My application shows various external images picked up from hard disk.
Unfortunately, sometimes a file has bad format.
In this case i would like that if the program doesn't pop up a silly message and dies immediatly after hitting the enter key.
In my dreams, my lite-c code would handle such cases, would show own message, and wouldn't die.
Just continue the work.
What should i write in my code to do this?
Thanks in advance.

maybe it can help you:

if the error happens on image loading/creation:
set warn_level to 0, in theory it surpresses all error messages.

if the error message happens on image manipulation:
you can get the image format by bmap_lock and use bmap_to_format to convert them to a suitable format, like 888 or 8888 from dds for pixel manipulations.

I don't think setting warn_level to 0 will suppress error messages, only warnings. But try it anyways!

Thanks for the idea, i will try it.

My way:
Hook MessageBoxA and read the error (split it down to one or two words) and use a simple if condition to filter the msg. You can also block the msgbox if you dont call the orig function!
This method works 100%

Sivan, warn_level=0 didn't help.
The issue is the same.

How do you load the image (which lite-c function do you use)?

I´ve had the same problems in past. Do you have the error only with specific file extensions, like tga? In this case, you could try to use
bmap_load(BMAP*,char* name,var mode)
for these extensions.

The file extension is irrelevant, i can have tga files with bga, txt, tundra, werewolf or chips or other extensions.
Naturally, i tried the bmap_load, it gives E2000.
