- [AddChild Method](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/xmlelement/addchild-method/llms.txt): Adds an XMLElement as a sub-element at the position the DTD gives, optionally before or after a child; returns 0 on error, 1 if invalid, 2 on success.
- [AutoSelect Property](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/xmlelement/autoselect-property/llms.txt): Determines whether the text of a newly added XML element is selected automatically; the Boolean AutoSelect property is True by default. Run time only.
- [AutoText Property](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/xmlelement/autotext-property/llms.txt): Determines whether a new XML element without text gets its name in square brackets as text; the Boolean AutoText property is True by default. Run time only.
- [ChildItem Method](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/xmlelement/childitem-method/llms.txt): Returns the child XMLElement with the given element name, with an optional Index for elements with several sub-elements of that name, and a Basic example.
- [ElementName Property](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/xmlelement/elementname-property/llms.txt): Returns or sets the name of an XMLElement as a String; the name can only be changed for newly created elements, not for elements of an XML document.
