TXMLNode.SetChildValue Method

Sets the value of a specified child node.

Pascal

procedure SetChildValue(const IndexOrName: OleVariant; const Value: OleVariant);

C++

__fastcall SetChildValue(const OleVariant IndexOrName, const OleVariant Value);

Description

Use the TXMLNode object's IXMLNode interface to call the protected SetChildValue method. SetChildValue sets the value of a specified child node to a specified value.

IndexOrName identifies the desired child node by either its interface, or by a string that is the local name of the child node. If IndexOrName does not identify a child of this node, SetChildValue raises an exception.

Value is the value to assign. It's interpretation depends on the type of the child node, as indicated in the following table:

NodeType	Value
ntAttribute	The attribute value
ntElement	If the element contains only text, this is that text value. Otherwise, SetChildValue raises an exception.
ntText	The text
ntCData	The content of the CDATA section.
ntProcessingInstr	The content of the processing instruction except for the target.
ntComment	The value (text) of the comment.
If the child node is any other node type, SetChildValue raises an exception.

Note: Attributes are not considered child nodes of a node. To set the values of this node's attributes, use the SetAttribute method instead.
