startMode Property
Returns the base name part of the start mode, a qualified name.
Script Syntax
objXSLProcessor.startMode(mode);
Example
var xslt = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XSLTemplate.3.0");
var xslDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument.3.0");
var xslProc;
xslDoc.async = false;
xslDoc.load("sample2.xsl");
xslt.stylesheet = xslDoc;
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.3.0");
xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.load("books.xml");
if (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode != 0) {
var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError;
WScript.Echo("You have error " + myErr.reason);
} else {
xslProc = xslt.createProcessor();
xslProc.input = xmlDoc;
xslProc.setStartMode("view");
WScript.Echo(xslProc.startMode);
}
Visual Basic Syntax
objXSLProcessor.startMode
(mode)
Resource File
The JScript example uses the following file.
Sample2.xsl
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="html"/>
<xsl:param name="param1"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
Hello
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/" mode="edit">
In Edit Mode
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/" mode="view">
In View Mode
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
C/C++ Syntax
HRESULT startMode(BSTR mode);
Parameters
mode[in]
The desired mode as a string. It must be the base name part of the qualified name.
C/C++ Return Values
E_FAIL
The value returned if readyState is READYSTATE_INTERACTIVE.
E_INVALIDARG
The value returned if the mode base name contains a colon character or is an invalid name.
Remarks
The default value of startMode is the empty string, "".
By default, the starting mode for a new XSLT stylesheet is NULL and the startMode property returns the empty string ("") as its initial value. However, a user can use this property to read or change this value, which is the base name portion of a QName, so that it will work in connection with the mode attribute of xsl:template instructions. All templates with the same mode are grouped together. The xsl:apply-templates instruction also has a mode attribute that allows it to match and apply only those templates with the same mode.
