getType Method1
Finds an attribute by index and returns the attribute's type, as declared in the document type definition (DTD) or schema. If there is no DTD or schema or the schema does not map directly to a DTD attribute type, the return value is "CDATA". For ambiguous names, the type from the first namespace is returned.
Visual Basic Implementation Syntax
Function getType(ByVal nIndex As Long) As String
Visual Basic Usage Syntax
StrVal = oIVBSAXAttributes.getType
(nIndex)
Parameters
nIndex
The attribute's index value.
Return Values
If the type is unknown, returns "CDATA".
If failed, raises a trappable error.
C/C++ Syntax
HRESULT getType(
[in] int nIndex,
[out] const wchar_t ** ppwchType
[out] int * pcchType);
Parameters
nIndex[in]
The attribute's index value.
ppwchType[out]
The returned type of the attribute. ppwchType should not be modified or deleted, because this can cause undefined behavior in the SAX parser. If you want to preserve the value that was returned in ppwchType, you should make a deep copy.
pcchType[out]
The length of the returned type attribute string.
Return Values
S_OK
The value returned if the attribute type is returned successfully.
E_INVALIDARG
The value returned for an invalid index or if no matching attribute is found.
E_FAIL
The value returned if an internal error occurs.
Remarks
The returned attribute type can be (but is not limited to) one of the following: CDATA, ID, IDREF, IDREFS, NMTOKEN, NMTOKENS, ENTITY, ENTITIES.
Versioning
Implemented in: MSXML 3.0 and later
