Interface IAbstractContainerNode

A node in the document that can contain other nodes.

Syntax
public interface IAbstractContainerNode : INode, IAbstractNode, ITreeNode<IAbstractNode, IAbstractContainerNode>, IEnumerable<IAbstractNode>, IEnumerable
Remarks

A container node always has a start node and an end node. These cannot be deleted or moved. (Any attempt to do so will raise an exception.) Editing operations that would delete start or end nodes in the editor instead turn these into "ghost" nodes.

The container node implements the IEnumerable interface, so you can iterate over its content directly using a foreach loop.

The start and end nodes appear in the collection, and they can also be accessed directly through the StartNode and EndNode properties.

Properties

EndNode

Direct access to the node acting as the end of the container.

Declaration
IStartEndNode EndNode { get; }
Property Value
Type Description
IStartEndNode

StartNode

Direct access to the node acting as start of the container.

Declaration
IStartEndNode StartNode { get; }
Property Value
Type Description
IStartEndNode

Methods

Find(Predicate<INode>, bool)

Locate the first node that matches the predicate.

Declaration
INode Find(Predicate<INode> match, bool allSubNodes)
Parameters
Type Name Description
PredicateINode match

condition used to evaluate nodes
bool allSubNodes

if false only direct child nodes in the container are searched, if true sub-nodes of any child container are also searched
Returns
Type Description
INode

the first node that matches the predicate

FindAllNodes(Predicate<IAbstractNode>, bool)

Find all child nodes that match the specified predicate.

Declaration
List<IAbstractNode> FindAllNodes(Predicate<IAbstractNode> match, bool searchAllSubNodes)
Parameters
Type Name Description
PredicateIAbstractNode match

condition used to evaluate nodes
bool searchAllSubNodes

if false only direct child nodes in the container are searched, if true content sub-nodes of any child container are also searched
Returns
Type Description
ListIAbstractNode

A list containing all child nodes for which the predicate evaluated to true

FindContentNode(Predicate<IAbstractContentNode>, bool)

Locate the first content node that matches the predicate.

Declaration
IAbstractContentNode FindContentNode(Predicate<IAbstractContentNode> match, bool searchAllSubNodes)
Parameters
Type Name Description
PredicateIAbstractContentNode match

condition used to evaluate nodes
bool searchAllSubNodes

if false only direct child nodes in the container are searched, if true content sub-nodes of any child container are also searched
Returns
Type Description
IAbstractContentNode

the first node that matches the predicate
