Author:

emenaker - 2003.03.18 This is an extension to the Exception class that allows for us to keep track of whether the user has been notified of the problem. There are sometimes cases where an exception is thrown at a very low level and we need to pop up a dialog box or warning message at that low level AND we also want to re-throw the exception. To prevent the higher-level code from popping up more dialog boxes, we can use this exception class to determine if the user has already been made aware of a problem and has been told, in general terms anyway, how that will probably affect the function of the higher-level code. This way, the exception can be re-thrown to notify higher-level code, and that code will be able to make a better decision on whether or not to interact with the user about it. - emenaker 2003.03.18
