Examples

The following code example uses the Creator property to display a message indicating whether an XMLNode control was created in Microsoft Office Word. This example assumes that the current document contains an XMLNode named CustomerNode.

private void DisplayCreator()
{
    if (this.CustomerNode.Creator == (int)Word.WdConstants.wdCreatorCode)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(this.CustomerNode.BaseName +
            " element was created in Microsoft Office Word.");
    }
    else
    {
        MessageBox.Show(this.CustomerNode.BaseName +
            " element was not created in Microsoft Office Word.");
    }
}

Private Sub DisplayCreator()
    If Me.CustomerNode.Creator = Word.WdConstants.wdCreatorCode Then
        MsgBox(Me.CustomerNode.BaseName & _
            " element was created in Microsoft Office Word.")
    Else
        MsgBox(Me.CustomerNode.BaseName & _
            " element was not created in Microsoft Office Word.")
    End If
End Sub

Remarks

Because the XMLNode control was created in Microsoft Office Word, this property returns the hexadecimal number 4D535744, which represents the string "MSWD." This value can also be represented by the constant wdCreatorCode.
