ICDeviceMBS.requestSendMessage(messageCode as UInt32, data as MemoryBlock, maxReturnedDataSize as UInt64)

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Image Capture	MBS AVFoundation Plugin	14.3	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	❌ No	Desktop only

This method asynchronously sends an arbitrary message with optional data to a device.

This method allows developers to send a private message from a client application to a device module. This method is the functional equivalent of calling ICAObjectSendMessage() found in ImageCapture.framework, which has been deprecated in Mac OS X 10.6. The response to this command will be delivered using deviceDidSendMessage event.
The content of error returned should be examined to determine if the request completed successfully.
NOTE: This method SHOULD NOT BE USED to send PTP pass-through commands to a PTP camera. Please refer to requestSendPTPCommand defined in ICCameraDeviceMBS for sending PTP pass-through commands.

ICDeviceMBS.requestYield

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Image Capture	MBS AVFoundation Plugin	14.3	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	❌ No	Desktop only

This message requests the device module in control of this device to yield control.

This message should be used only if the client is planning on communiting with the device directly. The device module may not yield control of the device if it has an open session.
