IDebugProperty3::SetValueAsStringWithError

Sets the value of this property and returns an error message, if necessary.

HRESULT SetValueAsStringWithError(
   LPCOLESTR pszValue,
   DWORD     dwRadix,
   DWORD     dwTimeout,
   BSTR*     errorString
);

int SetValueAsStringWithError(
   string     pszValue,
   uint       dwRadix,
   uint       dwTimeout,
   out string errorString
);

Parameters

• pszValue
  [in] Value to set.

• dwRadix
  [in] The radix of the value being set.

• dwTimeout
  [in] The length of time to wait for the value to be set (INFINITE means wait forever).

• errorString
  [out] If there was an error setting the value, this holds the reason for the failure.

Return Value

If successful, returns S_OK; otherwise, returns an error code.

Remarks

The incoming value could be an expression to be evaluated.

Example

The following example shows how to implement this method for a CProperty object that exposes the IDebugProperty3 interface.

    DWORD in_RADIX,
    DWORD in_TIMEOUT,
