Type (xsi:type)

TextNode
Inserted in Word as plain text content control, for single or multiline text input, check via regex possible

DateTimeNode
Inserts in Word as date picker content control with calendar selection and is also shown in the document parameter as such.

CheckBoxNode
Inserted in Word as a check box content control (CheckBox Content Control) and is for a yes/no selection.

ComboBoxNode
Inserted in Word as a combo box content control (Combo Box Content Control), also called a dropdown. It is for choosing between given values (any input is allowed in Word).

RadioButton
There are no RadioButton content controls in Word, that's why there is no RadioButton DataNode in OneOffixx. Instead, the TextNode or the ComboBoxNode are used as DataNode:

Definition of a RadioButton with a TextNode
Here, the RadioButton is stored in the TextNode. This option is suitable if the value is used in scripts or extended bindings. If a RadioButton is to be preselected, the Value of the corresponding RadioButton must be configured as the default text. So in the example below, the RadioButton is now preselected with "man".
<CustomDataNode xsi:type="TextNode" Id="DocParam.RBGender">1</Text>" LCID="2055">1</CustomDataNode>{:.language-xml}

Definition of a RadioButton with a ComboBoxNode
In this case, the RadioButton is stored in the ComboBoxNode element. The Value in the ComboBox must correspond to the Value in the RadioButton in the view. This option is suitable if the value is to be output in the document, since the display in the document is controlled by the Value of the ComboBoxNode entry. If a RadioButton should be preselected, the Value of the corresponding RadioButton must be configured in the SelectedValue attribute of the ComboBoxNode.
<CustomDataNode xsi:type="ComboBoxNode" Id="DocParam.RBGender" LCID="2055" SelectedValue="1">...</CustomDataNode>

How the RadioButtons are then defined in the view is described in the corresponding chapter.

LabelNode

Heading in document parameter dialog when views are not used, not suitable for use in editor, scripts and extended bindings

Id

Textual Id, which must be unique. This is displayed in editor mode and then needed for use in editor, scripts or extended bindings. The Id must not contain any spaces.
If an Id is duplicated (NOT in the view, but in the CustomDataNodes), then the documents parameter dialog can not be opened.

DateFormat

Attribute that is only allowed for DateTimeNodes; definition of the date format e. g. "dd MM yyyy" for "02.06.2016". List of date formats There are several date formats stored in the Global Translations base configuration that can be accessed.

IsNowDefault

Attribute that is only allowed for DateTimeNodes. It sets the initial date to the current date.

Calendar

Attribute which is only valid for DateTimeNodes. It sets the format of the calendar. Default is "Gregor". It is not mandatory to set this attribute.

Required

Attribute that is only allowed for TextNodes. It defines whether the field may be left empty (Required="false" or not set) or whether the field must be filled in (Required="true"). As long as the text field is not filled in, the OK button for confirming the input in the document parameter remains grayed out and unclickable. As soon as the required characters are filled in the text field, the OK button can be clicked.
The Required attribute is overridden by the validation (regex attribute) if one is set.

Regex

Attribute, which is only allowed for TextNodes. It allows to define a regex (.NET syntax) that must find at least one match in the entered text. Attention: if the whole text must match or there must be exactly one 'match', this must be defined by the regex expression.

Examples
Regex="[0-9]+" forces that at least one character of the input text must be a digit. For example, "Hello 205" is a valid input.

Regex="^[0-9]+$" forces that all characters of the input text must be digits and that at least one digit must be present. (^ matches the beginning of the input text and $ matches the end)

ValidationMessage

Attribute, which is only allowed for TextNodes. If Required="true" or a validation regex is set, ValidationMessage allows a custom error message if validation fails. It will be displayed when the mouse pointer hovers over the red exclamation mark on the right side of the text field. If ValidationMessage is not set, a default message will be displayed in case of a mismatch.

Tracked

The primedocs function Quick Check (check content controls) is activated with the 'Tracked' attribute. If the value is set to 'true', the field will be displayed to the user in the separate panel. Provided that the content of the element is empty, the field will be displayed red in the panel and green after editing.

Label

Label the element in the Quick Check panel in Word. The Tracked attribute is a prerequisite.

SelectedValue

Attribute that is only allowed for ComboBoxNodes. This attribute determines which option in the list should be selected by default.

IsChecked

Attribute which is only valid for CheckBoxNodes. This attribute determines whether the CheckBox should be checked or unchecked by default.

Locked

Has no effect. Was originally intended to prevent the content control from being deleted in Word.

ReadOnly

Has no effect. Was originally intended to prevent the content control from being edited in Word.

LCID

The LCID (locale identifiers) define the language culture of the corresponding DataNode. If the LCID is not set, the DataNode will not work. List of LCID codes

Row

Row in which the element is to be displayed in the document parameter dialog.

Column

Column in which the element is to be displayed in the document parameter dialog (starting point). There are 4 columns with the Label column.

ColumnSpan (Length)

Length respectively number of columns the element should span.

Label

Label of the element in the document parameter dialog; also applies to headings of the type LabelNode. If several elements are displayed in one line, the label of the first element is used. The label always appears in the leftmost column. If Tracked is set to true, the label also acts as the element's caption in the Quick Check panel.

Visible

If Visible is set to false, the document parameter will not be displayed in the dialog.

ToolTip (Hint)

Hint that is displayed when the user hovers over it with the mouse. Overridden by ValidationMessage if it is set.

IsInputEnabled

Attribute only allowed for elements of type CheckBoxNode. If this option is set to true, checkboxes are displayed in the document parameter dialog where the user can edit or freely select the caption.

MultiLine

Attribute only allowed for elements of type TextNode. Creates multiline text fields if set to true.

MultilineRows (Number of displayed rows for multiline)

Attribute only allowed for elements of type TextNode (incl. Multiline="true"). Defines the number of displayed rows in multiline text fields (defaults to 3).

IsSearchEnabled (Enable search for combo boxes)

Attribute only allowed for elements of type ComboBoxNode. This option determines whether keyboard input can be used to search for existing entries in the combo box.

IsEditable (Allow any input for combo box)

Attribute only allowed for elements of type ComboBoxNode. This option determines whether the user can make any input. If this attribute is not set to true the user can only choose between the existing entries.
