| PST SDK 6.0.0.0-272350a

trackingtarget.cpp

This example can be found in `examples\cpp\trackingtarget\trackingtarget.cpp`. When the PST SDK has been installed through the PST Software Suite installer the examples can be found in the Development folder.

This example shows how to work with tracking targets using the PST SDK. Note that at this moment tracking targets can not be trained or imported using the PST SDK. In order to add new tracking targets, please use the PST Client with PSTech::pstsdk::Tracker::EnableSharedMemory(), or use the stand-alone PST Server to configure the tracking targets.

When compiling and running this example, please make sure that the required dependencies can be found by the executable (e.g. by copying the `Redist` directory into the build directory. When the PST SDK has been installed through the PST Software Suite installer the Redist folder can be found in the Development folder.). On Windows, the Visual Studio project files are configured to use a relative path to the `Redist` directory as the working directory. If the examples have been copied, please ensure the working directory is still valid.
