What is the ShowDataSocketError function?

[CMI]

I have LabWindows/CVI 6.0. In some of the sample programs for DataSockets, there are calls to ShowDataSocketError. I assume some of these sample projects are from earlier versions of CVI. What is its equivalent in 6.0? GetLibraryErrorString?

ShowDataSocketError is a utility function that is written in the C file of the examples. Open the example and right-click on the function and click Go To Definition... and you will see that it is just written write there in the C file. This is the source for it.

static void ShowDataSocketError(HRESULT errorCode)
{
char errBuf[300];
DS_GetLibraryErrorString (errorCode, errBuf, 300);
MessagePopup ("Error", errBuf);
return;
}
