Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML) 5.0 for Microsoft Office - SAX2 Reference

[Visual Basic]

A corresponding startElement method is invoked for every endElement method, even when the element is empty.

Implementation Syntax

Sub endElement(strNamespaceURI As String, strLocalName As_
String, strQName As String)

Usage Syntax

oContentHandler.endElement "xsl", "stylesheet", "xsl:stylesheet"

Parameters

strNamespaceURI

The namespace URI or an empty string (if the element has no namespace URI, or if namespaces are not being processed).

strLocalName

The local name, without prefix, or an empty string (if namespace processing is not being performed).

strQName

The XML 1.0 qualified name (QName), with prefix, or an empty string (if the QName is not available).

Return Values

If failed, the ContentHandler raises a trappable error.

Example

The following example uses the endElement method to set the text property for a text box (Text1) on the main application form (Form1). The new text indicates that the reader has finished reading the current element.

Private Sub IVBSAXContentHandler_endElement(strNamespaceURI As String, _
strLocalName As String, strQName As String)
    Form1.Text1.Text = Form1.Text1.Text & "End of element: " & _
                       strQName & vbCrLf
End Sub

Remarks

This method allows up to three names for each element:

• The namespace URI.
• The local name.
• The QName, if available.

Which of these names are specified depends on the values of the "http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces" and the "http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes" features. The namespace URI and local name are required when the "http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces" feature is True (the default). These values are optional when this feature is set to False.

Note   Neither the URI nor the local name value can be specified alone. Both values are required if either is used.

The QName is required when the "http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces-prefixes feature" is set to True and is optional when this feature is set to False (the default).

[C/C++]

A corresponding startElement event occurs for every endElement event, even when the element is empty.

This event allows up to three name components for each element:

• The namespace URI.
• The local name.
• The qualified XML 1.0 name (QName), with prefix, or an empty string if the QName is not available.

Any or all of these name components may be provided, depending on the values of the "http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces" and the "http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes" features. The namespace URI and local name are required when the "http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces" feature is set to True (the default). These values are optional when this feature is set to False.

Note   Neither the URI nor the local name value can be specified alone. Both values are required if either is used.

The QName is required when the "http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces-prefixes feature" is set to True and is optional when this feature is set to False (the default).
