Hello,

What is CompactMode ?
Why do i need this ?

i will only read a small xml file (LoadFromFile) and retrive Name with
PX_String( &px, "Name", strName, "");
But i don't get Name.
After i set CompactMode="1" , it work.
Why is this so ?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<FB Name="AND" Comment="Some Comment" Revision="1.0" FolderPos="1" >
    <Outputs>
       <Out Name="OUT" DataType="bool" Initialized="true"/>
   </Outputs>
</FB>

Sorry, but can you be a bit more precise?

How can I read the compact name tag?

And what if I have multiple compact tags? And mixing?

Is there a simple way to enable ompact mode without CompactMode attribute ?

Jimmy

Now i do this
class CXTPPropExchangeXMLNodeEx : public CXTPPropExchangeXMLNode
{
public:
    CXTPPropExchangeXMLNodeEx(BOOL bLoading, CXTPDOMNodePtr xmlParentNode, LPCTSTR lpszSection)
        : CXTPPropExchangeXMLNode(bLoading, xmlParentNode, lpszSection)
    {
    }

    bool DeleteAttr(LPCTSTR lpszEntry)
    {
        USES_CONVERSION;
        CXTPDOMNodePtr xmlNodeEntryPtr;

        XTPXML::IXMLDOMNamedNodeMapPtr map;
        m_xmlSectionNode->get_attributes(&map);
        HRESULT hr = map->removeNamedItem(CT2BSTR(lpszEntry), &xmlNodeEntryPtr);
        if (FAILED(hr))
            return false;
        return true;
    }
    virtual BOOL OnBeforeExchange()
    {
        BOOL bOk = __super::OnBeforeExchange();
        SetCompactMode(TRUE);
        return bOk;
    }
};

Hi,

i think, if compacteMode is enabled, you can
access with
PX_String( &px, "AttrName", strName, "");a attribute entry and
with
PX_String( &px, "", strName, ""); you can access the normal text
<Input AttrName="AttributeValue">Normal Text</Input>

But what if Compact mode is NOT enabled, how do I access the attributes?

I guess that this is the most normal case for external XML files, since the Compact attribute/tag is something invented by CodeJock?

Is this implemented in v17.3?

Can I access compact attributes and nodes in CXTPPropExchangeXMLNode?

Maybe something like this:

<item tag="Hi">
CodeJock
</item>

CString sText1;
PX_String(&sec, _T("item/tag"), sText1);
CString sText2;
PX_String(&sec, _T("item"), sText2);

sText1 + " " +sText2 = "Hi CodeJock"

OK, I got a little wiser. The m_bCompactMode flag is set after the first initialize, e.g. the first time a PX_String is called. So, If someone loads an external XML which requires compact mode for reading, it is not enough to specify px.SetCompactMode(TRUE) after px.LoadFromFile(xmlfile), since this flag is reset by the first PX_String or alike. This is because CompactMode is a value set in the XML by CJ, and not as such a flag you can specify on load. So the trick is to do a dummy PX_String and thereafter set px.SetCompactMode(TRUE), to read the content of an external XML which is formatted with a mix of both attributes and nodes.
