Hi,

I'm a bit confused about the nodes. I had it before with another xml but now I don't have a clue. Example:

<t>
<field>ABBREVIATION.CODE</field>
<desc>
<p>This is the Abbreviation code by which the original text can be identified. </p>
<p>This field is used to specify the Abbreviation which will generate the ORIGINAL TEXT specified in Field ORIGINAL.TEXT. </p>
<p>Validation Rules</p>
<p>2-35 type SS (uppercase alpha or numeric, first character alpha) characters. No comma will be allowed in the Abbreviation text.</p>
</desc>
</t>

<t> is populated several times with different fields and descriptions. If I get to field, I want to get the related description by using ANode.Parent.GetNextSibling(ANode). It's getting only nil. Also ANode.Parent.FindNode('desc') gets nil.

So I looked in debugger and ANOde.Parent.NodeCount is equal to 1. Meaning, <t> has only one node.... ???

Any idea ?

Ok, this happens only for OnNodeLoaded event. Apparently the other child nodes are not read at this stage, so parent has just 1 child node. Most likely it would work the other way round, starting from desc as the last child. It definitely works ok with reading the nodes after loading them.

I dont know the exact code you wrote, but if we look at:



..then <t> should have NodeCount=2, since it has 2 subnodes: field and desc, not counting any sub-sub nodes.

I am not sure why you use Node.Parent.NodeCount and/or where you use it. The parent of <t> itself could very well have NodeCount=1. So maybe you dont have <field> as node but perhaps <t> ?

Kind regards, Nils

Oops sorry, saw that you already found the solution
