Getting currently selected element of context node

[Former Member]

hi All

i hav another query for you regarding the manipulation of table.

how do v get the currentcontextelement since the node table refering to is at 3rd level e.g.

parent--

child1--

-

---

child2---

-

---

attribute1

-

---

attribute2

now way m getting current value for attribute1 is as follwos

IWDNode parent=wdContext.nodeParent.currentParentNodeElement.node();

child1=parent.getchild("child1",parent.getLeadselection());

child2=child1.getchild("child2",parent.getLeadselection());

attribute1 = child2.getCurrentElement().getAttributeAsText("attribute1");

is there any other simpler way for this????

Thanks

Hi,

You can directly get the child attribute as

wdContext.currentAttribute();

Really?

Hey All

Thanks & Regard

It depends on what you want to access. When using wdContext.current<Node>Element(), the path from the root element to the node is followed along the lead-selection of all intermediate nodes.

But sometimes you want to access for example the lead-selection in a child node whose parent element is not lead-selected. And in that case you have to do it differently.

Are any nodes in this structure non-singleton? Do you really want to access the node element of "child2" following the lead-selection-path from the root?

Hi

Following line will always return you the selected Element for the corresponding Node.

IWDNodeElement selectedElem=wdContext.current<Node Name>Element();

Hi,

You can access it using:

wdContext.nodeChild2().currentChild2Element().getattribute1();

wdContext.nodeChild2().currentChild2Element().getattribute2();

I mean to say that you can directly access the child nodes using the above code. You dont need to go from the parent node.

thanks & regards,

Hi Deepak,

Use this:

wdContext.currentChild2Element().getAttribute1();

and to get any element use this:

wdContext.nodeChild2().getChild2ElementAt(x).getAttribute1();
