Edit XML - Define a new GenICam Feature

An example XML can be found here: /opencv_dice/src/master/smartDices/smartDices.xml

1. Add new feature to CustomControl cathegory, e.g. WhiteBalanceAuto:
   

   

2. Define new feature values:
   

   

3. Define new register address:
   

   

4. Implement processing inside void appClass:: SmartFeatureCallback ( … ) (alias GigeEventCallback) callback. Code snippet can be found in the Info toolbox at bottom left of SynView Explorer.
