|
Component # |

0 to (max-1), where max is from GetNumComponents. |

Value string |

Replacement value for this component. |
|
Return Value |
Description |
|---|---|
|
0 |
Returned if the value could not be changed. For example, perhaps the input integer is less than 0 or greater than the number of components in the field. If the number of components in the field is 0, then it is a special case, and SetValue will be used. |
|
1 |
Returned if the input integer is within the range of components in the field (between 0 and the max number of components). If the original value and the new value exactly match (meaning the data did not change), then the return value will still be 1. |
