Bind Features Of An Unknown Type

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

mvIMPACT.acquire.Device pDev = getTheDevicePointerFromSomewhere();
mvIMPACT.acquire.DeviceComponentLocator locator = new mvIMPACT.acquire.DeviceComponentLocator( pDev, TDeviceListType.dltSetting, "Base" );
mvIMPACT.acquire.Component feature = new mvIMPACT.acquire.Component();
locator.bindComponent( feature, "Feature" );
// now the feature is ready to use when available:
if( feature.isValid() )
{
  System.out.println( String.format( "Feature %s is a %s", feature.name(), feature.typeAsString() );
  final int featureType = feature.type();
  if( featureType == TComponentType.ctPropString )
  {
    mvIMPACT.acquire.PropertyS stringProp = new mvIMPACT.acquire.PropertyS( feature.hObj() );
    doStringPropAction( stringProp );
  }
  else if( featureType == TComponentType.ctPropInt )
  {
    mvIMPACT.acquire.PropertyI intProp = new mvIMPACT.acquire.PropertyI( feature.hObj() );
    doIntPropAction( intProp );
  }
  else if( featureType == TComponentType.ctPropInt64 )
  {
    mvIMPACT.acquire.PropertyI64 longProp = new mvIMPACT.acquire.PropertyI64( feature.hObj() );
    doLongPropAction( longProp );
  }
  else if( featureType == TComponentType.ctPropFloat )
  {
    mvIMPACT.acquire.PropertyF floatProp = new mvIMPACT.acquire.PropertyF( feature.hObj() );
    doFloatPropAction( floatProp );
  }
  else
  {
    // don't handle this feature. This might be a method or a list or a property
    // of a type not dealt with in the 'if-else' statements from above
  }
}
else
{
  // oops... The feature is not offered by this device
}
