elements Property

Returns an ISchemaItemCollection object. This collection contains ISchemaElement objects that are top-level items. To find secondary and lower child items, you must use the ISchemaComplexType.contentModel property.

To obtain information about the elements that are returned in the collection, use the ISchemaElement interface. For more information about using elements in an XML Schema, see Declaring Elements in the XML Schema Developer's Guide.

Example

The following is an example of an element declared in an XML Schema.

<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
   <xsd:element name="Software">
      <xsd:complexType>
      <xsd:all>
         <xsd:element name="title" />
         <xsd:element name="company" />
      </xsd:all>
      </xsd:complexType>
   </xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>

The following VBScript example shows how to list the top-level <element> declarations.

Set oSchemaCache = CreateObject("Msxml2.XMLSchemaCache.5.0")
oSchemaCache.add "", "po.xsd"
Set oSchema = oSchemaCache.getSchema("")

For Each oElement in oSchema.elements
   WScript.Echo oElement.name
Next

var oElements = oISchema.elements;

Set oElements = oISchema.elements

HRESULT get_elements (ISchemaItemCollection** elements);
