In addition to the COM error codes listed above, this interface may return a smart card error code if a smart card function was called to complete the request. For more information, see Smart Card Return Values.
Examples
The following example shows retrieving the identifiers of the interfaces supported for the specified smart card.
BSTR bstrCard = NULL;
LPSAFEARRAY pGuids = NULL;
HRESULT hr;
bstrCard = SysAllocString(L"GemSAFE");
// Call the function for the specified card.
hr = pISCDataBase->ListCardInterfaces(bstrCard,
&pGuids);
if (FAILED(hr))
{
printf("Failed ListCardInterfaces\n");
// Take other error handling action as needed.
}
else
{
// Use the safe array as needed.
// ...
