GetOpenCardNameA function (winscard.h)

  • Article

The GetOpenCardName function displays the smart card "select card" dialog box. Call the function SCardUIDlgSelectCard instead of GetOpenCardName. The GetOpenCardName function is maintained for backward compatibility with version 1.0 of the Microsoft Smart Card Base Components, but calls to GetOpenCardName are mapped to SCardUIDlgSelectCard.

  [in] LPOPENCARDNAMEA unnamedParam1
);

Parameters

A pointer to the OPENCARDNAME structure for the "select card" dialog box.

Return code Description

Remarks

Note

The winscard.h header defines GetOpenCardName as an alias which automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors. For more information, see Conventions for Function Prototypes.
