IX509CertificateRequest::put_ParentWindow method (certenroll.h)
The ParentWindow property specifies and retrieves the ID of the window used by key-related user interface dialogs.
This property is read/write.
Syntax
HRESULT put_ParentWindow(
LONG Value
);
Parameters
Value
Return value
None
Remarks
This property value is used by key-related Certificate Enrollment Control modal dialogs that:
- Direct a user to insert a smart card
- Request a smart card pin number
- Request the protection level for a new key
- Request a user password before accessing a key
If your application uses key-related modal dialogs, we recommend that you use this property to ensure that your window displays in front of other windows and that the requested action is performed before the thread can be unblocked.
You can set this property before calling any initialization method or the Encode method. If the certificate request contains nested requests and you set the ParentWindow property on the top level request, it is automatically propagated to all of the inner requests. You can, however, set the property manually on each of the inner objects.
For a PKCS #10 request, the property value is retrieved from and specified on the associated IX509PrivateKey object if the key exists. For a PKCS #7 or CMC request the window ID is updated on the inner request and all signing certificates.
