CustomXMLPart.AddNode method (Office)
Adds a node to the XML tree.
Syntax
expression.AddNode (Parent, Name, NamespaceURI, NextSibling, NodeType, NodeValue)
expression An expression that returns a CustomXMLPart object.
Parameters
| Name | Required/Optional | Data type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Parent | Required | CustomXMLNode | Represents the node under which this node should be added. If adding an attribute, the parameter denotes the element that the attribute should be added to. |
| Name | Optional | String | Represents the base name of the node to be added. |
| NamespaceURI | Optional | String | Represents the namespace of the element to be appended. This parameter is required to append nodes of type msoCustomXMLNodeElement or msoCustomXMLNodeAttribute; otherwise, it is ignored. |
| NextSibling | Optional | CustomXMLNode | Represents the node which should become the next sibling of the new node. If not specified, the node is added to the end of the parent node's children. This parameter is ignored for additions of type msoXMLNodeAttribute. If the node is not a child of the parent, an error is displayed. |
| NodeType | Optional | MsoCustomXMLNodeType | Specifies the type of node to append. If the parameter is not specified, it is assumed to be of type msoCustomXMLNodeElement. |
| NodeValue | Optional | String | Used to set the value of the appended node for those nodes that allow text. If the node doesn't allow text, the parameter is ignored. |
Remarks
If the AddNode operation would result in an invalid tree structure, the append is not performed and an error message is displayed.
Example
The following example demonstrates adding a node to a CustomXMLPart object.
Sub AddNodeCustomXmlParts()
Dim cxp1 As CustomXMLPart
Dim cxn As CustomXMLNode
With ActiveDocument
' Add and populate a custom xml part
Set cxp1 = .CustomXMLParts.Add("<invoice />")
' Set the parent node
Set cxn = cxp1.SelectSingleNode("/invoice")
' Add a node under the parent node
cxp1.AddNode cxn, "upccode", "urn:invoice:namespace"
End With
End Sub
