WININET_E_NO_CALLBACK

WININET_E_NO_CALLBACK is a WinINet HRESULT. It means that the operation requires a status callback but no callback function is registered for the relevant Internet handle.

What to check for WININET_E_NO_CALLBACK

  • Register a valid status callback before starting the asynchronous operation that requires it.
  • Keep callback-related state alive until all associated requests have completed or been cancelled.
  • Avoid mixing an asynchronous handle configuration with code that assumes all operations complete synchronously.
