WlxGetStatusMessage function

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

The WlxGetStatusMessage function must be implemented by a replacement GINA DLL. Winlogon calls this function to get the status message being displayed by the GINA DLL.

Note   GINA DLLs are ignored in Windows Vista.

Syntax


BOOL WlxGetStatusMessage(
  _In_   PVOID pWlxContext,
  _Out_  DWORD *pdwOptions,
  _Out_  PWSTR pMessage,
  _In_   DWORD dwBufferSize
);

Parameters

pMessage [out]

Returns the current status message text.

dwBufferSize [in]

Size of the pMessage buffer.
