PWINBIO_VERIFY_CALLBACK callback function (winbio.h)

Called by the Windows Biometric Framework to return results from the asynchronous WinBioVerifyWithCallback function. The client application must implement this function.

Important  We recommend that, beginning with Windows 8, you no longer use the PWINBIO_VERIFY_CALLBACK/WinBioVerifyWithCallback combination. Instead, do the following:
  • Implement a PWINBIO_ASYNC_COMPLETION_CALLBACK function to receive notice when the operation completes.
  • Call the WinBioAsyncOpenSession function. Pass the address of your callback in the CallbackRoutine parameter. Pass WINBIO_ASYNC_NOTIFY_CALLBACK in the NotificationMethod parameter. Retrieve an asynchronous session handle.
  • Use the asynchronous session handle to call WinBioVerify. When the operation finishes, the Windows Biometric Framework will allocate and initialize a WINBIO_ASYNC_RESULT structure with the results and invoke your callback with a pointer to the results structure.
  • Call WinBioFree from your callback implementation to release the WINBIO_ASYNC_RESULT structure after you have finished using it.
 

Syntax

PWINBIO_VERIFY_CALLBACK PwinbioVerifyCallback;

void PwinbioVerifyCallback(
  [in, optional] PVOID VerifyCallbackContext,
  [in]           HRESULT OperationStatus,
  [in]           WINBIO_UNIT_ID UnitId,
  [in]           BOOLEAN Match,
  [in]           WINBIO_REJECT_DETAIL RejectDetail
)
{...}

Parameters

[in, optional] VerifyCallbackContext

Pointer to a buffer defined by the application and passed to the VerifyCallbackContext parameter of the WinBioVerifyWithCallback function. The buffer is not modified by the framework or the biometric unit. Your application can use the data to help it determine what actions to perform or to maintain additional information about the biometric capture.

[in] OperationStatus

Error code returned by the capture operation.

[in] UnitId

Biometric unit ID number.

[in] Match

A Boolean value that specifies whether the captured sample matched the user identity specified by the Identity parameter.

[in] RejectDetail

Additional information about the failure, if any, to perform the operation. For more information, see Remarks.

Return value

None

Remarks

Currently, the Windows Biometric Framework supports only fingerprint readers. Therefore, if an operation fails and returns additional information in a WINBIO_REJECT_DETAIL constant, it will be one of the following values:

  • WINBIO_FP_TOO_HIGH
  • WINBIO_FP_TOO_LOW
  • WINBIO_FP_TOO_LEFT
  • WINBIO_FP_TOO_RIGHT
  • WINBIO_FP_TOO_FAST
  • WINBIO_FP_TOO_SLOW
  • WINBIO_FP_POOR_QUALITY
  • WINBIO_FP_TOO_SKEWED
  • WINBIO_FP_TOO_SHORT
  • WINBIO_FP_MERGE_FAILURE

Examples

The following function calls WinBioVerifyWithCallback to asynchronously determine whether a biometric sample matches the logged on identity of the current user. The callback routine, VerifyCallback, and a helper function, GetCurrentUserIdentity, are also included. Link to the Winbio.lib static library and include the following header files:

  • Windows.h
  • Stdio.h
  • Conio.h
  • Winbio.h
