Windows Mobile 6.5
A version of this page is also available for

This optional function displays a dialog prompting for pwszCodeword to be entered. This is a LAP-exported function.

Copy 

BOOL LAPDisplayCodeword(
  HWND hwndParent,
  LPCWSTR pwszCodeword
);

hwndParent

[in] Handle to the parent window. This value can also be NULL.

pwszCodeword

[in] Pointer to the codeword to be entered for verification. This value can also be NULL or an empty string, if the LAP verifies the user in another way.

Returns TRUE if the dialog is displayed successfully. The function returns FALSE if the verification is aborted. To provide more details about why the function failed, use SetLastError.

To ensure that a 'live' user is authenticating with the device, the user can periodically be prompted to enter a codeword for verification. The parameter pwszCodeword is provided for convenience, but it is not required for verification. For example, the function might implement verification using a biometric device, such as a fingerprint scanner.

If this function is implemented using any kind of UI other than a simple click and dismiss dialog box, the user must be able to place emergency calls while the function is running.
