RE: credential provider and OnCreatingWindow

My Credential Provider solution made fairly extensive use of custom dialogs,
none of which take any user input (they are all display-only). I never ran
into the time limitation you described. I do, however, refresh the content of
the dialogs via an update thread every couple of seconds: if the time limit
really is enforced, maybe simply refreshing the dialog is enough to get
around it.

In document "Windows Vista Credential Providers," it states that function
"OnCreatingWindow" (interface ICredentialProviderCredentialEvents) allows
credential providers to retrieve their parent's HWND for displaying custom
dialog boxes. It also states that LogonUI will destroy child dialogs that do
not generate any input for 2 minutes.

My dialog needs to be present indefinitely with possibly long periods of
inactivity.

Questions:
1. Is there a way to override LogonUI's default action?
2. Is there another way of creating a dialog in the credential provider
environment (besides PLAP) that has no time limit on user input?
3. Could I artificially generate input every so often to get around this
prohibition?

Thanks
