Hi everyone,

I'm using a C# class that acts as a thin wrapper around the
CredUIPromptForCredentialsW function.

A good article on this function is written here:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa480470.aspx

When calling the function with the INCORRECT_PASSWORD flag, the balloon hint
doesn't appear. I found out that this is because this flag was introduced
after XP, and only works on Win 2003 or later. I am developing and deploying
on XP.

I wonder how I can use the function differently to indicate that a login
failed.

Any ideas are very welcome!
