is it thumbprint left and right in image data type? i mean is it can be retrieve as jpeg or so on image format.

The thumbprint is in a minutiae format (possibly proprietary and used in MyKad only), not raster image format. My findings show that it stores 4 bytes per minutiae: 1 byte for x-coordinate, 1 byte for y-coordinate, 1 byte for direction, 1 byte for type. I'm unable to find any standard format that matches this characteristic.

hey xenon,
i've downloaded your mykad coding but
i am having problem detecting if mykad has been inserted into the reader, can you help?
i'm working on kiosks and i need that function
thx

i have developing dll.can work with any card reader .gimme ur best price then i will consider sell with source code.

baby-doom, refer to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa380151(VS.85).aspx SCardGetStatusChange and SCardCancel. You might know what to do next. Call SCardGetStatusChange in a separate thread because it blocks.

Hi Xenon,

I am so surprised to download your codes, where I find the SDK which I bought somewhere resembles them a lot. Yet, after comparison, yours is noticeably faster and easier as you gave the original codes. The SDK, offers only wrapped DLL.

Thank you so much... if there is anyway I can thank you and this forum, please mention.

Well, there are a few new discoveries you've mentioned, such as the fingerprint image, JPJ apps which are not yet included. If you can share how to get them, it would be much appreciated. And... mykids... are they using different methods.

I am thinking to apply the full command sets from JPN. I am arranging the necessary documents and such. It might take sometimes. If I ever get them, maybe there is something I can share here too.

Thank you.
