Allows pre-chat cd key authentication via the chat server.

void chatAuthenticateCDKey(

CHAT chat,

const gsi_char * cdkey,

chatAuthenticateCDKeyCallback callback,

void * param,

CHATBool blocking );

Parameters

chat

[in] Chat SDK object, previously initialized using one of the chatConnect methods.

cdkey

[in] CD key to validate; should be a valid CD key for the set game title.

callback

[in] Optional user-supplied function to be called when the operation has completed.

param

[in] Optional pointer to user data; will be passed unmodified to the callback function.

blocking

[in] If CHATTrue, return only after the operation has completed; otherwise, return immediately.

Remarks

The chatAuthenticateCDKey function may be used to authenticate a user’s cdkey before they enter the chat room. This should not be a substitute for a cdkey during gameplay. Arcade does not support this call, so users in Arcade will be able to enter chat without this validation. This method most usefull for developers who opt-out of the Arcade compatability requirements or have a separate chat area for in-game clients.

Unicode Mappings

chatAuthenticateCDKeyW and chatAuthenticateCDKeyA are UNICODE and ANSI mapped versions of chatAuthenticateCDKey. The arguments of chatAuthenticateCDKeyA are ANSI strings; those of chatAuthenticateCDKeyW are wide-character strings.
