Example

The following example searches through the current Web site and displays the names of all orphan files. An orphan file is denoted by its IsOrphan property. Once a file is found with an IsOrphan property that equals True, the Label property value is added to a String containing the names of all orphan nodes in the Web site. The names of the orphan files, stored in the String variable strName, are then displayed to the user. If no orphan files are found in the Web site, a message is displayed to the user.

    Sub ListOrphans()
'Displays the names of orphan files.

    Dim objApp As FrontPage.Application
    Dim objWebFile As WebFile
    Dim strName As String

    Set objApp = FrontPage.Application

    'For each file in the Web site site
    For Each objWebFile In ActiveWeb.AllFiles
    
        'Check if the file is an orpahn
        If objWebFile.IsOrphan Then
            strName = strName & objWebFile.Name & " | "
        End If
    Next

    If strName <> "" Then
       'Display names of all orphan pages
       MsgBox "The orphan pages in the current Web site are: " & vbCr & vbCr & _
              strName & "."
    Else
        'No orphans, display message
        MsgBox "There are no orphan pages in the Web site."
    End If

End Sub
