Having a problem with this code. The problem is that I have a global Group that contains an element with the same name (XYZ) as a global element (XYZ).

The problem is that the Tag-Insight does not always pick the correct child node. You'd expect that in the element 'groupContainer,' the Group's XYZ->SHouldNotAppearInPickList. would appear (ignore its name) in the choices for children of the groupContainer->XYZ node. Yet it does not.

In my real code, I'm actually getting the reverse problem. In my element which references a "UniBar" element, I'm only being offered the choices in a global group's UniBar element child, not the choices in the global element'schildren.

P.S: Your Viennese competitor does not have this problem

Here's the XSD

Code: Select all


<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" targetNamespace="grouptest" xmlns="grouptest" elementFormDefault="qualified">



   <xs:element name="XYZParent">

      <xs:complexType>

         <xs:sequence>

            <xs:element name="groupContainer">

               <xs:complexType>

                  <xs:sequence>

                     <xs:group ref="globalGroup"/>

                  </xs:sequence>

               </xs:complexType>

            </xs:element>

            <xs:element ref="XYZ" minOccurs="0"/>

         </xs:sequence>

      </xs:complexType>

   </xs:element>

   <!-- Global Types -->

   <xs:group name="globalGroup">

      <xs:sequence>

         <xs:element name="XYZ" minOccurs="0">

            <xs:complexType>

               <xs:sequence>

                  <xs:element name="ShouldNotAppearInPickList" minOccurs="0"/>

               </xs:sequence>

            </xs:complexType>

         </xs:element>

      </xs:sequence>

   </xs:group>

   <xs:element name="XYZ">

      <xs:complexType>

         <xs:sequence>

            <xs:element name="ShouldAppearInPickList" minOccurs="0"/>

         </xs:sequence>

      </xs:complexType>

   </xs:element>

</xs:schema>

And here is the using code. Delete everything and start from < to get groupContainer

Code: Select all


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<XYZParent xmlns="grouptest" elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 

   xsi:schemaLocation="grouptest ./GlobalGroups.xsd">

 <groupContainer><XYZ></XYZ></groupContainer>

   <XYZ><ShouldAppearInPickList></ShouldAppearInPickList></XYZ>



</XYZParent>

Hi,

Thanks, indeed there is a problem in determining all the possible elements defined by the schema when the new elements are defined locally different local elements having the same name. We will fix that. A workaround: if you add
<xs:element name="ShouldNotAppearInPickList"/>
to your schema then the content completion will offer the ShouldNotAppearInPickList element inside XYZParent/groupContainer/XYZ.

Best Regards,
George
