Exception Behavior

This behavior is assumed when the MultiCam configuration parameter ErrorHandling is set to EXCEPTION.

When a MultiCam API function encounters an error, it throws a WIN32 structured exception. The exception code is the MultiCam error code.

Exception handling is usually performed by special compiler-dependent keywords.

The user will refer to the Windows SDK documentation and to the relevant compiler documentation for more information about WIN32 structured exceptions and how to handle them.

The exception behavior is available on Windows operating systems only.
