IXMLDOMNode::hasChildNodes Method

Returns true if this node has children.

Visual Basic Syntax

boolValue = oXMLDOMNode.hasChildNodes

C/C++ Syntax

HRESULT hasChildNodes(
    VARIANT_BOOL *hasChild);

Parameters

hasChild
[out] True is returned if this node has children.

C/C++ Return Value

S_OK
Value returned if successful.
S_FALSE
Value when VARIANT_FALSE is returned. 
E_INVALIDARG

Remarks

This method offers a fast way to determine whether a node has children. This method always returns false for nodes that, by definition, cannot have children: the IXMLDOMCDATASection, IXMLDOMComment, IXMLDOMNotation, IXMLDOMProcessingInstruction, and IXMLDOMText nodes.
