How to call Submit from Credential Provider

As far as I could understand, when the user presses the Submit button eventually, the GetSerialization method will be called to get login details.

I am programming a Credential Provider that waits for some external signal to log in, and I do not want the user to press the Submit button.

Is it possible to trigger the submit event from the Credential Provider?

The more appropriate way would be to implement the IConnectableCredentialProviderCredential interface, which is designed specifically for this purpose.

I found a way to do it. The trick is not to call the submit button, but use the ICredentialProviderEvents::CredentialsChanged method. I have a thread running, that will eventually trigger the CredentialsChanged. This will then enable a new Credential that logs the user in.

This is shown in the Microsoft Sample SampleHardwareEventCredentialProvider.

It is worth notice that the Windows LogonUI automatically selects this new Credential. I do not know if this is in the documentation, but it is the behaviour I experienced.
