Bind Features Of An Unknown Type

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

mv.impact.acquire.Device pDev = getTheDevicePointerFromSomewhere();
mv.impact.acquire.DeviceComponentLocator locator = new mv.impact.acquire.DeviceComponentLocator(pDev, TDeviceListType.dltSetting, "Base");
mv.impact.acquire.Component feature = new mv.impact.acquire.Component();
locator.bindComponent( feature, "Feature" );
// now the feature is ready to use when available:
if( feature.isValid )
{
  Console.WriteLine( "Feature {0} is a {1}", feature.name, feature.typeAsString );
  switch( feature.type )
  {
    case TComponentType.ctPropString:
      mv.impact.acquire.PropertyS stringProp = new mv.impact.acquire.PropertyS(feature.hObj);
      doStringPropAction( stringProp );
      break;
    case TComponentType.ctPropInt:
      mv.impact.acquire.PropertyI intProp = new mv.impact.acquire.PropertyI(feature.hObj);
      doIntPropAction( intProp );
      break;
    case TComponentType.ctPropInt64:
      mv.impact.acquire.PropertyI64 longProp = new mv.impact.acquire.PropertyI64(feature.hObj);
      doLongPropAction( longProp );
      break;
    case TComponentType.ctPropFloat:
      mv.impact.acquire.PropertyF floatProp = new mv.impact.acquire.PropertyF(feature.hObj);
      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
}
