set_value_str


Description:

public bool set_value_str (DataHandler dh, string value) throws Error

Same functionality as set_value except that it uses a string representation of the value to set, which will be converted into a GValue first (using default data handler if dh is null).

Note1: if value is null or is the "NULL" string, then this's value is set to null. Note2: if this can't accept the value value, then this method returns FALSE, and this will be left in an invalid state.

Parameters:

this

a Holder object

dh

a DataHandler to use, or null

value

a value to set the holder to, as a string

Returns:

TRUE if value has been set
