IXMLDOMDocument::createTextNode Method

Creates a text node that contains the supplied data.

Visual Basic Syntax

Set objXMLDOMText = oXMLDOMDocument.createTextNode(data)

C/C++ Syntax

HRESULT createTextNode(
    BSTR data,
    IXMLDOMText **text);

Parameters

data [in]
Value to be supplied to the new text object's nodeValue property.
text [out]
Address of the new XMLDOMText object.

C/C++ Return Values

S_OK
Value returned if successful.
E_INVALIDARG
Value returned if text is Null.
E_FAIL
Value returned if an error occurs.

Remarks

Creating a text node with this method is the same as using createNode, where the type parameter value is NODE_TEXT. You cannot specify a namespace with the createTextNode method.

Although this method creates the new object in the context of this document, it does not automatically add the new object to the document tree. In other words, although the ownerDocument property of the new node points to this document object, the parentNode property is set to Null. You must explicitly call one of the node insert methods—insertBefore, replaceChild, or appendChild—to add the new object.

The new object's nodeType property has the value NODE_TEXT.
