public:
bool SetValue(
DicomElement^ element,
Object^ value
)
element
An item in the Data Set.
value
An Object that can be any supported type, or an array of any supported type.
true if the object value was set successfully. false if could not set the object value of the Data Element.
Note: The user is responsible to allocate the memory for value. This is very flexible function that can be used to set the value of almost any DICOM data element, regardless of the DicomVRType The Object can be any of the following:
This example shows how to set the value of various DICOM elements, regardless of the regardless of the DicomVRType or the multiplicity.
