XMLNode.ValidationStatus Property (Word)
Returns a WdXMLValidationStatus constant that represents whether an element or attribute is valid according to the attached schema.
Syntax
expression .ValidationStatus
expression Required. A variable that represents a XMLNode object.
Remarks
This property can return either of the two following WdXMLValidationStatus constants.
wdXMLValidationStatusCustom |
Indicates that the SetValidationError method was used to set ValidationErrorText property to a custom text string. |
wdXMLValidationStatusOK |
Indicates an XML element or attribute is valid according to the attached schema. |
While these are the only two named constants the ValidationStatus property allows, there are many more unnamed values that come from the MSXML 5.0 component included with Microsoft Word. For a more complete list of possible values and their corresponding meaning, refer to the Microsoft Word XML schema reference on the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) Web site.
Example
The following example checks each element in the active document and displays a message containing the elements that do not validate according to the schema and a description of why.
Dim objNode As XMLNode
Dim strValid As String
For Each objNode In ActiveDocument.XMLNodes
objNode.Validate
If objNode.ValidationStatus <> wdXMLValidationStatusOK Then
strValid = strValid & objNode.BaseName & vbTab & _
objNode.ValidationErrorText & vbCrLf
End If
Next
MsgBox "The following elements do not validate against " & _
"the schema." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & strValid & vbCrLf & _
"You should fix these elements before continuing."
