PIBIO_STORAGE_ACTIVATE_FN callback function (winbio_adapter.h)

Called by the Windows Biometric Framework to give the Storage Adapter the chance to perform any work needed to bring the storage component out of an idle state.

Syntax

PIBIO_STORAGE_ACTIVATE_FN PibioStorageActivateFn;

HRESULT PibioStorageActivateFn(
  [in, out] PWINBIO_PIPELINE Pipeline
)
{...}

Parameters

[in, out] Pipeline

Pointer to the WINBIO_PIPELINE structure associated with the biometric unit performing the operation.

Return value

If the function succeeds, it returns S_OK. If the function fails, it must return one of the following HRESULT values to indicate the error.

Return code	Description
E_POINTER	The Pipeline parameter cannot be NULL.

Remarks

This method is called when the first client session opens a handle to an inactive biometric unit.

Neither the Sensor nor the Engine adapters have been activated when this method is called.

Returning any HRESULT other than S_OK will cause the Windows Biometric Framework to log the error and abort the activation of the biometric unit.

This method executes in the context of the sensor control thread that will process all other requests for the unit, including deactivation.
