TDOMEntity.CloneNode function
Makes a copy of the DOM node with the specified owner document.
Declaration
function CloneNode(deep: Boolean; aCloneOwner: TDOMDocument): TDOMNode
; overrideArguments
deep | True if child nodes are recursively copied in the method. |
aCloneOwner | Document which owns the clones Entity node. |
Function result
DOM node created in the method.
Description
CloneNode is an overridden
TDOMNode function in
TDOMEntity used to make a copy of the node with
ACloneOwner as the owner document for the new node. It
re-implements the method from the ancestor class.
CloneNode allocates a new TDOMEntity instance in the node pool for
ACloneOwner, and creates the DOM Entity node in the return value. Values from
the PublicID, SystemID, and NotationName
properties are copied to the new node. The internal name for the Entity (set
when the owner document was de-serialized) is also copied to the new node.
When deep is True, the CloneChildren method is called to
copy the ChildNodes (when assigned) to the new node.
CloneNode calls SetReadOnly to ensure that the new node cannot be
modified. The cloned node does not have a parent node.
