XMLNode.NodeType property (Word)

  • Article

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 don't 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.

Sub AddIDAttribute() 
 Dim objElement As XMLNode 
 Dim objAttribute As XMLNode 
 
 For Each objElement In ActiveDocument.XMLNodes 
 If objElement.NodeType = 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
