How to dump OPC server's address space
recursively to the console in C++
Following C++ code dumps all branches in leaves in OPC server's address space to the console, with the use of
QuickOPC-COM. It has been tested in Visual Studio 2008. Note that the code does not use any MFC or ATL.
// Dumps OPC server's address space recursively to the console.

Application Note
// If this node is a branch, dump its children recursively
if (NodeElementPtr->IsBranch)
DumpBranch(EasyDAClientPtr, NodeElementPtr->ItemId, Level + 1);
}
}
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
// Initialize the COM library
CoInitialize(NULL);
// Instatiate the EasyOPC-DA client object
IEasyDAClientPtr EasyDAClientPtr(__uuidof(EasyDAClient));
// Dump the OPC address space from the root branch
DumpBranch(EasyDAClientPtr, _T(""), 0);
// Release all interface pointers BEFORE calling CoUninitialize()
EasyDAClientPtr = NULL;
CoUninitialize();

This example has been added to QuickOPC-COM Bonus pack and will be available with its next build.
The output is indented according to the hierarchical structure of the address space. Here is how the actual output
may look like:
