Bind Features Of An Unknown Type

If the type is unclear for a particular feature some more complex code is needed:

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// This function will try to obtain the handle to a certain driver feature list
HOBJ getDriverList( HDRV hDrv, const char* pName, const char* pAddListName, TDMR_ListType type )
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
{
  TPROPHANDLING_ERROR objResult;
  TDMR_ERROR dmrResult;
  HOBJ hObj = INVALID_ID;
  HLIST baseList;
 
  // try to locate the base list for these property
  if( ( dmrResult = DMR_FindList( hDrv, pAddListName, type, 0, &baseList ) ) == DMR_NO_ERROR )
  {
    // try to locate the property
    if( ( objResult = OBJ_GetHandleEx( baseList, pName, &hObj, smIgnoreProperties | smIgnoreMethods, 0 ) ) != PROPHANDLING_NO_ERROR )
    {
      printf( "OBJ_GetHandle for %s failed: %d Handle: %d. This list might not be supported by this device\n", pName, objResult, hObj );
    }
  }
  else
  {
    printf( "DMR_FindList failed: %d. Lists of type %d are not available for this device\n", dmrResult, type );
  }
  return hObj;
}
 
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOBJ getSettingProp( HDRV hDrv, const char* pSettingName, const char* pPropName )
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
{
  return getDriverProperty( hDrv, pPropName, pSettingName, dmltSetting );
}
 
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
void myFun()
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
{
  HDRV hDrv = getTheDriverHandleFromSomewhere();
  HOBJ hObj = getSettingProp( hDrv, "Base", "Width" );
  TComponentType type = ctProp;
  // now the property is ready to use when available:
  if( hObj != INVALID_ID )
  {
    OBJ_GetType( hObj, &type );
    switch( type )
    {
      case ctPropString:
        doStringPropAction( hObj );
        break;
      case ctPropInt:
        doIntPropAction( hObj );
        break;
      case ctPropInt64:
        doLongPropAction( hObj );
        break;
      case ctPropFloat:
        doFloatPropAction( hObj );
        break;
      default:
        // don't handle this feature. This might be a method or a list or a property
        // of a type not dealt with in the 'case' statements from above
        break;
    }
  }
  else
  {
    // oops... The feature is not offered by this device
  }
}
