• vr::TrackedDeviceIndex unDeviceIndex - Index of the device to get the property for.
• vr::TrackedDeviceProperty prop - Which property to get.
• vr::TrackedPropertyError *pError - The error returned when attempting to fetch this property. This can be NULL if the caller doesn't care about the source of a property error.
• char *pchValue - The buffer to store string properties in. unBufferSize should be the size of this buffer.
• uint32_t unBufferSize - The size of the buffer pointed to by pchValue.

Description

Returns a static property for a tracked device. The different typed GetXTrackedDeviceProperty functions return a value on failure that is generally reasonable for that type:

• GetBoolTrackedDeviceProperty - false
• GetFloatTrackedDeviceProperty - 0.0
• GetInt32TrackedDeviceProperty - 0
• GetUint64TrackedDeviceProperty - 0
• GetMatrix34TrackedDeviceProperty - identity matrix
• GetStringTrackedDeviceProperty - 0 (and 0-length string)

String Properties

Because the application owns the buffer to fill with a string property, retrieving a string property is a little different. GetStringTrackedDeviceProperty returns the number of bytes necessary to hold the string, including the trailing null. If the buffer wasn't large enough it passes back TrackedProp_StringExceedsMaximumLength as the error and doesn't fill the string into the buffer.

Strings will generally fit in buffers of k_unTrackingStringSize characters.
