CObList::SetAt

void SetAt( POSITION pos, CObject* newElement );

Parameters

pos

The POSITION of the element to be set.

newElement

The CObject pointer to be written to the list.

Remarks

A variable of type POSITION is a key for the list. It is not the same as an index, and you cannot operate on a POSITION value yourself. SetAt writes the CObject pointer to the specified position in the list.

You must ensure that your POSITION value represents a valid position in the list. If it is invalid, then the Debug version of the Microsoft Foundation Class Library asserts.

Example

   CObList list;
   CObject* pa;
   POSITION pos;
   
   list.AddHead( new CAge( 21 ) );
   list.AddHead( new CAge( 40 ) ); // List now contains (40, 21).
   if( ( pos = list.GetTailPosition()) != NULL )
   {
       pa = list.GetAt( pos ); // Save the old pointer for 
                             //deletion.
       list.SetAt( pos, new CAge( 65 ) );  // Replace the tail 
                                         //element.
       delete pa;  // Deletion avoids memory leak.
   }
#ifdef _DEBUG
   afxDump.SetDepth( 1 );
   afxDump << "SetAt example: " << &list << "\n";
#endif

The results from this program are as follows:

SetAt example: A CObList with 2 elements
    a CAge at $4D98 40
    a CAge at $4DB8 65
