[oXygen-user] Combo box in Author Mode

[Sorin Ristache]

The type of schema is not important. It can be a DTD, an XML Schema, a 
RELAX NG schema, etc. A combo box cannot be displayed in Author mode in 
the edited XML document. For inserting a value from a list of allowed 
values this list must be declared in the schema and the content 
completion popup invoked by Ctrl+space or Enter will display only the 
values from this list.

If the list of allowed values is associated with an attribute in the 
schema the Attributes view displays a combo box with the list of values 
but that is available only in the Attributes view, not in the editor 
area. When the Attributes view is closed the value selected in the combo 
box is inserted in the editor area.
