WINBIO_BIOMETRIC_TYPE Constants
The following constants represent the standard biometric types defined by National Institute of Standards and Technology Information (NISTIR) 6529-A, otherwise known as the Common Biometric Exchange Formats Framework (CBEFF) Patron Format A. Only WINBIO_TYPE_FINGERPRINT is currently supported.
Constant | Description |

|
Bitmask that specifies the supported set of biometric factors. |
|
No biometric type is available. |
|
Multiple types are specified. |
