selectSingleNode Method

  • Article

Applies the specified pattern-matching operation to this node's context and returns the first matching node.

var objXMLDOMNode = oXMLDOMNode.selectSingleNode(queryString);

HRESULT selectSingleNode(
  BSTR queryString,
  IXMLDOMNode** resultNode
);

General Remarks

This method is only valid if the XML Query Language (XQL) feature has been included in the OS. If a call to this method is made and XQL is not supported, an error message will be returned.

The selectSingleNode method is similar to the selectNodes method, but returns only the first matching node rather than the list of all matching nodes.

This member is an extension of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Document Object Model (DOM).

IXMLDOMAttribute, IXMLDOMCDATASection, IXMLDOMCharacterData, IXMLDOMComment, DOMDocument, IXMLDOMDocumentFragment, IXMLDOMDocumentType, IXMLDOMElement, IXMLDOMEntity, IXMLDOMEntityReference, IXMLDOMNode, IXMLDOMNotation, IXMLDOMProcessingInstruction, IXMLDOMText, and IXTLRuntime.
