 void SelectNodes(Microsoft::Office::Interop::InfoPath::SemiTrust::IXMLDOMNode ^ pxnStartNode, System::Object ^ varEndNode, System::Object ^ varViewContext);

abstract member SelectNodes : Microsoft.Office.Interop.InfoPath.SemiTrust.IXMLDOMNode * obj * obj -> unit

Public Sub SelectNodes (pxnStartNode As IXMLDOMNode, varEndNode As Object, varViewContext As Object)

Parameters

pxnStartNode: IXMLDOMNode

The XML DOM node that begins the range.

varEndNode: Object

The XML DOM node that ends the range. If not specified, only the starting XML DOM node will be used.

varViewContext: Object

The ID of the control that is used for the context, which is an element with the specified view context of xd:CtrlId.

Implements

SelectNodes(IXMLDOMNode, Object, Object)

Examples

In the following example, the SelectNodes method of the ViewObject object is used to set selection on a single item in the view, corresponding to the specified XML DOM node. Using the GetSelectedNodes() method of the View object, the code then determines whether the selection has been successful by displaying information about the XML DOM node in a message box. This example requires a repeating table named group1. The first occurrence is selected:

XMLNodesCollection selectedNodes;
IXMLDOMNode group1;
group1 = thisXDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode(@"//my:group1");
thisXDocument.View.<span class="label">SelectNodes</span>(group1, group1, Type.Missing);
selectedNodes = thisXDocument.View.GetSelectedNodes();
if (selectedNodes.Count &gt; 0)
{
   thisXDocument.UI.Alert(selectedNodes[0].nodeName + "\n\n" + 
      selectedNodes[0].text);
}

Remarks

If a view context is specified, all of the XML DOM nodes that are to be selected must be within that context.

If any of the arguments to the SelectNodes method are null or are not exposed in the view, the SelectNodes method will return an error. In addition, if there are more than one set of view elements which map to the same specified XML DOM nodes, within the specified view context, then the SelectNodes method will also return an error.

Note: The SelectNodes method requires that the nodes be structurally selectable in the view.
