C# using Unity trying to detect if the Leap Device is connected

[user_226717]

I am new to C# so that is the real issue, but I have managed to develop a Game and am presently working on the short list. Of which I need to detect if the device is connected or not here is the code I wrote:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using Leap;

public class detectLeapDevicIsPlugedIn : MonoBehaviour {

Controller checkLeapController;
public bool statusDevice;

void Start () {

	checkLeapController = new Controller();
	statusDevice=checkLeapController.IsConnected();	
	Debug.Log("Have Device Status");

}


void Update () {


}

void OnGUI(){

// PLACE HOLDERS FOR CODE
// LEAP DEVICE NOT CONNECTED......
// QUIT

}

}

The above code gives me the following message:

The member `Leap.Controller.IsConnected' cannot be used as method or delegate

Could any one out there with a c# back ground help me with this or point me in the right direction. I don't mind researching it but after five hours I am going too at least have to ask for help. Thank you all......

I found error of my ways, so for any one who has this issue here is the code:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using Leap;

public class detectLeapDevicIsPlugedIn : MonoBehaviour {

static Controller checkLeapController = new Controller();

void Start (){


}

void Update () {

	if(!checkLeapController.IsConnected){
		Debug.Log("is Not connected");
	} else{
		Debug.Log("is connected");	
	}
}


void OnGUI (){


}

}

I know this topic was posted 4 years ago, but found it randomly while searching for a method to check if leap is enabled or not.
The problem with your error "Leap.Controller.IsConnected' cannot be used as method or delegate" is, that you are trying to call
checkLeapController.IsConnected();
which is not a method you can call. As in your second post, you have to access the value without the brackets ():
checkLeapController.IsConnected
