PowerPoint.CustomXmlPartScopedCollection class

A scoped collection of custom XML parts. A scoped collection is the result of some operation (such as filtering by namespace). A scoped collection cannot be scoped any further.

Remarks

[ API set: PowerPointApi 1.7 ]

Properties

context

The request context associated with the object. This connects the add-in's process to the Office host application's process.

items

Gets the loaded child items in this collection.

Methods

getCount()

Gets the number of custom XML parts in this collection.

getItem(id)

Gets a CustomXmlPart based on its ID.

getItemOrNullObject(id)

Gets a CustomXmlPart based on its ID. If the CustomXmlPart doesn't exist, then this method returns an object with its isNullObject property set to true. For further information, see *OrNullObject methods and properties.

getOnlyItem()

If the collection contains exactly one item, this method returns it. If the collection contains no items or more than one item, then this method returns the GeneralException error.

getOnlyItemOrNullObject()

If the collection contains exactly one item, this method returns it. Otherwise, this method returns null.

load(options)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNames)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNamesAndPaths)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

toJSON()

Overrides the JavaScript toJSON() method in order to provide more useful output when an API object is passed to JSON.stringify(). (JSON.stringify, in turn, calls the toJSON method of the object that's passed to it.) Whereas the original PowerPoint.CustomXmlPartScopedCollection object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as PowerPoint.Interfaces.CustomXmlPartScopedCollectionData) that contains an "items" array with shallow copies of any loaded properties from the collection's items.
