Please note a GUI can become very complicated... I ended up using a separate
xml file to store GUI info, because if you start using xsl an xsd looks more
daunting. I use the xsd for things set by vb and an xml ref file for things
set by xsl.
You can load the xsd as a DOMDocument.
After writing the code below I realised you can actually select the
attributes directly using selectSingleNod e, which is what I now do for most
things. Selecting attributes directly means that instead of @name and @ref
you can just use @*="mynodename" .

Set m_XSD = m_XSDs.getSchem a(vbNullString)

.validateOnPars e = False

news:88******** *************** ***@posting.goo gle.com...
I have some information embedded in included schemas which I want to
access at run-time for the purposes of contructing a GUI (they will
support field labels and tool tips).
The options seem to be to store them as documentation/appinfo elements
within the included schema or as unhandled attributes.
Because the schemas are included it seems the items would have to be
accessed via the SOM (as opposed to retrieving the details via XPATH)
but I can't see anyway how to do this. I think unhandled attributes
means having to use SAX but I can't see how.
Can anyone help.
