BOOL GetAccessMask (

   LONG Pos

   BSTR*Mask

   VARIANT_BOOL Access

);

Wildcard CharacterMeaning
* (asterisk)Matches zero or more characters
? (question mark)Matches a single character
DOS_DOTMatches either a period or zero characters beyond the name string

Notes:

  1. Access rights check is running in ascending order up to first mask match. Once the match is found according to Access status, VSP AX grants or denies port access to application. The rest of masks will not be checked.
  2. Access is granted to all applications by default.
  3. After using Mask string, you should execute SysFreeString command for languages, which are not using automatic memory release (VB 6 for example).
  4. This method is available starting from Windows 2000 only.
