Devices.FindIndex Method

Public Function FindIndex(Name As String) As Long

If the property Name of a Device object is equal to the given string, the FindIndex method returns the index of this object in the collection. If the string is not found, the FindIndex method returns -1.

This Basic example tests whether the device "Video to 1394 Converter" is available:

Dim DevCol As Devices
Dim Index As long
Set DevCol = ICImagingControl1.Devices
Index = DevCol.FindIndex("Video to 1394 Converter")
If Index = -1 Then
    ' device not available 
Else
    ' do something 
End If
