WinBioCloseSession function (winbio.h)
Closes a biometric session and releases associated resources. Starting with Windows 10, build 1607, this function is available to use with a mobile image.
Syntax
HRESULT WinBioCloseSession(
[in] WINBIO_SESSION_HANDLE SessionHandle
);
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.
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. |
Remarks
To use WinBioCloseSession 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 WinBioCloseSession 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. 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.
Examples
The following function shows how to enumerate the biometric sub-factors enrolled for a template. The sample creates a connection to the system pool and keeps the connection open until calling WinBioCloseSession during cleanup. Link to the Winbio.lib static library and include the following header files:
- Windows.h
- Stdio.h
- Conio.h
- Winbio.h
