setStartMode Method

Performs subsets of larger XSL Transformations (XSLT) by selecting the XSLT mode with which to start. This minimizes the amount of XSLT processing.

The default value of the start mode is the empty string, "".

Example

var xslt = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XSLTemplate.5.0");
var xslDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument.5.0");
var xslProc;
xslDoc.async = false;
xslDoc.load("sample2.xsl");
xslt.stylesheet = xslDoc;
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.5.0");
xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.load("books.xml");
xslProc = xslt.createProcessor();
xslProc.input = xmlDoc;
xslProc.setStartMode("view");
xslProc.transform();
alert(xslProc.output);

File Name: Sample2.xsl

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
   <xsl:output method="html"/>
   <xsl:param name="param1"/>
  <xsl:template match="/">
      Hello
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="/" mode="edit">
      In Edit Mode
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="/" mode="view">
      In View Mode
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
[Script]

Script Syntax

objXSLProcessor.setStartMode(mode, namespaceURI);

Parameters

mode
The desired mode as a string. It must be the base name part of the qualified name.
namespaceURI (optional)
The full namespace URI to fully qualify the start mode name.
[Visual Basic]

Visual Basic Syntax

objXSLProcessor.setStartMode(mode, namespaceURI)

Parameters

mode
The desired mode as a string. It must be the base name part of the qualified name.
namespaceURI (optional)
The full namespace URI to fully qualify the start mode name.

Example

Dim xslt As New Msxml2.XSLTemplate50
Dim xslDoc As New Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument50
Dim xmlDoc As New Msxml2.DOMDocument50
Dim xslProc As IXSLProcessor
xslDoc.async = False
xslDoc.Load "sample2.xsl"
If (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode <> 0) Then
   Dim myErr
   Set myErr = xmlDoc.parseError
   MsgBox("You have error " & myErr.reason)
Else
   Set xslt.stylesheet = xslDoc

   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 xslProc = xslt.createProcessor()
      xslProc.input = xmlDoc
      xslProc.setStartMode "view"

      xslProc.Transform
      MsgBox xslProc.output
   End If
End If

File Name: Sample2.xsl

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
   <xsl:output method="html"/>
   <xsl:param name="param1"/>
  <xsl:template match="/">
      Hello
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="/" mode="edit">

  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
[C/C++]

C/C++ Syntax

HRESULT setStartMode(BSTR mode, BSTR namespaceURI);

Parameters

mode [in]
The desired mode as a string. It must be the base name part of the qualified name.
namespaceURI [in, optional]
The full namespace URI to fully qualify the start mode name.

C/C++ Return Values

S_OK
Success
E_FAIL
The value returned if the value of the readyState property is READYSTATE_INTERACTIVE.
E_INVALIDARG
The value returned if the mode base name contains a colon character or is an invalid name.

Remarks

Using setStartMode is essentially the same as an XSLT style sheet that starts with the following rule.

<xsl:template match="/">
   <xsl:apply-templates select="*" mode="{mode}"/>
</xsl:template>
