Hide or lock attributes

March 12 2008

nils member 12 March, 14:14	Hi, is it possible to hide and/or lock xml attributes to prevent users from accessing and modifying them through the Status bar/Attribute menu item? I'd like to add ids to text nodes like this: ... <paragraph id="1"> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet </paragraph> ... Now the user should be able to modify the text whereas the id attribute should be non editable (and hidden if possible..). Thanks, Nils

Have a look at: http://xopus.com/Documentation/Developer%20Guide/Reference/Xopus%20API/Events.new You could use XopusBeforeNodeValueModified to check if the target is such attribute, and prevent the change using evt.cancelEvent.
