InputChannels.FindIndex Method

Public Function FindIndex(Name As String) As Long

If the property Name of an InputChannel 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 "00 Video: SVideo" channel is available:

Dim InpCol As InputChannels
Dim Index As long
Set InpCol = ICImagingControl1.InputChannels
Index = InpCol.FindIndex("00 Video: SVideo")
If Index = -1 Then
    ' input channel not available 
Else
    ' do something 
End If

Selecting devices, input channels, video norms and video formats is shown in the Making Device Settings chapter.
