pList [out,retval]

Pointer to the SAFEARRAY containing IP addresses

Example

This VB example initializes a combo box with IP addresses and uses it to switch between the cameras:

Private Sub Form_Load()
CamIPLst = ActiveGige1.GetCameraIPList
For i = 0 To UBound(CamIPLst)
Combo1.AddItem (CamIPLst(i))
Next
Combo1.ListIndex = 0
ActiveGige1.Acquire = True
End Sub

Private Sub Combo1_Click()
ActiveGige1.Camera = Combo1.ListIndex
End Sub
This MFC example fills out a combo box with IP addresses:

VARIANT m_CamArray=m_ActiveGige.GetCameraIPList();
SAFEARRAY *pArray=m_CamArray.parray;
UINT nCam=pArray->rgsabound[0].cElements;

CString strCamera;
CComboBox *pCamera=(CComboBox*)GetDlgItem(IDC_CAMERA);
for(UINT i=0;i<nCam;i++)
{
      CString str; str.Format("Camera %d",i);
      pCamera->AddString(str);
}
int iCam=m_ActiveGige.GetCamera();
pCamera->SetCurSel(iCam);

SafeArrayDestroy(pArray);


Remarks

The IP addresses are returned in the Internet standard dotted format such as 169.254.102.77

The index of an element in the IP list can be used as an argument of the Camera property to select a specific device.

Note that in C/C++ applications it is required to call SafeArrayDestroy() to delete the SAFEARRAY returned by GetCameraIPList.
