' This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

' First build a sample (but incomplete) GovTalkMessage.
' You can replace this code with a call to LoadXml or LoadXmlFile..
' 
' Note: The online tool at https://tools.chilkat.io/xmlCreate.cshtml
' can be used to generate XML code that creates a given XML document.
' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Xml")
set xml = CreateObject("Chilkat.Xml")
xml.Tag = "GovTalkMessage"
success = xml.AddAttribute("xmlns","http://www.govtalk.gov.uk/CM/envelope")
success = xml.UpdateAttrAt("Body|Message",1,"xmlns","urn:g3.ge:dea:call:SendDocument:v1")
xml.UpdateChildContent "Body|Message","................"

' This is the XML created:
' <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
' <GovTalkMessage xmlns="http://www.govtalk.gov.uk/CM/envelope">
'     <Body>
'         <Message xmlns="urn:g3.ge:dea:call:SendDocument:v1">................</Message>
'     </Body>
' </GovTalkMessage>
