function CParameter#

CParameter()

Creates an empty CParameter object.

Error Safety:

Does not throw C++ exceptions.

function CParameter#

explicit CParameter(
    GenApi::INode * pNode
)

Creates a CParameter 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 CParameter#

explicit CParameter(
    GenApi::IValue * pValue
)

Creates a CParameter object and attaches it to a node of a matching type.

Parameters:

• pValue The node to attach.

Postcondition: The parameter object must not be used to access the node's functionality if the source of the attached pValue has been destroyed. In this case, call Release() or attach a new node.

Error Safety:

Does not throw C++ exceptions.

function CParameter#

CParameter(
    GenApi::INodeMap * pNodeMap,
    const char * pName
)

Creates a CParameter object and attaches it to a node retrieved from the provided node map.

Parameters:

• pNodeMap The node map. The source of the parameter.
• pName The name of the parameter to attach.

Postcondition:

• If pNodeMap or name is NULL, the parameter will be empty, see IsValid().
• If the node does not match the parameter type, the parameter will be empty, see IsValid().
• If the 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 provided node map has been destroyed. In this case, call Release() or attach a new node.

Error Safety:

The call to GenApi::INodeMap::GetNode can throw C++ exceptions.
