WinBioEnrollCaptureWithCallback function (winbio.h)
Asynchronously captures a biometric sample and adds it to a template. The function returns immediately to the caller, performs enrollment on a separate thread, and calls into an application-defined callback function to update operation status.
We recommend that, beginning with Windows 8, you no longer use this function to start an asynchronous operation. Instead, do the following:
- Implement a PWINBIO_ASYNC_COMPLETION_CALLBACK function to receive notice when the operation completes.
- Call the WinBioAsyncOpenSession function. Pass the address of your callback in the CallbackRoutine parameter. Pass WINBIO_ASYNC_NOTIFY_CALLBACK in the NotificationMethod parameter. Retrieve an asynchronous session handle.
- Use the asynchronous session handle to call WinBioEnrollCapture. When the operation finishes, the Windows Biometric Framework will allocate and initialize a WINBIO_ASYNC_RESULT structure with the results and invoke your callback with a pointer to the results structure.
- Call WinBioFree from your callback implementation to release the WINBIO_ASYNC_RESULT structure after you have finished using it.
Syntax
HRESULT WinBioEnrollCaptureWithCallback(
[in] WINBIO_SESSION_HANDLE SessionHandle,
[in] PWINBIO_ENROLL_CAPTURE_CALLBACK EnrollCallback,
[in, optional] PVOID EnrollCallbackContext
);
Parameters
[in] SessionHandle
A WINBIO_SESSION_HANDLE value that identifies an open biometric session.
[in] EnrollCallback
Address of a callback function that will be called by the WinBioEnrollCaptureWithCallback function when the capture operation succeeds or fails. You must create the callback.
[in, optional] EnrollCallbackContext
Pointer to an optional application-defined structure that is passed to the EnrollCallbackContext parameter of the callback function. This structure can contain any data that the custom callback function is designed to handle.
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 calling account is not allowed to perform enrollment. |
|
The session handle is not valid. |
|
The pointer specified by the EnrollCallback parameter cannot be NULL. |
Remarks
If the SessionHandle parameter refers to the system sensor pool, the callback function will not be called until the application acquires window focus and the user has provided a biometric sample. The manner in which you acquire focus depends on the type of application you are writing. For example, if you are creating a GUI application you can implement a message handler that captures a WM_ACTIVATE, WM_SETFOCUS, or other appropriate message. If you are writing a CUI application, call GetConsoleWindow to retrieve a handle to the console window and pass that handle to the SetForegroundWindow function to force the console window into the foreground and assign it focus. If your application is running in a detached process and has no window or is a Windows service, use WinBioAcquireFocus and WinBioReleaseFocus to manually control focus.
Examples
The following code example enrolls a fingerprint asynchronously by calling WinBioEnrollCaptureWithCallback and passing a pointer to a custom callback function. The callback function, EnrollCaptureCallback, is also shown. Link to the Winbio.lib static library.
