Hi...
Is there a possibility to find objects by type in coffee (11.5) ?

Doc->FindObjects("Name") doesnt help at all, bc i cant be sure of the cameras name.

the SDK says that there can be given a Marker instead of the Name
but I cant find Examples of this. I guess a Marker is not an Object Type anyway.

so is there a possibility to get a list of all cameras, without crawling through the full object list?

and add something more...
what i effectively need is to find a tag (which is only on cameras)
but i guess there is no possibility to find coffee tags with certain names directly
my way would be to find all the cameras, and then to crawl through their tags

Hi,

There's several examples of finding things (including tags) by type, name, etc. in this:

Yes, you have to iterate through the full hierachy to filter objects, tags etc.

Can't test that code yet, I'm not at home. But it should work.
(of course cameraID is not a already given variable)
