Autocompletion: Attributes list

[sebastienlavandier]

Hi,
I work with the author component.

I created a button/action for add an specific attribute to a specific node.
Now, I want list all the possible "ID" (all the alredy referenced ID) in a list like It's do when I write a new attribute in text/author mode.

Could you help me ?
Thanks in advance for you r help.

Hi Sébastien,

You can run XPaths over the entire document using API like this:

ro.sync.ecss.extensions.api.AuthorDocumentController.evaluateXPath(String, boolean, boolean, boolean)

So you can run an XPath which lists all IDs in the document and then add them to a list which is presented to the user.

I can't implemented an existing action to access to the Oxygen list ?

Hi,

You could also try something like this:

Code: Select all

AuthorSchemaManager sm = authorAccess.getDocumentController().getAuthorSchemaManager();

AuthorElement currentElement = ....;

WhatPossibleValuesHasAttributeContext ctxt = sm.createWhatPossibleValuesHasAttributeContext(currentElement, "id");

List<CIValue> vals = sm.whatPossibleValuesHasAttribute(ctxt);
