WinBioCancel function (winbio.h)

Article
10/13/2021

Cancels all pending biometric operations for a specified session. Starting with Windows 10, build 1607, this function is available to use with a mobile image.

Syntax

HRESULT WinBioCancel(
  [in] WINBIO_SESSION_HANDLE SessionHandle
);

Parameters

[in] SessionHandle

A WINBIO_SESSION_HANDLE value that identifies an open biometric session. Open a synchronous session handle by calling WinBioOpenSession. Open an asynchronous session handle by calling WinBioAsyncOpenSession.

Return value

If the function succeeds, it returns S_OK. If the function fails, it returns an HRESULT value that indicates the error. Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the following table. For a list of common error codes, see Common HRESULT Values.

Return code	Description
E_HANDLE	The session handle is not valid.

Remarks

To use WinBioCancel synchronously, call the function with a session handle created by calling WinBioOpenSession. When you call the function by using a synchronous session handle:

If there are no pending operations, the function returns S_OK and performs no other actions.
Pending asynchronous operations receive a callback notification for which the OperationStatus parameter is set to WINBIO_E_CANCELED.
Blocked asynchronous operations started by other threads in the process return WINBIO_E_CANCELED.

To use WinBioCancel asynchronously, call the function with a session handle created by calling WinBioAsyncOpenSession. When you call the function with an asynchronous session handle:

The function verifies the input parameter and returns immediately with either S_OK or an error code.
Pending asynchronous operations receive a completion notification that sets the ApiStatus member of their respective WINBIO_ASYNC_RESULT structures to WINBIO_E_CANCELED.

The framework also allocates a WINBIO_ASYNC_RESULT structure for WinBioCancel and uses it to return information about cancellation success or failure. The WINBIO_ASYNC_RESULT structure is returned to the application callback or to the application message queue, depending on the value you set in the NotificationMethod parameter of the WinBioAsyncOpenSession function:

If you choose to receive completion notices by using a callback, you must implement a PWINBIO_ASYNC_COMPLETION_CALLBACK function and set the NotificationMethod parameter to WINBIO_ASYNC_NOTIFY_CALLBACK.
If you choose to receive completion notices by using the application message queue, you must set the NotificationMethod parameter to WINBIO_ASYNC_NOTIFY_MESSAGE. The framework returns a WINBIO_ASYNC_RESULT pointer to the LPARAM field of the window message.

To prevent memory leaks, you must call WinBioFree to release the WINBIO_ASYNC_RESULT structure after you have finished using it.

Examples

The following code example captures a sample asynchronously by calling WinBioCaptureSampleWithCallback. You can pass a Boolean value to the function that will, if set to TRUE, cancel the capture operation. Link to the Winbio.lib static library and include the following header files:

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

HRESULT CaptureSampleWithCallback(BOOL bCancel)
{
    HRESULT hr = S_OK;
    WINBIO_SESSION_HANDLE sessionHandle = NULL;

    // Connect to the system pool. 
    hr = WinBioOpenSession( 
            WINBIO_TYPE_FINGERPRINT,    // Service provider
            WINBIO_POOL_SYSTEM,         // Pool type
            WINBIO_FLAG_RAW,            // Raw access
            NULL,                       // Array of biometric unit IDs
            0,                          // Count of biometric unit IDs
            WINBIO_DB_DEFAULT,          // Default database
            &sessionHandle              // [out] Session handle
            );
    if (FAILED(hr))
    {
        wprintf_s(L"\n WinBioOpenSession failed. hr = 0x%x\n", hr);
        goto e_Exit;
    }

    // Capture a biometric sample asynchronously.
    wprintf_s(L"\n Calling WinBioCaptureSampleWithCallback ");
    hr = WinBioCaptureSampleWithCallback(
            sessionHandle,                  // Open session handle
            WINBIO_NO_PURPOSE_AVAILABLE,    // Intended use of the sample
            WINBIO_DATA_FLAG_RAW,           // Sample format
            CaptureSampleCallback,          // Callback function
            NULL                            // Optional context
            );

        goto e_Exit;
    }
    wprintf_s(L"\n Swipe the sensor ...\n");

    // Cancel the capture operation if the bCancel flag is set.
    if (bCancel)
    {
        wprintf_s(L"\n Starting CANCEL timer...");
        Sleep( 7000 );

        wprintf_s(L"\n Calling WinBioCancel\n");
        hr = WinBioCancel( sessionHandle );
        if (FAILED(hr))
        {
            wprintf_s(L"\n WinBioCancel failed. hr = 0x%x\n", hr);
            goto e_Exit;
        }
    }

    // Wait for the asynchronous capture process to complete 
    // or be canceled.
    hr = WinBioWait( sessionHandle );
    if (FAILED(hr))
    {
        wprintf_s(L"\n WinBioWait failed. hr = 0x%x\n", hr);
    }

e_Exit:

        WinBioCloseSession(sessionHandle);
        sessionHandle = NULL;
    }

    wprintf_s(L"\n Press any key to exit...");
    _getch();

    return hr;
