function CCommandParameter#

CCommandParameter()

Creates an empty CCommandParameter object.

Error Safety:

Does not throw C++ exceptions.

function CCommandParameter#

explicit CCommandParameter(
    GenApi::INode * pNode
)

Creates a CCommandParameter object and attaches it to a node, typically retrieved for a nodemap calling GetNode().

Parameters:

• pNode The node to attach.

Postcondition:

• If the passed node does not match the parameter type, the parameter will be empty, see IsValid().
• If the passed node does match the parameter type, it is attached and the parameter object can be used to access the node's functionality.
• The parameter object must not be used to access the node's functionality if the source of the attached pNode has been destroyed. In this case, call Release() or attach a new node.

Error Safety:

Does not throw C++ exceptions.

function CCommandParameter#

explicit CCommandParameter(
    GenApi::ICommand * pCommand
