Send Feedback

This function activates or deactivates the current password.

BOOL SetPasswordActive(BOOLbActive,LPWSTRlpszPassword );

Parameters

  • bActive
    Specifies the state of the password. If bActive is TRUE, the current password is activated. If bActive is FALSE, the current password is deactivated.
  • lpszPassword
    Pointer to a null-terminated string containing the password.

Return Values

TRUE indicates that the password has been successfully activated or deactivated; otherwise, FALSE is returned.

Remarks

This function can activate or deactivate the password without requiring the password to be stored each time, thereby allowing the device to remember the password unless a cold-boot occurs. To activate or deactivate the password, lpszPassword must match the current password.

To use this function, you must include the Password component, Fspass, in your Cesysgen.bat file.

For a sample implementation of this function, see %_WINCEROOT%\Public\Wceshellfe\Oak\Ctlpnl\Cplmain\Passwd.cpp.
