Windows Error Reporting
Overview of the Windows Error Reporting technology.
To develop Windows Error Reporting, you need these headers:
For programming guidance for this technology, see:
Enumerations
| REPORT_STORE_TYPES Defines the types of Windows Error Reporting (WER) report stores that can be opened. |
| WER_CONSENT Defines the possible Windows Error Reporting (WER) user consent states. |
| WER_DUMP_TYPE Defines the possible Windows Error Reporting (WER) minidump types. |
| WER_FILE_TYPE Defines the possible Windows Error Reporting (WER) file types for the minidump report. |
| WER_REGISTER_FILE_TYPE Defines the Windows Error Reporting (WER) file types that can be registered. |
| WER_REPORT_TYPE Defines the Windows Error Reporting (WER) report types. |
| WER_REPORT_UI Defines the indexes of the Windows Error Reporting (WER) report's customizable UI strings. |
| WER_SUBMIT_RESULT Defines the Windows Error Reporting (WER) submission result options. |
Functions
| AddERExcludedApplicationA Excludes the specified application from error reporting. (ANSI) |
| AddERExcludedApplicationW Excludes the specified application from error reporting. (Unicode) |
| PFN_WER_RUNTIME_EXCEPTION_DEBUGGER_LAUNCH Windows Error Reporting (WER) calls this function to let you customize the debugger launch options and launch string. |
| PFN_WER_RUNTIME_EXCEPTION_EVENT Windows Error Reporting (WER) calls this function to determine whether the exception handler is claiming the crash. |
| PFN_WER_RUNTIME_EXCEPTION_EVENT_SIGNATURE Windows Error Reporting (WER) calls this function to get the report parameters that uniquely describe the problem. |
| ReportFault Enables an application that performs its own exception handling to report faults to Microsoft. |
| WerAddExcludedApplication Adds the specified application to the list of applications that are to be excluded from error reporting. |
| WerFreeString Frees up the memory used to store a report key string. This should be called after each successive call to WerStoreGetFirstReportKey or WerStoreGetNextReportKey, once the particular report key string has been used and is no longer needed. |
| WerGetFlags Retrieves the fault reporting settings for the specified process. |
| WerRegisterAdditionalProcess Registers a process to be included in the Windows Error Reporting (WER) report along with the main application process. Optionally specifies a thread within that registered process to get additional data from. |
| WerRegisterAppLocalDump Registers a path (relative to the LocalFolder of the packaged application) where a copy should be saved of the diagnostic memory dump that Windows Error Reporting (WER) collects when one of the processes for the application stops responding. |
| WerRegisterCustomMetadata Registers app-specific metadata to be collected (in the form of key/value strings) for the Windows Error Reporting (WER) error report. |
| WerRegisterExcludedMemoryBlock Marks a memory block (that is normally included by default in error reports) to be excluded from the Windows Error Reporting (WER) error report. |
| WerRegisterFile Registers a file to be collected when Windows Error Reporting (WER) creates an error report. |
| WerRegisterMemoryBlock Registers a memory block to be collected when Windows Error Reporting (WER) creates an error report. |
| WerRegisterRuntimeExceptionModule Registers a custom runtime exception handler that is used to provide custom Windows Error Reporting (WER) for crashes. |
| WerRemoveExcludedApplication Removes the specified application from the list of applications that are to be excluded by Windows Error Reporting (WER). |
| WerReportAddDump Adds a dump of the specified type to the specified Windows Error Reporting (WER) report. |
| WerReportAddFile Adds a file to the specified Windows Error Reporting (WER) report. |
| WerReportCloseHandle Closes the specified Windows Error Reporting (WER) report. |
| WerReportCreate Creates a Windows Error Reporting (WER) report that describes an application event. |
| WerReportHang Initiates "no response" reporting on the specified window. |
| WerReportSetParameter Sets the parameters that uniquely identify an event for the specified Windows Error Reporting (WER) report. |
| WerReportSetUIOption Sets the user interface options for the specified Windows Error Reporting (WER) report. |
| WerReportSubmit Submits the specified Windows Error Reporting (WER) report. |
| WerSetFlags Sets the Windows Error Reporting (WER) reporting settings for the current process. |
| WerSetMaxProcessHoldMilliseconds Sets the maximum process hold time for Windows Error Reporting (WER), in milliseconds. |
| WerStoreClose Closes the collection of stored Windows Error Reporting (WER) reports. |
| WerStoreGetFirstReportKey Gets a reference to the first Windows Error Reporting (WER) report in the report store. |
| WerStoreGetNextReportKey Gets a reference to the next Windows Error Reporting (WER) report in the error report store. |
| WerStoreGetReportCount Gets the number of Windows Error Reporting (WER) reports in the error report store. |
| WerStoreGetSizeOnDisk Gets the size of the Windows Error Reporting (WER) error report store, in bytes. |
| WerStoreOpen Opens the collection of stored Windows Error Reporting (WER) error reports. |
| WerStorePurge Purges the Windows Error Reporting (WER) report store. |
| WerStoreQueryReportMetadataV1 Retrieves metadata about a Windows Error Reporting (WER) report in the store. |
| WerStoreQueryReportMetadataV2 Retrieves metadata about a Windows Error Reporting (WER) report in the store. |
| WerStoreQueryReportMetadataV3 Retrieves metadata about a Windows Error Reporting (WER) report in the store. |
| WerStoreUploadReport Uploads a report to the Windows Error Reporting (WER) store. |
| WerUnregisterAdditionalProcess Removes a process from the list of additional processes to be included in the Windows Error Reporting (WER) error report. |
| WerUnregisterAppLocalDump Cancels the registration that was made by calling the WerRegisterAppLocalDump function to specify that Windows Error Reporting (WER) should save a copy of the diagnostic memory dump that WER collects when one of the processes for the application stops responding. |
| WerUnregisterCustomMetadata Removes an item of app-specific metadata being collected during Windows Error Reporting (WER) for the application. |
| WerUnregisterExcludedMemoryBlock Removes a memory block that was previously marked as excluded, which will again be included in Windows Error Reporting] (WER) error reports. |
| WerUnregisterFile Removes a file from the list of files to be added to Windows Error Reporting (WER) reports generated for the current process. |
| WerUnregisterMemoryBlock Removes a memory block from the list of data to be collected during Windows Error Reporting (WER) for the application. |
| WerUnregisterRuntimeExceptionModule Removes the registration of the Windows Error Reporting (WER) exception handler. |
