This method is called by a file filter to report information it intentionally discarded during a file conversion. The file filter specifies a message that explains the data loss, and the mobile Internet browser formats and displays the message in a message box when the file conversion is complete. The file filter can specify either the identifier of a message table resource, or the address of a buffer that contains the message string.

Syntax

STDMETHODIMP IPegasusFileFilterSite::ReportLoss(
  DWORD dw,
  LPCTSTR psz,
  va_list* Arguments
);

Parameters

• dw
  [in] Specifies a 32-bit message identifier. ReportLoss uses IPegasusFileFilter::FormatMessage to format the message. If the format fails — for example, the message identifier could not be recognized — then the system function FormatMessage is used.

• psz
  [in] Pointer to the null-terminated message string to display. This parameter should be NULL if the dw parameter is used.

• Arguments
  [in] Pointer to an array of 32-bit values that are used as insert values in the formatted message. %1 in the format string indicates the first value in the Arguments array, %2 indicates the second argument, and so on.

Return Value

None.

Remarks

The interpretation of each 32-bit value depends on the formatting information associated with the insert in the message definition. The default is to treat each value as a pointer to a null-terminated string. By default, the Arguments parameter is of type va_list*, which is a language- and implementation-specific data type for describing a variable number of arguments.

If the Win32 error value — passed in the dw parameter of the ReportLoss method — to be formatted with FormatMessage is not NULL, then the mobile Internet browser first calls the file filter's IPegasusFileFilter::FormatMessage method in the current module request a description of the error. If the file filter's FormatMessage fails, then the browser attempts to identify the error using the system FormatMessage call.

If dw is NULL, then the strings passed in the psz and Arguments parameters are reported in a message by the mobile Internet browser when the file conversion is complete. Note that only one of the parameters dw or psz should not be NULL. That is, either a message identifier or a message string may be passed in the call to ReportLoss.
