pinPad1.EnablePinEntry()

Syntax

'Declaration
Public MustOverride Sub EnablePinEntry()

public abstract void EnablePinEntry();

public: abstract Void EnablePinEntry();

public abstract void EnablePinEntry();

public abstract function EnablePinEntry() : Void;

Remarks

The application calls EnablePinEntry to start PIN entry at the PIN pad device. When EnablePinEntry is called, the base class sets the PinEntryEnabled property to TRUE.

When the user has completed the PIN entry operation (either by entering their PIN or by hitting Cancel), the service object calls the ExitPinEntry protected method of the PinPadBase class. ExitPinEntry fires a DataEvent event to provide the encrypted PIN to the application (when the DataEventEnabled property is set to TRUE). In addition, ExitPinEntry sets the PinEntryEnabled property to FALSE.

Note that any data the user enters at the PIN pad while the PinEntryEnabled property is set to TRUE will be supplied in encrypted form to the application and will NOT be provided to any associated PosKeyboard Class.

EnablePinEntry returns void if successful, and it can throw the following exceptions:
