XMLNode.NodeType Property

  • Article
Word Developer Reference

Returns a WdXMLNodeType constant that represents the type of node.

Syntax

expression.NodeType

expression   An expression that returns an XMLNode object.

Remarks

An XMLNode object can be either an XML element or an attribute of an element. Use the NodeType property to determine which type of node you are working with, so that you do not attempt to perform invalid operations on the node. For example, the Attributes property applies only to element nodes, although it appears in the list of available properties for the XMLNode object.

Example

The following example adds the author attribute to the book element in the active document and then sets the value of the attribute.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Sub AddIDAttribute()
    Dim objElement As XMLNode
    Dim objAttribute As XMLNode

For Each objElement In ActiveDocument.XMLNodes
    If objElement.<strong class="bterm">NodeType</strong> = wdXMLNodeElement Then
        If objElement.BaseName = "book" Then
            
            Set objAttribute = objElement.Attributes _
                .Add("author", objElement.NamespaceURI)

            objAttribute.NodeValue = "David Barber"
            
            Exit For
        End If
    End If
Next



End Sub
