Example


This VB example initializes a combo box with the names of the camera features grouped ander the "AnalogControls" category:

Private Sub
 Form_Load()
FeatureLst = ActiveGige1.GetFeatureList("AnalogControls")
For
 i = 0 
To
 
UBound
(FeatureLst)
Combo1.AddItem (FeatureLst(i))
Next

Combo1.ListIndex = 0
ActiveGige1.Acquire = 
True
End Sub


This MFC example fills out a combo box with camera features grouped under the "TriggerAcquisition" category:

VARIANT m_FeatureArray=m_ActiveGige.GetFeatureList("TriggerAcquisition");
SAFEARRAY *pArray=m_FeatureArray.parray;
UINT nFeatures=pArray->rgsabound[0].cElements;

CString strFeature;
CComboBox *pFeature=(CComboBox*)GetDlgItem(IDC_FEATURE);
for(UINT i=0;i<nFeatures;i++)
{
   pFeature->AddString(strFeature);
}
int iFeature=m_ActiveGige.GetFeature();
pFeature->SetCurSel(iFeature);


SafeArrayDestroy(pArray);


 

Remarks


To get or set the value of a specific camera feature, use GetFeature, GetFeatureString, SetFeature, SetFeatureString

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