Syntax

public class PropCategory : Property, IDisposable

Remarks

The root of the tree is always the category property with the name Root.

To find which properties are linked from a category, use the Features property.

Categories can contain other categories recursively. A very simple category tree might look like this:

Root (category)
- AcquisitionControl (category)
  - AcquisitionStart (command)
  - AcquisitionStop (command)
  - AcquisitionFrameRate (float)
- ImageFormatControl (category)
  - Width (integer)
  - Height (integer)

PropCategory instances are created in multiple ways:

By directly querying a PropertyMap for a category property:
- FindCategory(string)
By casting a Property object obtained from one of the functions returning generic property objects:
