facility_internet messages

[Liviu]

Where is one supposed to find the error text for
INET_E_RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND, for example?

FormatMessage with FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM
doesn't appear to cover the FACILITY_INTERNET codes.
As for FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_HMODULE, urlmon.dll
has no message table, and wininet.dll only has FACILITY_SSPI
entries that I can see.

Thanks,
Liviu

Don't really know if this will help, but:

Thanks, but that's not really what I was looking for. I can plug my
own text, but was trying to do it by the book and use the builtin
message (with its perks, like multi-language). Didn't quite work out,
per my other post.

After a little digging around on an XP Sp3 IE8 system, the EN-US text
can be found in the MESSAGETABLE of
%SystemRoot%\System32\en-us\urlmon.dll.mui.

First question is how on earth is one supposed to know and look it up
in that module. It's not "obvious" to me, and neither is it to MS's own
maintainers of the official FormatMessage, apparently.

Small correction: _no_longer_ has a message table.

It used to have its own MESSAGETABLE as recently as XP Sp3
(urlmon.dll v6.00.2900.5512), which covered the error codes #define'd
in urlmon.h, FormatMessage was able to look them up, and everything
worked as advertised.

Then somewhere between the security updates and IE8 came urlmon.dll
v8.00.6001.19019 which no longer has the MESSAGETABLE and
abruptly breaks FormatMessage for the INET_E_ range. I can only wonder
what the deep thinking was.
