ignorableWhitespace Method

[Visual Basic]

You can manually call the ignorableWhitespace method to pass white space characters such as space, carriage return (CR), tab, or line feed (LF) to the internal buffer of the MXXMLWriter object.

Implementation Syntax

Sub ignorableWhitespace(strChars As String)

Usage Syntax

Dim stringOfXml As String
stringOfXml = xmlDoc.xml
oContentHandler.ignorableWhitespace stringOfXml

Parameters

strChars

The character data.

Return Values

If failed, the ContentHandler raises a trappable error.

Example

The following example shows how to manually call the ignorableWhitespace method. This method finds ignorable white space characters in character data and replaces them with two characters of white space. In this case, the tab character is replaced.

Private Sub IVBSAXContentHandler_characters(strChars As String)
    If strChars Like vbTab Or strChars Like "*[vbTab]*" Then
       Call IVBSAXContentHandler_ignorableWhitespace(strChars)
    End If
    strChars = Replace(strChars, vbLf, vbCrLf)
    Form1.TextBox1.Text = Form1.TextBox1.Text & strChars
End Sub

Private Sub IVBSAXContentHandler_ignorableWhitespace(strChars As String)
   strChars = Replace(strChars, vbTab, "  ")
End Sub
