ICspInformation::get_IsRemovable method (certenroll.h)

  • Article

The IsRemovable property retrieves a Boolean value that specifies whether the token that contains the key can be removed.

This property is read-only.

  VARIANT_BOOL *pValue

Remarks

Operator cards and smart cards are examples of removable tokens that can contain keys. For example, the following providers return true for this property value:
