VB6/VBA Syntax


Public Declare Function X509_CertIssuedOn Lib "diCrPKI.dll" 
    (ByVal strCertFile As String, ByVal strOutput As String, 
    ByVal nOutChars As Long, ByVal nOptions As Long) As Long

nRet = X509_CertIssuedOn(strCertFile, strOutput, nOutChars, nOptions)

Parameters

strCertFile: [in] String with the filename of the X.509 certificate (or base64 representation).
strOutput: [out] String to receive the time-date string.
nOutChars: [in] Long specifying the maximum length of the time-date string.
nOptions: [in] Long option flags: not used in this release. Specify zero.

C/C++ Syntax


long _stdcall X509_CertIssuedOn(const char *szCertFile, char *szOutput, long nOutChars, long flags);

Returns (VB6/C)

Long: Returns the number of characters set in strOutput. If nOutChars is zero it returns the maximum number of characters required (currently 20, but don't assume that for future releases). C/C++ users should allocate one extra for the terminating NUL character. If an error occurs, it returns a negative error code.
