Details

dispSetParmByName permanently modifies the default parameter values specified by parmname on the specified context. If the parameter is a single field, only that value is updated. If the field name is missing, this function updates the entire parameter structure with the defaults contained in buffer. It is assumed that size matches exactly for either case.

Note: This function should be used very carefully since it modifies the per-context values without the knowledge of the application. It is typically the application's responsibility to maintain and modify parameter values.
