When you connect the error wire to a case structure selector, you get two cases for error and no error. I think you should be able to add in cases for specific error numbers so you can handle specific errors differently. You could do this currently, but you would have to unbundle the error and use the error code.

[#2]

but i dont see any great use for this. As you yourself have said this can be done by unbundling it. and as such you cant do much in the program for the error. A wiser thing would be to display the error message no matter what error occurs.

[#3]

like this. Maybe we can suggest the dialog accepts the "source"directly instead of an unbundle

With your solution you would still need to create an nested case structure if you wanted to handle each error with custom code. 

[#5]

Sounds like a good idea. We should not be allowed to remove the plain error case, which would act as default for all errors that don't have a specific case defined.

However, I would suggest to enter the error number as integer, not as a string with quotes. It could even format it more descriptive, so if I enter 7, it would show as [Error 7] and also have a red frame. A case with multiple errors would show as [Error 7, 2000, 12345]

How about allowing a case for warnings (with e.g. an orange frame)?

[#6]

I agree Altenbach, the general error case would be the default and the quotes were because I was too lazy to cut them out and i just forced the number in there for a screenshot.

[#7]

This idea is in the same vein as this one, I think

[#8]

It seems to me that the two ideas should be merged in an elegant fashion, if possible. What about warnings?

[#9]

I agree with altenbach, but I'd prefer a yellow frame for warnings
