required attribute not enforced

[oaixnomis]

required attribute is not automatically added to the element, and also can be deleted after the attribute is added manually.

The same remark , i agree.

Yes, required is not currently implemented. For the most part, attributes that effect how many of an element/attribute are allowed are not implemented at present. Those features have mostly just been added when other people contribute them.

Implementing use="required" would be relatively simple compared to some of the other restrictions, it seems like it would just require updating:

SchemaProcessor.prototype.build_attribute
XMLElement.prototype.populateChildren

[superinconnu]

I changed XMLElement.prototype.populateChildren as you said but it didn't work .
I added this lines and i think the problem is due to the addAttributeEvent

for(var i = 0; i < self.objectType.attributes.length; i++){
if (self.objectType.attributes[ii].use){
var childElement = self.addAttribute(self.objectType.attributes[i]);
this.editor.activeEditor.addAttributeEvent(this, childElement); }}

I mostly implemented this. The remaining problem is that I haven’t given the Add Attribute menu button to the call to XMLElement.prototype.populateChildren (instead I temporarily modified GUIEditor.prototype.addAttributeEvent to not require it, as a hack), because I don't see how to easily fetch it. This manifests when I delete the auto-added attribute; the Add Attribute menu doesn’t immediately update appropriately (to allow you to re-add the attribute), though it does if you switch editors and then switch back.

@bbpennel, is there an easy way to get a pointer to the button labeled X in the currently-visible Add Attribute menu when the currently-selected element has X as a possible attribute?

Hi,
I'm really interested by this feature but i don't know how to implement it.
could you help me?
