Events

  Name Description
Public event AfterInsert Occurs when the user adds a new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.XMLNode to the collection or to one of its descendents.
Public event BeforeDelete Occurs when the user deletes a Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.XMLNode or descendent node from the collection, before the control is deleted.
Public event ContextEnter Occurs when the cursor is placed inside one of the nodes or descendant nodes of the XMLNodes collection, from an area outside of the context of the node.
Public event ContextLeave Occurs when the cursor is moved from one of the nodes or descendant nodes of the XMLNodes collection, to an area outside of the context of the original node.
Public event Deselect Occurs when the cursor is moved out of one of the nodes of the XMLNodes collection.
Public event Select Occurs when the cursor is placed inside one of the nodes of the XMLNodes collection.
Public event ValidationError Occurs when there is a validation error in the XMLNodes control.

Remarks

The XMLNodes control represents a collection of XML elements with the same name. When you map elements that the schema allows to appear more than once onto a Microsoft Office Word document at design time, Visual Studio creates XMLNodes for the elements. A schema can allow an element to appear more than once when the maxOccurs attribute of the element or the element's ancestors is set to > 1.

If the schema sets the maxOccurs attribute for the element and its ancestors to 1, Visual Studio creates an XMLNode control instead.

XMLNodes controls can be created only in Word document-level projects at design time. They cannot be created at run time or in application-level projects. For more information, see XMLNodes Control and How to: Add XMLNodes Controls to Word Documents.

Note

This interface is implemented by the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime. It is not intended to be implemented in your code. For more information, see Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime Overview.

Usage
