CogToolBase Run Method Cognex VisionPro 9.20
Runs the tool. This method is guaranteed to not throw an exception. Any exception generated in the course of running the tool will be caught and packaged in the tool's RunStatus.Exception. Should this occur, the tool's RunStatus.Result will be set to Error and its RunStatus.Message will reference the message that accompanied the exception. It is the user's responsibility to examine the tool's RunStatus after calling Run.
