LDicomDS::SetBinaryValue

#include "Ltdic.h"

L_BOOL LDicomDS::SetBinaryValue(pElement, pValue, nLength)

pDICOMELEMENT pElement;	/* pointer to a DICOMELEMENT structure */
L_VOID * pValue;	/* pointer to a buffer */
L_UINT32 nLength;	/* length of the buffer */

Sets the binary value of an element.

Parameter	Description
pElement	Pointer to a DICOMELEMENT structure within the Data Set.
pValue	Buffer that contains the binary value to set.
nLength	Length, in bytes, of the buffer you allocated.

Returns

TRUE	The binary value of the Data Element was set successfully.
FALSE	Could not set the binary value of the Data Element.

Comments

This function overwrites the value of the Data Element. The Value Length of the Data Element is then equal to nLength.
