今天在官方提供的例子上看到这东西,贴出来。
从employeesE4X.xml这个文件中,查询部门接点为finance的部门,然后显示在List控件中。

先看看这个xml文档。

 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<employees>
    <employee dept="sales">
      <id>1</id>
      <firstName>Bob</firstName>
      <lastName>Smith</lastName>
      <officePhone ext="143">(415)555-1111</officePhone>
     </employee>
    <employee dept="research">
      <id>2</id>
      <firstName>John</firstName>
      <lastName>Doe</lastName>
      <officePhone ext="243">(408)555-2222</officePhone>
     </employee>
    <employee dept="finance">
      <id>3</id>
      <firstName>John</firstName>
      <lastName>Smith</lastName>
      <officePhone ext="002">(408)324-6432</officePhone>
    </employee>
    <employee dept="sales">
      <id>4</id>
      <firstName>Jane</firstName>
      <lastName>Riley</lastName>
      <officePhone ext="211">(415)123-1234</officePhone>
    </employee>
    <employee dept="finance">
      <id>5</id>
      <firstName>Arthur</firstName>
      <lastName>Dent</lastName>
      <officePhone ext="014">(415)555-1212</officePhone>
    </employee>
    <employee dept="sales">
      <id>6</id>
      <firstName>Bruce</firstName>
      <lastName>Chizen</lastName>
      <officePhone ext="051">(408)234-1253</officePhone>
    </employee>
 </employees>

再看看具体是如何操作的。重点是searchQuery这个查询方法。
