UnhandledExceptionFilter info  Overview  Group

The UnhandledExceptionFilter function passes unhandled exceptions to the debugger, if the process is being debugged.

This function can be called only from within the filter expression of a try-except exception handler.

Remarks

If the process is not being debugged, the function displays an Application Error message box, depending on the current error mode. The default behavior is to display the dialog box, but this can be disabled by specifying SEM_NOGPFAULTERRORBOX in a call to the SetErrorMode function.

The system uses UnhandledExceptionFilter internally to handle exceptions that occur during process and thread creation.
