WinBioEnumEnrollments function (winbio.h)
Retrieves the biometric sub-factors enrolled for a specified identity and biometric unit. Starting with Windows 10, build 1607, this function is available to use with a mobile image.
Syntax
HRESULT WinBioEnumEnrollments(
[in] WINBIO_SESSION_HANDLE SessionHandle,
[in] WINBIO_UNIT_ID UnitId,
[in] WINBIO_IDENTITY *Identity,
WINBIO_BIOMETRIC_SUBTYPE **SubFactorArray,
[out, optional] SIZE_T *SubFactorCount
);
Parameters
[in] SessionHandle
A WINBIO_SESSION_HANDLE value that identifies an open biometric session. Open a synchronous session handle by calling WinBioOpenSession. Open an asynchronous session handle by calling WinBioAsyncOpenSession.
[in] UnitId
A WINBIO_UNIT_ID value that specifies the biometric unit.
[in] Identity
Pointer to a WINBIO_IDENTITY structure that contains the GUID or SID of the template from which the sub-factors are to be retrieved.
SubFactorArray
Address of a variable that receives a pointer to an array of sub-factors. If the function does not succeed, the pointer is set to NULL. If the function succeeds, you must pass the pointer to WinBioFree to release memory allocated internally for the array.
[out, optional] SubFactorCount
Pointer to a value that specifies the number of elements in the array pointed to by the SubFactorArray parameter. If the function does not succeed, this value is set to zero.
Return value
If the function succeeds, it returns S_OK. If the function fails, it returns an HRESULT value that indicates the error. Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the following table. For a list of common error codes, see Common HRESULT Values.
| Return code | Description |
|---|---|
|
The session handle is not valid. |
|
The UnitId parameter cannot be zero. |
|
The Identity, SubFactorArray, and SubFactorCount parameters cannot be NULL. |
|
The operation could not be completed because the biometric unit specified by the UnitId parameter is currently being used for an enrollment transaction. |
|
The GUID or SID specified by the Identity parameter cannot be found. |
Remarks
The WinBioEnumEnrollments function is supplied primarily so that the applications can provide user feedback. For example, your application can call this function to tell the user which fingerprints are already enrolled on a specific fingerprint reader.
After you are finished using the structures returned to the SubFactorArray parameter, you must call WinBioFree to release the memory allocated internally for the array.
To use WinBioEnumEnrollments synchronously, call the function with a session handle created by calling WinBioOpenSession. The function blocks until the operation completes or an error is encountered.
To use WinBioEnumEnrollments asynchronously, call the function with a session handle created by calling WinBioAsyncOpenSession. The framework allocates a WINBIO_ASYNC_RESULT structure and uses it to return information about operation success or failure. If the operation is successful, the framework returns WINBIO_IDENTITY and WINBIO_BIOMETRIC_SUBTYPE information in a nested EnumEnrollments structure. If the operation is unsuccessful, the framework returns error information. The WINBIO_ASYNC_RESULT structure is returned to the application callback or to the application message queue, depending on the value you set in the NotificationMethod parameter of the WinBioAsyncOpenSession function:
- If you choose to receive completion notices by using a callback, you must implement a PWINBIO_ASYNC_COMPLETION_CALLBACK function and set the NotificationMethod parameter to WINBIO_ASYNC_NOTIFY_CALLBACK.
- If you choose to receive completion notices by using the application message queue, you must set the NotificationMethod parameter to WINBIO_ASYNC_NOTIFY_MESSAGE. The framework returns a WINBIO_ASYNC_RESULT pointer to the LPARAM field of the window message.
