        Assuming if you are asking essentialy whether you can set
attributes on a remote structure using the C pointer dereference operator.
Then you certainly can't.

        You must setup an attribute or accessor method on the remote
object, and this has to be invoked to set the remote property eg.

        Calculator__set_status (calc, "rrr", ev);

        This is with a CORBA attribute in the 'Calculator' interface.
If you have a lot of simple properties - or you just want life making
easier for you - you might consider checking out bonobo / oaf, which have
a property bag interface and helper wrappers to make setting properties   
somewhat easier.
 
        Regards,
  
                Michael.
