SetFileTag Method

Attaches a raw file tag with binary data to the specified vault item.

Syntax

int SetFileTag(const QString& qsFileName, int iTagId, const QByteArray& qbaData);

Remarks

This method attaches a raw file tag with binary data to the vault item (file, directory, or alternate stream) specified by FileName using the specified TagId. If a raw file tag with the specified TagId is already attached to the specified vault item, it is replaced.

The value passed for FileName must be a vault-local absolute path. The value passed for TagId must be in the range 0x0001 to 0xCFFF (inclusive).

The Data parameter specifies the raw binary data to store in the file tag; it may be up to 65531 bytes in length.

Please refer to the File Tags topic for more information.

Note: This method can only be called when Active is true, and cannot be called within events.

Error Handling

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)
