[Dev-C++] GetLastError, or the winapi's fraud.

[<ce...@te...>]

One more time, I find the absurd error of invalid window handle when it 
has no sense, when using a function that works for determine the file 
name for the file which will be used and adding a MessageBox in some 
points with hwnd or NULL as HWND.

And once more it makes me mad the GetLastError() or how you win the 
Heaven or know what the hell shall be. So it makes me so bad mood I will 
reflect it in the message, with your permission, just as a vengeance for 
it against the keyboard. In fact, this criminal function deserves a very 
harder treatment, only that function makes programming very frustrating 
when it comes to need its output.

GetLastError is supposed to catch the error code as it is generated when 
certain functions work. So, eg, GetDIBits finds that the pointer is not 
big enough. So you getlasterror and it says, "hey, you had no space there!".
But since I started programming I've found invariably this: when some 
function generates an error and doesn't work, windows closes it before 
GetLastError has a chance to do something and pass the result to a 
message box. So, if when something fails, it lets no chance to 
GetLastError, what in the hell is it intended for????
How shall it be used? Shall I build a time machine, so it travels 
backwards in time, to came back and say "Heeeeeeyyyyy diuúd, Ai travleed 
through space and time, bate I got so sead that to hour that I must go 
to sleep the female monkey"?????.
It has only worked twice, once saying that there was no memory to 
SetDIBits, but the bitmap was there as it should be in case it worked, 
and another time it said the file couldn't be created, but the file was 
created and written.
So I alone it's male pear, these uncles make something packasgo works.

P.S.- The ununderstandeable things are, as you can see, not needed for 
the message. Those are witticisms (I think my dictionary is not right in 
this translation) in letting the steam off. Witticisms for spanish speakers.
