Exception-handling constants

The constant EXCEPTION_CONTINUE_SEARCH, EXCEPTION_CONTINUE_EXECUTION, or EXCEPTION_EXECUTE_HANDLER is returned when an exception occurs during execution of the guarded section of a try-except statement. The return value determines how the exception is handled. For more information, see try-except Statement in the C++ Language Reference.
