Detailed Documentation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Base class for Notification EventTypes. All event categories inherit from this class.

The :ref:`BaseEventType <doxid-class_p1_1_1_camera_sdk_1_1_base_event_type>` is implemented as an *Enumeration Class*, as described here: `https://t.ly/KUa3 <https://t.ly/KUa3>`__ (or Google "microsoft enumeration classes")

This concept is that instead of using a tranditional enum, we can get better compile time type cheking of the enum values, by implementing them as subclasses of a base class. (Each enum value is a specific subclass.)

This allows us to do better compile time checks of which enum values are provided to functions as arguments. As an additional feature each value has human readable string representation.
