IXMLDOMNamedNodeMap::removeNamedItem

The removeNamedItem method removes an attribute from the collection.

HRESULT removeNamedItem(
BSTR bstrName,
IXMLDOMNode** ppNamedItem
);

Arguments

bstrName

[in] BSTR containing the name of the attribute to remove from the collection.

ppNamedItem

[out] Pointer to a pointer to an IXMLDOMNodeIXMLDOMNode Interface that represents a node removed from the collection. The method returns NULL if the named node is not an attribute. This method calls AddRef internally. To avoid memory leaks, you must call Release when you are finished using the interface.

Return Value

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

Example

The following example uses the removeNamedItem method to remove an attribute node named "src" from the specified element node.

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

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

HRESULT              hr;
CComBSTR             bstrName;
CComVariant          varFile;

// 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);

// Create a media element.
bstrName = "media";
hr = pPlaylist->createElement(bstrName, &pXMLElement);
if (FAILED(hr)) goto EXIT;

// Set the src attribute for the media element.
bstrName = "src";
varFile = "welcome1.asf";
hr = pXMLElement->setAttribute(bstrName, varFile);
if (FAILED(hr)) goto EXIT;

// Retrieve a pointer to an IXMLDOMNamedNodeMap interface.
hr = pXMLElement->get_attributes(&pXMLNamedNodeMap);
if (FAILED(hr)) goto EXIT;

// Remove the newly created attribute.
bstrName = "src";
hr = pXMLNamedNodeMap->removeNamedItem(bstrName, &pXMLNode);
if (FAILED(hr)) goto EXIT;

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