Nested exceptions

[biot023]

Hallo - I have an exception called Edm_intcatch (public Exception) that I wish to try in a class called Tdm_dirstruct.
I would expect the exception to be caught by MY code in the following example:

try{
PerformAction(); // During this function Edm_intcatch is thrown...
}
catch(Edm_intcatch&){
ShowMessage("Where I expect the catch!"
}

However, the compiler seems to catch it first & display ITS error message.
Could anyone tell me how to catch my own exception & deal with it entirely by myself, without the compiler?

Cheers,

you should put the exception code inside the function where the error ocurrs

Sorry, man - I'm not sure I follow you.

There are a number of possible errors that would throw this exception, but only here do I wish to deal with them?
Or am I misunderstanding?

Got it!
Apparently the problem was that I am an idiot.
I had the stop on exception options checked in Tools | Debugger Options | Language Exceptions

Ah, well - not the first time I've looked stupid.
