Hi James Its pretty straightforward really. Import the MSXML type library into your project and do something like the following
function GetRootNode(AText : String) : IXMLDOMNode; var Document : IXMLDOMDocument; begin Document := CoDOMDocument.Create; Document.LoadXML(AText); Result := Document.ParentNode; end; You need to make sure you call CoInitialize() for each thread that creates the XML COM server object. I usually use Excel/Word VBA to view the properties/methods of the XML objects, rather than looking through the type library.
