Example

The following VB example demonstrates the use of a combo box for line mode selection:

Private Sub Form_Load()
Lst = ActiveGige1.GetEnumList("LineMode")
For i = 0 To UBound(Lst)
Combo1.AddItem (Lst(i))
Next
Combo1.ListIndex = ActiveGige1.LineMode
End Sub

Private Sub Combo1_Click()
ActiveGige1.LineMode = Combo1.Text
End Sub

Remarks

When a line supports input and output modes, the default state is "Input" to avoid possible electrical contention.

Depending on a camera model, other device-specific values may be available for this feature. The list of valid values can be retrieved using GetEnumList.

Note that the property is available only if the currently selected camera supports the LineMode feature per GenICam standard.
