrow

Hi Felix,

I think you can't create ProEXExceptions outside of action listeners.

You can catch ProE Exceptions with something like this :

try {
 pfcSession_ptr session = pfcGetProESession();
 session->ChangeDirectory(xrstring(xstring(curdir)));
} xcatchbegin 
 xcatchcip(defaultEx)
 cout<<defaultex<<endl;<br/>xcatchend

Otherwise you can use the normal C++ way to throw excpetions like this:

try {
 throw 20;
} catch (int e) {
 cout << "An exception occurred. Exception Nr. " << e << '\n';
}

So I think you can mix it up (never tested) like this:

try {
} catch (int e) {
} xcatchbegin
xcatchend

it could work, but I'm not on my workstation at this time, so I can test it later :)

Happy New Year to you too,

Hi all,

Eike,

You are correct - we can use C++ 'native' throw functionality.
IMHO it defeats the purpouse of handling OTK specific errors.

Here is a code snippet from OTKAsyncXSimplemode.cxx

pfcSession_ptr ses = pfcGetProESession();
wses->RibbonDefinitionfileLoad("otkAsyncExamples.rbn");




pfcAsyncConnection_ptr connection = pfcAsyncConnection::GetActiveConnection();
}
xcatch (cipXException, ciperr)
cout << "cip exception caught: " << ciperr << endl;
}
{

}
{

}
catch(...) {

}

If we would use 'throw' in our own code then the only thing we could do is to use the later 'catch' statement.


If one would expand xcatchbegin macro defined in cipxobj.h :

catch (xthrowable *__exc__) \
xthrowable_ptr __exc__ptr__ ((xthrowable *) __exc__); \
if (0) {

then we could see that whatever is thrown by xthrow function is initialized into some kind of smart pointer ( inherits from xobject which looks very similar to boost shared pointer) and the original exception instance being released.

Then control over smart pointer is passed to a some kind of reflection via xcatch macro:

} else if (TYPE::isObjKindOf (__exc__ptr__)) { \
void xthrow (xthrowable_ptr value);

And there we are back to my question which was how to use xthrow function.

TIA.
Feliks.

Hi all,

Finally figured outhow to do it. There is pfcXInAMethod which inherits from xthrowable.

The syntax:
pfcXInAMethod::Throw("throwing function name","message");

HIH.

Feliks.
