I was wondering how could I update the data on the DOM for a certain attribute? I've searched but I couldn't find anything. Basically, I have an attribute called Hour(for example it's "11:03") and I want the text from that specific attribute to be changed to something like "11:04" or any other different text.
if( strcmp(Code1,Code2) == 0 )
{
strcpy(New,NewHour);
Element->FindAttribute("Hour")->SetAttribute(New); // here I want it to be changed in the DOM but I dont know how to do it
}
Later edit: This is what I've tried, but it's telling me FindAttribute() is private..
It is true that you can use SetAttribute
which accepts the attribute name and value as parameters.
However, TinyXml2 does have a methodology for using FindAttribute
because I have this code in my application:
// We need to get the assistant
const XMLAttribute *pAttrAssistant = const_cast<const XMLElement*>(pStudent)->FindAttribute("Assistant");
if (pAttrAssistant != nullptr)
{
LPCTSTR szAssistant = CA2CT(pAttrAssistant->Value(), CP_UTF8);
SetStudentInfo(eSchool, eAssign, strStudent, szAssistant, iStudyPoint);
}
else
{
// TODO: Throw exception if Assistant attribute missing
}
As you can see, I use the FindAttribute
method and I have no compilation errors. If you look closely you will see that I am using const
and that is the key.
The class exposes two methods:
One of them is set to private
as you have already found out. But the const
overload is set as public
