(Visual Basic 6.0) PC/SC Find Inserted Smart Cards

See more SCard Examples

Get detailed information about each reader including whether or not a smart card is currently inserted in the reader. (Also includes USB tokens.)

Note: This functionality was introduced in Chilkat v9.5.0.87.

' This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Dim scard As New ChilkatSCard

' First establish a context to the PC/SC Resource Manager
Dim success As Long
success = scard.EstablishContext("user")
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print scard.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

' Get JSON containing information about the smartcards currently inserted into readers.
' This also includes information about USB security tokens.
Dim json As New ChilkatJsonObject
success = scard.FindSmartcards(json)
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print scard.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

Debug.Print json.Emit()

' Here is sample output:
' See below for sample code to parse the JSON.

' You can see which readers have a card inserted by the "state".
' If the state contains "present", then a card is inserted into the reader.
' (USB tokens will typically always have a state containing "present")
' Also, the ATR of the card inserted into the reader is indicated by "atr".
