How to get a String MultiCam Parameter

The recommended MultiCam API functions to obtain the value from a string parameter are:

Function

Method

McGetParamStr

By-ident reference method

McGetParamNmStr

By-name reference method

The returned value is a string, which means that no type conversion is involved. If you use another parameter-getting API function, type conversion will be attempted.

The Status variable can be used for error checking.
