C/C++ Syntax

Copy Code 
HRESULT get_context(
  IXMLDOMNode** 
ppNode
);
HRESULT putref_context(
  IXMLDOMNode* 
pNode
);

Remarks

C/C++ Return Values

S_OK

S_FALSE (for get_context only)

Value returned if the context is invalid.

E_INVALIDARG (for get_context only)

Value returned if the input argument is Null.

General Remarks

Because the selectNodesmethod can be called on any node type, contextcan also be assigned any node type. A node from a different document from the one that originally created IXMLDOMSelectioncan also be specified as long as it has the same threading model. Calling contextalso resets the state of the node list so that nextNodestarts over.

This property applies to the following interface:

IXMLDOMSelection.
