Description

The class com-error is used by the Lisp COM API when signalling errors that originate as hresult code from COM.

Example

This function silently ignores the E_NOINTERFACE error:

(defun call-ignoring-nointerface-error (function)
  (handler-bind
      ((com-error
        #'(lambda (condition)
            (when (hresult-equal (com-error-hresult
                                  condition)
                                 E_NOINTERFACE)
              (return-from
                  call-ignoring-nointerface-error
                nil)))))
    (funcall function)))
