# SetTableCellVal

int SetTableCellVal (int panelHandle, int controlID, Point cell, ...);

## Purpose

Sets the value of a table control cell to the specified value.

| Note This function updates the displayed value immediately. Use SetTableCellAttribute with ATTR_CTRL_VAL to set the control value without immediately updating the displayed value. Because of the difference in behavior, SetTableCellAttribute with ATTR_CTRL_VAL is generally faster than SetTableCellVal. However, if the table control in which you set the cell value is the active control in the panel, SetTableCellAttribute with ATTR_CTRL_VAL displays the value immediately.

## Parameters

Input
Name | Type | Description
panelHandle | integer | Specifier for a particular panel that is currently in memory. You obtain this handle from LoadPanel, NewPanel, or DuplicatePanel.
controlID | integer | The defined constant, located in the .uir header file, that you assigned to the control in the User Interface Editor, or the ID returned by NewCtrl or DuplicateCtrl.
cell | Point | A Point structure specifying the cell for which you want to set the value. The Point structure is defined as follows: typedef struct { int x; int y; } Point; Pass the one-based column index of the cell in the x field of the structure, and the one-based row index of the cell in the y field of the structure. You can create a Point without having to declare a variable by using the following function: Point MakePoint (int x, int y); Example SetTableCellVal (panelHandle, controlID, MakePoint (2, 3), value);
value | any type (passed by value) | The new value of the cell. The value that this function expects depends on the cell type of the specified cell. If the cell type is VAL_CELL_PICTURE, the function expects an ID of the bitmap containing the new image. The ID must be a value obtained from NewBitmapEx, GetBitmapFromFile, GetCtrlBitmap, ClipboardGetBitmap, GetCtrlDisplayBitmap, GetPanelDisplayBitmap, GetScaledPanelDisplayBitmap, GetScaledCtrlDisplayBitmap, or DuplicateBitmap. A value of 0 indicates that there is no image. You can use this to delete an existing image. If the cell type is VAL_CELL_STRING, VAL_CELL_RING, VAL_CELL_COMBO_BOX, or VAL_CELL_BUTTON, the function expects a NUL-terminated string. If the cell type is VAL_CELL_RING it will remain unchanged unless the value you specify matches an existing value in the cell's value list. If the cell type is VAL_CELL_NUMERIC, the function expects a number of a data type matching the data type of the cell.

## Return Value

Name | Type | Description
status | integer | Return value indicating whether the function was successful. A negative number indicates that an error occurred.
Code | Error Message String
xx | Success
