	SetValue
Sets a components property as a string
- HANDLE	Handle
The component handle of the property owner
- STRING	Property
The textual name of the property
- STRING	Value
The value to update the property text with
- NONE	Return

Detailed description

This sets the internal value of a property, and compliments GetValue.

Note this call does not set the value the property will evaluate to, but sets the value that will be evaluated.

For example, a port connection property may be set to the string "$PORTA", but this call can not be used to change the value of a port.

When code is generated the value of the property becomes fixed for the generated code corresponding to the last call to SetValue().

Examples

Calling in a calculation

Add to a calculation icon:

::Component.Property.SetValue(handle, "property", "value")
