## NodeType enum Specifies the type of a Word document node. ```cpp enum class NodeType ``` ### Values | Name | Value | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | Any | 0 | Indicates all node types. Allows to select all children. | | Document | 1 | A [Document](../document/) object that, as the root of the document tree, provides access to the entire Word document. A [Document](../document/) node can have [Section](../section/) nodes. | | Section | 2 | A [Section](../section/) object that corresponds to one section in a Word document. A [Section](../section/) node can have [Body](../body/) and [HeaderFooter](../headerfooter/) nodes. | | Body | 3 | A [Body](../body/) object that contains the main text of a section (main text story). A [Body](../body/) node can have [Paragraph](../paragraph/) and [Table](../../aspose.words.tables/table/) nodes. | | HeaderFooter | 4 | A [HeaderFooter](../headerfooter/) object that contains text of a particular header or footer inside a section. A [HeaderFooter](../headerfooter/) node can have [Paragraph](../paragraph/) and [Table](../../aspose.words.tables/table/) nodes. | | Table | 5 | A [Table](../../aspose.words.tables/table/) object that represents a table in a Word document. A [Table](../../aspose.words.tables/table/) node can have [Row](../../aspose.words.tables/row/) nodes. | | Row | 6 | A row of a table. A [Row](../../aspose.words.tables/row/) node can have [Cell](../../aspose.words.tables/cell/) nodes. | | Cell | 7 | A cell of a table row. A [Cell](../../aspose.words.tables/cell/) node can have [Paragraph](../paragraph/) and [Table](../../aspose.words.tables/table/) nodes. | | Paragraph | 8 | A paragraph of text. A [Paragraph](../paragraph/) node is a container for inline level elements [Run](../run/), [FieldStart](../../aspose.words.fields/fieldstart/), [FieldSeparator](../../aspose.words.fields/fieldseparator/), [FieldEnd](../../aspose.words.fields/fieldend/), [FormField](../../aspose.words.fields/formfield/), [Shape](../../aspose.words.drawing/shape/), [GroupShape](../../aspose.words.drawing/groupshape/), [Footnote](../../aspose.words.notes/footnote/), [Comment](../comment/), [SpecialChar](../specialchar/), as well as [BookmarkStart](../bookmarkstart/) and [BookmarkEnd](../bookmarkend/). | | BookmarkStart | 9 | A beginning of a bookmark marker. | | BookmarkEnd | 10 | An end of a bookmark marker. | | EditableRangeStart | 11 | A beginning of an editable range. | | EditableRangeEnd | 12 | An end of an editable range. | | MoveFromRangeStart | 13 | A beginning of an MoveFrom range. | | MoveFromRangeEnd | 14 | An end of an MoveFrom range. | | MoveToRangeStart | 15 | A beginning of an MoveTo range. | | MoveToRangeEnd | 16 | An end of an MoveTo range. | | GroupShape | 17 | A group of shapes, images, OLE objects or other group shapes. A [GroupShape](../../aspose.words.drawing/groupshape/) node can contain other [Shape](../../aspose.words.drawing/shape/) and [GroupShape](../../aspose.words.drawing/groupshape/) nodes. | | Shape | 18 | A drawing object, such as an OfficeArt shape, image or an OLE object. A [Shape](../../aspose.words.drawing/shape/) node can contain [Paragraph](../paragraph/) and [Table](../../aspose.words.tables/table/) nodes. | | Comment | 19 | A comment in a Word document. A [Comment](../comment/) node can have [Paragraph](../paragraph/) and [Table](../../aspose.words.tables/table/) nodes. | | Footnote | 20 | A footnote or endnote in a Word document. A [Footnote](../../aspose.words.notes/footnote/) node can have [Paragraph](../paragraph/) and [Table](../../aspose.words.tables/table/) nodes. | | Run | 21 | A run of text. | | FieldStart | 22 | A special character that designates the start of a Word field. | | FieldSeparator | 23 | A special character that separates the field code from the field result. | | FieldEnd | 24 | A special character that designates the end of a Word field. | | FormField | 25 | A form field. | | SpecialChar | 26 | A special character that is not one of the more specific special character types. | | SmartTag | 27 | A smart tag around one or more inline structures (runs, images, fields,etc.) within a paragraph. | | StructuredDocumentTag | 28 | Allows to define customer-specific information and its means of presentation. | | StructuredDocumentTagRangeStart | 29 | A start of **ranged** structured document tag which accepts multi-sections content. | | StructuredDocumentTagRangeEnd | 30 | A end of **ranged** structured document tag which accepts multi-sections content. | | GlossaryDocument | 31 | A glossary document within the main document. | | BuildingBlock | 32 | A building block within a glossary document (e.g. glossary document entry). | | CommentRangeStart | 33 | A marker node that represents the start of a commented range. | | CommentRangeEnd | 34 | A marker node that represents the end of a commented range. | | OfficeMath | 35 | An Office [Math](../../aspose.words.math/) object. Can be equation, function, matrix or one of other mathematical objects. Can be a collection of mathematical object and also can contain some non-mathematical objects such as runs of text. | | SubDocument | 36 | A subdocument node which is a link to another document. | | System | 37 | Reserved for internal use by [Aspose.Words](../). | | Null | 38 | Reserved for internal use by [Aspose.Words](../). | ## Examples Shows how to traverse through a composite node's collection of child nodes. ```cpp auto doc = System::MakeObject(); // Add two runs and one shape as child nodes to the first paragraph of this document. auto paragraph = System::ExplicitCast(doc->GetChild(NodeType::Paragraph, 0, true)); paragraph->AppendChild>(System::MakeObject(doc, u"Hello world! ")); auto shape = System::MakeObject(doc, ShapeType::Rectangle); shape->set_Width(200); shape->set_Height(200); // Note that the 'CustomNodeId' is not saved to an output file and exists only during the node lifetime. shape->set_CustomNodeId(100); shape->set_WrapType(WrapType::Inline); paragraph->AppendChild>(shape); paragraph->AppendChild>(System::MakeObject(doc, u"Hello again!")); // Iterate through the paragraph's collection of immediate children, // and print any runs or shapes that we find within. System::SharedPtr children = paragraph->GetChildNodes(NodeType::Any, false); ASSERT_EQ(3, paragraph->GetChildNodes(NodeType::Any, false)->get_Count()); for (auto&& child : System::IterateOver(children)) { switch (child->get_NodeType()) { case NodeType::Run: std::cout << "Run contents:" << std::endl; std::cout << System::String::Format(u"\t\"{0}\"", child->GetText().Trim()) << std::endl; break; case NodeType::Shape: { auto childShape = System::ExplicitCast(child); std::cout << "Shape:" << std::endl; std::cout << System::String::Format(u"\t{0}, {1}x{2}", childShape->get_ShapeType(), childShape->get_Width(), childShape->get_Height()) << std::endl; ASSERT_EQ(100, shape->get_CustomNodeId()); break; } default: break; } } ``` ## See Also * Namespace [Aspose::Words](../) * Library [Aspose.Words for C++](../../)
