Controlling multiple sensor status changes

Controlling Kinect status changes is one of the key factors and essential for development. Initially in Chapter 3, Starting to Build Kinect Applications, we have discussed the Status property of the KinectSensor class and how we handle it using the StatusChanged event handler in the Dealing with Kinect Status section.

To quickly recall how you can handle the status change, first of all you have to first register for the StatusChanged event as shown below.

      KinectSensor.KinectSensors.StatusChanged += KinectSensors_StatusChanged;

The StatusChanged event is attached to the KinectSensor class and raised when the KinectSensor.Status property of a Kinect sensor in the collection changes.

Note

You really don't need to attach the event handler to each and every instance of the sensor, rather the KinectSensor does a global event registration of the status change event for all the connected sensors.

Finally, whenever there is an event change the event handler...
