TIEDicomTags.SetTagString

Declaration

procedure SetTagString(Group, Element: Word; const Value: String; ReplaceIfExist: Boolean = True);

Description

Adds or replaces a string tag.
If the tag does not exist, it will be added. If the tag already exists it will be overwritten if ReplaceIfExist is true, or a second instance of the tag added if ReplaceIfExist = False.
Supported tag types: dvCS, dvAS, dvAE, dvDA, dvDS, dvDT, dvIS, dvLO, dvLT, dvPN, dvSH, dvST, dvTM, dvUI, dvUT

Note:
◼ An exception is raised if the tag does not support a string value
◼ Unicode values with non-ASCII character sets can be specified for strings, but CharacterSet must be "ISO_IR 192"

Example

// Add a "Patient Name" tag to the current Dicom file (or replace tag if it already exists)
ImageEnView1.IO.Params.DICOM_Tags.SetTagString( $0010, $0010, 'Joe Bloggs' );

// Add a Unicode tag
ImageEnView1.IO.Params.DICOM_Tags.CharacterSet := 'ISO_IR 192';
ImageEnView1.IO.Params.DICOM_Tags.SetTagString( $0010, $0010, ...Unicode String... );
