DosSetSignalExceptionFocus

Causes the current process to become the focus for the Ctrl+C and Ctrl+Break signals.

Syntax

DosSetSignalExceptionFocus(flag, pulTimes)

Parameters

flag (BOOL32)

Focus flag.

pulTimes (PULONG)

The number of times DosSetSignalExceptionFocus has been called by the current process with flag set to SIG_SETFOCUS, minus the number of times it has been called with flag set to SIG_UNSETFOCUS.

Return Code

ulrc (APIRET) - returns

DosSetSignalExceptionFocus returns one of the following values:

• 0 NO_ERROR
• 1 ERROR_INVALID_FUNCTION
• 300 ERROR_ALREADY_RESET
• 303 ERROR_INVALID_PROCID
• 650 ERROR_NESTING_TOO_DEEP

Remarks

Do not make Presentation Manager calls from exception handlers.

DosSetSignalExceptionFocus causes the calling process to become the signal focus for its screen group for the XCPT_SIGNAL_BREAK (Ctrl+Break) and XCPT_SIGNAL_INTR (Ctrl+C) signal exceptions.

You cannot issue DosSetSignalExceptionFocus from a Presentation Manager (PM) application. If you do, you get the return code ERROR_INVALID_PROCID. You can issue this function from a full-screen or windowed application.

Example Code

This example shows how to set the current thread to be the focus for the Ctrl+C and Ctrl+Break signals.
