	)

Remove the expression string, leaving the value of the parm at the current value of the expression.

Note: Regardless of the value, when calling this function on a parameter, if that parameter has a callback function attached to it, that callback function will be called. For example, if the parameter is a button the button will be pressed.; In threaded mode, this is an async call!

This API will invoke the cooking thread if threading is enabled. This means it will return immediately. Use the status and cooking count APIs under DIAGNOSTICS to get a sense of the progress. All other API calls will block until the cook operation has finished.

Also note that the cook result won't be of type HAPI_STATUS_CALL_RESULT like all calls (including this one). Whenever the threading cook is done it will fill the cook result which is queried using HAPI_STATUS_COOK_RESULT.

		const char *	value,
		HAPI_ParmId	parm_id,
		int	index
	)

Set (push) an expression string. We can only set a single value at a time because we want to avoid fixed size string buffers.

Note: Regardless of the value, when calling this function on a parameter, if that parameter has a callback function attached to it, that callback function will be called. For example, if the parameter is a button the button will be pressed.; In threaded mode, this is an async call!

This API will invoke the cooking thread if threading is enabled. This means it will return immediately. Use the status and cooking count APIs under DIAGNOSTICS to get a sense of the progress. All other API calls will block until the cook operation has finished.

Also note that the cook result won't be of type HAPI_STATUS_CALL_RESULT like all calls (including this one). Whenever the threading cook is done it will fill the cook result which is queried using HAPI_STATUS_COOK_RESULT.

Parameters

[in]	session	The session of Houdini you are interacting with. See HAPI_Sessions for more on sessions. Pass NULL to just use the default in-process session.
[in]	node_id	The node id.
