Exception Text as Message Text

[hugie]

Hi there,

Is there a possibility to show the MadExcept exception catcher dialog with the exception text as main message text?

If not, can you add an option in the configuration to show this as main text?

Background:
Due to some legacy-code design decisions we are using exception messages to show them to the user as UI Informations/feedback.
Since this now gets handled by MadExcept, the User will not understand the message anymore. Only the Generic "An error has occured" is visible.

Thank you very much.

Sure it's possible. See here:

Look for "%exceptMsg%".

Wow, awesome

a) your reply time
b) your product

Thank you very much.

It would also be useful to change the email sender's name. At present it says:

madexcept - <account anme I entered>

and to use any of the Bug Report Header items as vars. I could then insert my customer's name as the sender of the bug.

EDIT: Also, can the %exceptClass% variable contain 'Frozen' if a freeze was detected? At present it says 'Unknown'

You can change the email sender by modifying "exceptIntf.MailFrom" in a little exception handler. You can access the bug report header items by using "exceptIntf.BugReportHeader['field name']". I'll look into "%exceptClass%" for freezes, should be easy to fix.

Any progress on this (we're having a number of freezes), or am I being too optimistic

Should already be fixed in the latest beta:

http://madshi.net/madCollectionBeta.exe (installer 2.7.8.11)

The fix will also be in the next release build, hopefully later this week.

Great, thanks.

Is there a variable like %exceptClass% %exceptMsg% for the 'exception number' property as we'd like to add that to the subject too.

[madshi]

No, but you can read it in an exception handler by accessing "exceptIntf.BugReportHeader".
