==Detailed description==
This call steps through all the children of the component and sets the property specified in each to the given value. It is useful for updating a property in all the children of a group, for example.


Note this does not step through the children of compiled components, only those 'owned' by the ''Parent''.


==Examples==
===Calling in a calculation===
* Add to a calculation icon: <pre class="brush:[cpp]">::Component.Property.SetChildValues(parent, "property", "value")</pre>
