WlxDisplayStatusMessage function (winwlx.h)

[The WlxDisplayStatusMessage function is no longer available for use as of Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista.]

The WlxDisplayStatusMessage function must be implemented by a replacement GINA DLL. Winlogon calls this function when the GINA DLL should display a message.

Note   GINA DLLs are ignored in Windows Vista.
