How to assign values to custom fields in Activity programatically?

I don't have problems to create Activity with API. But i don't find the way to assign values to values in custom field of  Activity.

I don't know if the correct way is investigate CRM_Core_BAO_CustomValueTable
Code: [Select]
CRM_Core_BAO_CustomValueTable::store($params['custom'], 'civicrm_activity', $result->id);(in civicrm 4.2 CRM/Activity/BAO/Activity.php line 555).
And generate var $params.

Thanks for any reply.

I'm not against the wiki or book, but for this type of thing I tend to lean towards the unit tests as a good source:
http://svn.civicrm.org/civicrm/trunk/tests/phpunit/api/v3

Both links are good. Also, adding onto demeritcowboy's link, we now have a fancier way for linking to code, e.g.

https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/blob/4.3.beta5/tests/phpunit/api/v3/ActivityTest.php#L505

The example is a little verbose (but hopefully obvious) -- instead of saying 'custom_' . $ids['custom_field_id'] one would usually just say 'custom_123'

I try to use the API with "entity" directly with ajax/doc, but I don't advance too much.

I don't know about folder with examples, test/phpunit/api, lot of thanks. This saves me too much time. :)
