HRESULT CA_PropertySetV (CAObjHandle objectHandle, ERRORINFO *errorInfo, int propertyID, unsigned int propertyType, va_list propertyValue_va_list);
Purpose
![]() |
Note This function has been superseded by CA_PropertySetVEx. The new function takes an additional parameter for interface id. Calling this function is equivalent to passing 0 for the interfaceId parameter. |
Sets the value of the property of an ActiveX server object. Unlike CA_PropertySet, CA_PropertySetV accepts the property value as the single element in a variable argument list.
![]() |
Note This function is used by the functions generated by the ActiveX Controller Wizard. It is not intended to be used directly. |

propertyType | unsigned int | Data type of the property. If property type is VARIANT, you can pass any type including VARIANT.

Name | Type | Description |
errorInfo | ERRORINFO | When the ActiveX server method invoked by this function fails with the error code DISP_E_EXCEPTION, descriptive information about the error code is stored in this parameter. The descriptive information includes the error code, source, and description. The information also can include a help file and help file context. When the ActiveX server method invoked by this function fails with the error codes DISP_E_PARAMNOTFOUND, DISP_E_TYPEMISMATCH, or E_INVALIDARG, the parameter position of the invalid argument can be stored in the errorParamPos member of this parameter. This parameter can be NULL. |
Return Value
Name | Type | Description |
status | HRESULT | A value indicating whether an error occurred. Function failure is indicated by a negative error code. Error codes are defined in CVIversion\include\cviauto.h and <Program Files>\National Instruments\Shared\MSDTRedistributables\SDKHeaderFiles\8.1\winerror.h. You can use CA_GetAutomationErrorString to get the description of an error code or CA_DisplayErrorInfo to display the description of the error code. If the error code is DISP_E_EXCEPTION (0x80020009 or -2147352567), then the errorInfo parameter contains additional error information. You can use CA_DisplayErrorInfo to display the error information. |
