Bind Features Of An Unknown Type

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

Device* pDev = getTheDevicePointerFromSomewhere();
DeviceComponentLocator locator(pDev, dltSetting, "Base");
Component feature;
locator.bindComponent( feature, "Feature" );
// now the feature is ready to use when available:
if( feature.isValid() )
{
  cout << "Feature " << feature.name() << " is a " << feature.typeAsString() << endl;
  switch( feature.type() )
  {
    case ctPropString:
      PropertyS stringProp( feature );
      doStringPropAction( stringProp );
      break;
    case ctPropInt:
      PropertyI intProp( feature );
      doIntPropAction( intProp );
      break;
    case ctPropInt64:
      PropertyI64 longProp( feature );
      doLongPropAction( longProp );
      break;
    case ctPropFloat:
      PropertyF floatProp( feature );
      doFloatPropAction( floatProp );
      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
}
