CMarkup Methods

This is the master list of CMarkup class methods. The CMarkup methods are based on the original EDOM design. The shaded methods are only available in the Developer Version of CMarkup.

Initialization

Load Populates the CMarkup object from a file and parses it
SetDoc Populates the CMarkup object from a string and parses it

Output

Save Writes the document to file
GetDoc Returns the whole document as a markup string
GetDocFormatted Returns the formatted markup string of the whole document

File mode

Open Opens file, initiating file mode for read or write (and append is a special case of write mode)
Close Closes file and ends file mode
Flush For file write mode, this flushes any partial document in memory (up to the closing tags) and the file stream itself

Changing the current position

FindElem Locates next element, optionally matching tag name or path
FindChildElem Locates next child element matching tag name or path
FindPrevElem Locates previous element, optionally matching tag name
FindPrevChildElem Locates previous child element, optionally matching tag name
FindNode Locates next node, optionally matching node type(s)
IntoElem Go "into" current main position element such that it becomes the current parent position
OutOfElem Makes the current parent position into the current main position
ResetPos Resets the current position to the start of the document
ResetMainPos Resets the current main position to before the first sibling
ResetChildPos Resets the current child position to before the first child

Adding to the Document

AddElem Adds an element after the current main position element or last sibling
InsertElem Inserts an element before the current main position element or first sibling
AddChildElem Adds an element after the current child position element or last child
InsertChildElem Inserts an element before the current child position element or first child
AddSubDoc Adds a subdocument after the current main position element or last sibling
InsertSubDoc Inserts a subdocument before the current main position element or first sibling
AddChildSubDoc Adds a subdocument after the current child position element or last child
InsertChildSubDoc Inserts a subdocument before the current child position element or first child
AddNode Adds a node after the current node or at the end of the parent element content
InsertNode inserts a node before the current node or at the beginning of the parent element content

Removing from the Document

RemoveElem Removes the current main position element including child elements
RemoveChildElem Removes the current child position element including its child elements
RemoveNode Removes the current node
RemoveAttrib Removes the specified attribute from the current main position element
RemoveChildAttrib Removes the specified attribute from the current child position element

GetChildSubDoc Returns the subdocument markup string of the current child position element including child elements
GetAttrib Returns the string value of the specified attribute of the main position element (or processing instruction)
GetChildAttrib Returns the string value of the specified attribute of the child position element
HasAttrib Returns true if the specified attribute exists in the main position element (or processing instruction)
HasChildAttrib Returns true if the specified attribute exists in the child position element
GetTagName Returns the tag name of the main position element (or processing instruction)
GetChildTagName Returns the tag name of the child position element
FindGetData Locates the next element matching the specified path and returns the string value

Setting Values

SetData Sets the value of the current main position element or node
SetChildData Sets the value of the current child position element
SetElemContent Sets the markup content of the current main position element
SetAttrib Sets the value of the specified attribute of the current main position element (or processing instruction)

Other Info

GetAttribName Returns the name of attribute specified by number for the current main position element
GetNodeType Returns the node type of the current node

Remembering positions

SavePos Saves the current position with an optional string name using a hash map
RestorePos Goes to the position saved with SavePos
SetMapSize Sets the size of a map for use with the SavePos and RestorePos methods
GetElemIndex Returns the integer index of the current main position element
GotoElemIndex Sets the current main position element to that of the given integer index
GetChildElemIndex Returns the integer index of the current child position element
GotoChildElemIndex Sets the current child position element to that of the given integer index
GetParentElemIndex Returns the integer index of the current parent position element
GotoParentElemIndex Sets the current parent position element to that of the given integer index
GetElemPath Returns a string representing the absolute path of the main position element
GetChildElemPath Returns a string representing the absolute path of the child position element
GetParentElemPath Returns a string representing the absolute path of the parent position element
