Description
Starts a transaction.The function waits for the completion of all other transactions before it begins. After the transaction starts, all other applications are blocked from accessing the smart card while the transaction is in progress.
If a transaction is held on the card for more than five seconds with no operations happening on that card, then the card is reset. Calling any of the Smart Card and Reader Access Functions or Direct Card Access Functions on the card that is transacted results in the timer being reset to continue allowing the transaction to be used.
The BeginTransaction function is a smart card and reader access function. For more information about other access functions, see Smart Card and Reader Access Functions.
