Chilkat2 Java
PC/SC Wait for Smart Card Status Change (Inserted, Removed from Reader, etc.)
See more SCard Examples
Demonstrates how to synchronously wait for a status change, such as for a smart card to be inserted into a reader, or removed from a reader.Note: This functionality was introduced in Chilkat v9.5.0.87.
