XPath editor preferences

This topic describes the possible options available to you when you use the XPath editor.

The following lists describe the custom preferences used in the XPath editor.
  • Validation option:
    Validation when building XPath expressions
    Default: checked.

    This option is used to perform validation each time you update the XPath expression. As validation requires re-parsing the expression against the XML Schema document you can turn this option off, for example, if you are dealing with very large complex XPath expressions.

  • Content Assist display options:
    Show XML Schema model groups
    Default: not checked.

    This option allows you to view XML schema model groups, or not.

    Show type in XML Schema tree
    Default: checked.

    This option allows you to view the <type name> in both the Content Assist view and the XPath expression builder, or not.

    Show function parameters
    Default: checked.

    This option allows you to have function parameters shown, or not.

    Show function return type
    Default: checked.

    This option allows you to have function return types shown, or not.

    Show content assist description
    Default: checked.

    This option allows you to view the description of a given selected entry in the Content Assist view, or not..

  • Auto-Activation option:
    Enable auto activation
    Default: checked.
    When this option is active, the Content Assist field appears whenever the cursor is after one of the following characters:
    • / - Forward slash character
    • [ - left bracket character
    • ( - Left parentheses character
    • , - Comma character

    You set the delay time, before the Content Assist field appears, in the Auto activation delay field. The time is in milliseconds and the range is a positive number between zero and 9999.

  • Content assist color options:

    This preference allows you to customize the background and foreground colors for the Content Assist fields. The default background color is (red, green, blue - 254, 241, 233) and the default foreground color is (red, green, blue - 0, 0, 0) - black.
