Appends a single node as the last child under the context element node in the tree.

Note
References to DTDs from custom XML parts are not supported. DTD references in custom XML parts will not resolve, and custom XML parts containing DTD references generate an exception when an attempt is made to save the file's content to a flat XML file.

Syntax

expression.AppendChildNode(Name, NamespaceURI, NodeType, NodeValue)

expression An expression that returns a CustomXMLNode object.

Parameters

Name Required/Optional Data Type Description
Name Optional String Represents the base name of the element to be appended.
NamespaceURI Optional String Represents the namespace of the element to be appended. This parameter is required to append nodes of type msoCustomXMLNodeElement or msoCustomXMLNodeAttribute, otherwise it is ignored.
NodeType Optional MsoCustomXMLNodeType Specifies the type of node to append. If the parameter is not specified, it is assumed to be of type msoCustomXMLNodeElement.
NodeValue Optional String Used to set the value of the appended node for those nodes that allow text. If the node doesn't allow text, the parameter is ignored.

Remarks

If the context node is any type other than msoXMLNodeElement, or if the operation would result in an invalid tree structure, the append is not performed and an error message is displayed.

Example

The following example demonstrates appending a CustomXMLNode object to another node.

Visual Basic for Applications 
Sub AppendNode() Dim cxp1 As CustomXMLPart Dim cxn As CustomXMLNode With ActiveDocument ' Add and populate a custom xml part set cxp1 = .CustomXMLParts.Add "<invoice />" ' Add a node cxp1.AddNode "/invoice", "upccode", "urn:invoice:namespace" Set cxn = cxp1.SelectSingleNode("//*[@quantity < 4]") ' Append a child node to the single node selected previously. cxn.AppendChildNode("discount", "urn:invoice:namespace", "string", "0.10") End With End Sub
