How do i get a simple list of how many cameras are currently available? The only response I've seen so far is to "guess with random ID values." This is not good coding practice. The other answers seem to say that only earlier versions supported this. I also see a 3 year old open ticket to add this feature. I am using Visual Studio 2012 with C++. Thank you, Chris
