IXMLDOMSelection

 

Represents the list of nodes that match a given XML Path Language (XPath) expression.

JScript Example

In the following Microsoft® JScript® example, you can simply call the IXMLDOMSelection methods on the object returned from selectNodes.

var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.6.0");  
xmlDoc.async = false;  
xmlDoc.setProperty("SelectionLanguage", "XPath");  
xmlDoc.load("books.xml");  
if (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode != 0) {  
   var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError;  
   WScript.Echo("You have error " + myErr.reason);  
} else {  
   var selection = xmlDoc.selectNodes("//book");  
   var expr = selection.expr; //This returns "//book"  
   WScript.Echo(expr);  
}  
  

Output

//book

C/C++ Example

In the following C/C++ example, IXMLDOMSelection inherits the threading model of the document that created it. IXMLDOMSelection is created through the selectNodes method on IXMLDOMDocument2.

#include “msxml6.h”  
  
#define CHECK_AND_RELEASE(pInterface)  \  
if(pInterface) \  
   {\  
pInterface->Release();\  
pInterface = NULL;\  
   }\  
  
#define RELEASE(pInterface)  \  
   {\  
pInterface->Release();\  
pInterface = NULL;\  
   }\
