IXMLDOMNode::hasChildNodes

The hasChildNodes method retrieves a Boolean value indicating whether this node has children.

Syntax

  HRESULT hasChildNodes(
 VARIANT_BOOL* varHasChild
);

Parameters

varHasChild

[out] Pointer to a VARIANT_BOOL. Retrieves value that indicates whether this node has children.

Return Values

If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an HRESULT error code.

Remarks

This method receives a value of true if this node has children, and false if it does not.

Example Code

The following example checks a node to determine whether it has any child nodes.

#include "wmsserver.h"
#include <atlbase.h> // Includes CComVariant and CComBSTR.

// Declare variables.
IWMSServer*         pServer;
IXMLDOMDocument*    pPlaylist;
IXMLDOMElement*     pXMLElement;
IXMLDOMNode*        pXMLNode;

HRESULT             hr;
CComVariant         varFile;
VARIANT_BOOL        bIsSuccessful;
VARIANT_BOOL        bHasChildren;

// Initialize the COM library and retrieve a pointer
// to an IWMSServer interface.
hr = CoInitialize(NULL);
hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_WMSServer, NULL, CLSCTX_ALL, 
       IID_IWMSServer, (void**)&pServer);
if (FAILED(hr)) goto EXIT;

// Create the playlist object.
hr = pServer->CreatePlaylist(&pPlaylist);

// Load a sample playlist file.
varFile = "c:\\wmpub\\wmroot\\simple.wsx";
hr = pPlaylist->load(varFile, &bIsSuccessful);
if (FAILED(hr)) goto EXIT;

if (bIsSuccessful)
{
    // Retrieve a pointer to an IXMLDOMElement interface.
    hr = pPlaylist->get_documentElement(&pXMLElement);
    if (FAILED(hr)) goto EXIT;

    // Retrieve the first child node from the document.
    hr = pXMLElement->get_firstChild(&pXMLNode);
    if (FAILED(hr)) goto EXIT;

    // Retrieve a Boolean value indicating whether
    // this node has child nodes attached to it.
    hr = pXMLNode->hasChildNodes(&bHasChildren);
    if (FAILED(hr)) goto EXIT;
}

EXIT:
    // TODO: Release temporary COM objects and uninitialize COM.
