getItem(id)
Gets a custom XML part based on its ID.
getItem(id: string): Excel.CustomXmlPart;Parameters
- id
-
string
ID of the object to be retrieved.
Returns
Remarks
getItemOrNullObject(id)
Gets a custom XML part based on its ID. If the CustomXmlPart does not exist, then this method returns an object with its isNullObject property set to true. For further information, see *OrNullObject methods and properties.
getItemOrNullObject(id: string): Excel.CustomXmlPart;Parameters
- id
-
string
ID of the object to be retrieved.
Returns

getOnlyItemOrNullObject(): Excel.CustomXmlPart;Returns
Remarks
load(options)
Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.
load(options?: Excel.Interfaces.CustomXmlPartScopedCollectionLoadOptions & Excel.Interfaces.CollectionLoadOptions): Excel.CustomXmlPartScopedCollection;Parameters
- options
-
Excel.Interfaces.CustomXmlPartScopedCollectionLoadOptions & Excel.Interfaces.CollectionLoadOptions
Provides options for which properties of the object to load.
Returns
load(propertyNames)
Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.
load(propertyNames?: string | string[]): Excel.CustomXmlPartScopedCollection;Parameters
- propertyNames
-
string | string[]
A comma-delimited string or an array of strings that specify the properties to load.
Returns
load(propertyNamesAndPaths)
Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.
load(propertyNamesAndPaths?: OfficeExtension.LoadOption): Excel.CustomXmlPartScopedCollection;Parameters
- propertyNamesAndPaths
- OfficeExtension.LoadOption
propertyNamesAndPaths.select is a comma-delimited string that specifies the properties to load, and propertyNamesAndPaths.expand is a comma-delimited string that specifies the navigation properties to load.
Returns
toJSON()
Overrides the JavaScript toJSON() method in order to provide more useful output when an API object is passed to JSON.stringify(). (JSON.stringify, in turn, calls the toJSON method of the object that is passed to it.) Whereas the original Excel.CustomXmlPartScopedCollection object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as Excel.Interfaces.CustomXmlPartScopedCollectionData) that contains an "items" array with shallow copies of any loaded properties from the collection's items.
toJSON(): Excel.Interfaces.CustomXmlPartScopedCollectionData;Returns
