Selects a single node from a collection matching an XPath expression. This method differs from the CustomXMLPart.SelectSingleNode method in that the XPath expression will be evaluated starting with the 'expression' node as the context node.
Syntax
expression.SelectSingleNode(XPath)
expression An expression that returns a CustomXMLNode object.
Parameters
| Name | Required/Optional | Data type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| XPath | Required | String | Contains an XPath expression. |
Return value
CustomXMLNode
Remarks
The prefix mappings for the XPath expression are retrieved from the NamespaceManager property.
Example
The following example demonstrates adding a custom XML part, selecting a part with a namespace URI, and then selecting a node within that part that matches an XPath expression.
Dim cxp1 As CustomXMLPart
Dim cxn As CustomXMLNode
' Add a custom xml part.
ActiveDocument.CustomXMLParts.Add "<supplier>"
' Return the first custom xml part with the given namespace.
Set cxp1 = ActiveDocument.CustomXMLParts("urn:invoice:namespace")
' Get a node using XPath.
Set cxn = cxp1(1).SelectSingleNode("//*[@supplierID = 1]")
