Question

I am working at an OS independent file manager (using SDL). I am trying to use native functions as much as possible (with the appropriate #ifdefs), and I am having a problem with Windows. When I am using

CopyFileEx() 

for example, if there is a problem it will pop up a modal dialogue, and the user will have to press some buttons to get rid of it. I want to handle the errors myself, in my programs, to make it less annoying.

Is there any way to disable those modal windows?

I noticed that if I start my application from a debugger (Insight) it will not display those messages.

Thanks in advance!

P.S. The language I am using is plain C.

You might want the SetErrorMode function.
