[Visual Basic]
Visual Basic Syntax
objXMLDOMNode = objXMLDOMSelection.matches(objXMLDOMNode)
Example
Dim xmlDoc As New Msxml2.DOMDocument50 Dim oSelection As IXMLDOMSelection Dim nodeBook As IXMLDOMNode Dim node As IXMLDOMNode xmlDoc.setProperty "SelectionLanguage", "XPath" xmlDoc.async = False xmlDoc.Load "books.xml" If (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode <> 0) Then Dim myErr Set myErr = xmlDoc.parseError MsgBox("You have error " & myErr.reason) Else Set nodeBook = xmlDoc.selectSingleNode("//book") Set oSelection = xmlDoc.selectNodes("//*") Set node = oSelection.matches(nodeBook) MsgBox node.xml End If
[C/C++]
C/C++ Syntax
HRESULT matches(IXMLDOMNode* pNode, IXMLDOMNode** ppNode);
Parameters
- pNode [in]
- The node that is passed in.
- ppNode [out, retval]
- The Boolean result.
C/C++ Return Values
- S_OK
- The value returned if method successful.
- E_INVALIDARG
- The value returned if the
pNode
parameter is Null.An error for cases that are not allowed, as outlined in the Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) specification (applied to ID, IDREF, and Ancestor).
Remarks
When matches
is called with node A, it returns node B such that if B was set as the context on a query, A is in the result set of the query. If no such B node is found, matches
returns Null.
The matches
method does not take into account the current context of the query.
