Throwing and catching exceptions

Error handling in EPLAN is done preferentially by using exceptions. The API framework provides the base class BaseException , which gives you access to the error handling of EPLAN.

If an Exception object of this type is thrown, the EPLAN framework catches the exception and writes the data into the systems error management or shows the error message in the EPLAN error dialog.

Eplan.EplApi.Base.BaseException exc2= new Eplan.EplApi.Base.BaseException(
                                                "Error from CSharpAction thrown as exception",
                                                Eplan.EplApi.Base.MessageLevel.Error);

throw exc2;

Dim exc2 As New Eplan.EplApi.Base.BaseException("Error from VBAction thrown as exception", _
                                                  Eplan.EplApi.Base.MessageLevel.Error)
Throw exc2

Of course you can also catch exceptions in your API application and evaluate them, to e.g. display your own error message.

           // Test wrong settings name (throws BaseException, which is handled here)
            try
            {
                String strGuiLanguage= Settings.GetStringSetting("USER.SYSEM.GUI.LANGUAGE", 0);
                new Decider().Decide(EnumDecisionType.eOkDecision, "The current GUI language is: "+ strGuiLanguage, "", EnumDecisionReturn.eOK, EnumDecisionReturn.eOK);
            }
            catch (BaseException exc)
            {
                String strMessage= exc.Message;
                new Decider().Decide(EnumDecisionType.eOkDecision, "Exception: " + strMessage, "", EnumDecisionReturn.eOK, EnumDecisionReturn.eOK);
            }

' Test wrong settings name (throws BaseException, which is handled here)
Try
   Dim strGuiLanguage As String = Settings.GetStringSetting("USER.SYSEM.GUI.LANGUAGE", 0)
   Dim message as Decider = New Decider
   message.Decide(EnumDecisionType.eOkDecision, "The current GUI language is: "+  strGuiLanguage, "", EnumDecisionReturn.eOK, EnumDecisionReturn.eOK)
Catch exc As BaseException
   Dim strMessage As String = exc.Message
   Dim message as Decider = New Decider
   message.Decide(EnumDecisionType.eOkDecision, "Exception: " + strMessage, "", EnumDecisionReturn.eOK, EnumDecisionReturn.eOK)
End Try
