Examples

The following code example demonstrates event handlers for the AfterInsert and BeforeDelete events. The code displays a message box before an XMLNode is deleted from the document and after an XMLNode is added to the document. The example also uses the RemoveChild method to delete a node and programmatically raise the BeforeDelete event. This example assumes that the current document contains an XMLNode named CustomerNode that contains a child node named CustomerDateNode.

private void XMLNodeInsertAndDelete()
{
    this.CustomerDateNode.AfterInsert +=
        new Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.NodeInsertAndDeleteEventHandler(
        XMLNode_AfterInsert);

    this.CustomerDateNode.BeforeDelete +=
        new Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.NodeInsertAndDeleteEventHandler(
        XMLNode_BeforeDelete);

    this.CustomerNode.RemoveChild(this.CustomerDateNode.InnerObject);
}

void XMLNode_BeforeDelete(object sender, 
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.NodeInsertAndDeleteEventArgs e)
{
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.XMLNode tempNode =
        (Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.XMLNode)sender;

    if (e.InUndoRedo)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(tempNode.BaseName + " element is about to be " +
            "deleted as a result of an undo or redo operation.");
    }
    else
    {
        MessageBox.Show(tempNode.BaseName + " element is about to be " +
            "deleted.");
    }
}


void XMLNode_AfterInsert(object sender,
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.NodeInsertAndDeleteEventArgs e)
{
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.XMLNode tempNode =
        (Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.XMLNode)sender;

    if (e.InUndoRedo)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(tempNode.BaseName + " element was " +
            "inserted as a result of an undo or redo operation.");
    }
    else
    {
        MessageBox.Show(tempNode.BaseName + " element was inserted.");
    }
}

Private Sub XMLNodeInsertAndDelete()
    Me.CustomerNode.RemoveChild(Me.CustomerDateNode.InnerObject)
End Sub

Private Sub XMLNode_BeforeDelete(ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.NodeInsertAndDeleteEventArgs) _
