So what you're saying is that there's nothing analogous to the Win32
translate exceptions mechanisms? This lets the OS exceptions (the beloved
GPF et al) be translated into C++ exceptions. Otherwise Win32 exceptions
(which are a quite different animal than their C++ counterparts) tend to
fall through nasty cracks with nasty results.
If there is a way to catch various errors before they pop up dialogs, then
it should be reasonably trivial to wrap these in a mechanism to translate
into C++ exceptions. Now, the question is: Is there a way to intercept
these errors before the system kicks into default behaviors?
