Walter,

You can specify a reader name to CryptAcquireContext along with the
container name.  The syntax for this is as follows.

\\.\MyReaderName\MyContainerName

For SCardUIDlgSelectCard, you can filter the selectable readers via the
LPOCNCHKPROC member of the OPENCARD_SEARCH_CRITERIA structure.

Subject: CryptAcquireContext & multiple smartcard readers


I have multiple smartcard readers installed with the exact same type of
card inserted in each, so the CSP for all readers/cards is the same.

CryptAcquireContext only allows me to specify the name of the CSP to
use.  Is there a way that I can also specify the reader/card selected
via SCardUIDlgSelectCard?  I'm using the same container name on each
card.

Walter
