  • Article

Syntax

expression An expression that returns a CustomXMLNode object.

Parameters

Name Required/Optional Data type Description
XML Required String Represents the subtree to be added.

Example

The following example selects a custom part and then a node in that part. The code then replaces a child subtree of that node with another subtree.

Dim cxp1 As CustomXMLPart 
Dim cxn As CustomXMLNode 
 
With ActiveDocument 
 
    ' Return the first custom xml part with the given root namespace. 
    Set cxp1 = .CustomXMLParts("urn:invoice:namespace")     '  
         
    ' Get node using XPath expression.                              
    Set cxn = cxp1.SelectSingleNode("//*[@supplierID = 1]")  
 
    ' Replace one subtree and its children with another. 
   cxn.ReplaceChildSubtree("<rebates><rebate>0.10</rebate></rebates>", "//discounts")   
                 
 End With
