startDocument Method

[Visual Basic]

The startDocument method is invoked before any other methods in the IVBSAXContentHandler interface or in the IVBSAXDTDHandler interface. Only the documentLocator property is invoked before the startDocument method.

Implementation Syntax

Sub startDocument()

Usage Syntax

oContentHandler.startDocument

If failed, the ContentHandler raises a trappable error.

Private Sub IVBSAXContentHandler_startDocument()
    Form1.Text1.Text = "Starting document." & vbCrLf
End Sub
