I recommend you assimilate the Netview Programmer's Guide. I think
you'll discover serveral solutions -- some quite painless. It's quite
trivial to simply drop in a context menu off the object that will
fire off whatever snmpset command you desire. Or you can take full
advantage of the API's and code up some nice interactive dialogs...
You could also make it event-driven if you prefer total automation.
