Do not know how to loop through this xml file

No, that's not going to work when you have the uitleg's as text inside the ifelse stuff.

That's why you need to go to something like I wrote in post #2 in this thread for them.

Again, the big question: *DO* you ever have *nested* <ifelse> blocks???

That is, would you ever have something like this:

Code:

<wizard wizardid="Workflow1">
    <uitleg id="Uitleg2">Uitleg</uitleg>
    <uitleg id="Uitleg1">Uitleg</uitleg>
    <ifelse id="IfElseActivity1">
        IfElseActivity
        <ifelsebranch id="IfElseBranchActivity1">
            IfElseBranchActivity
            <uitleg id="Uitleg3">Uitleg</uitleg>
            <ifelse id="NestedIfElse1">
                <ifelsebranch id="NestedIEBa">
                    nested if else branch a
                    <uitleg id="xxx">stuff</uitleg>
                </ifelsebranch>
                <ifelsebranch id="NestedIEBb">
                    nested if else branch b
                    <uitleg id="yyy">stuff</uitleg>
                </ifelsebranch>
            </ifelse>
        </ifelsebranch>
        <ifelsebranch id="IfElseBranchActivity2">
            IfElseBranchActivity
            <uitleg id="Uitleg4">Uitleg</uitleg>
        </ifelsebranch>
    </ifelse>
</wizard>

If not, I'd keep it pretty simple and avoid using recursion. If so, you have to be more careful.

Indeed, I do have nested ifelse

Ok, I changed the xml file like in your example (took me some time

).
Now I try to process the xml but I don't get it. At this moment I just try to read the xml and write it to the page.

I try to achieve the following result:

Code:

<uitleg>
Uitleg2
Uitleg
</uitleg>
and so on...

This is just text written to the page. But I can't find out how to read the end tag "</uitleg>"

            textList(UBound(textList) = ... remember this formfield ...
      case "IfElseActivity"
            Do create dropdownbox
      case "IfElseBranchActivity"
            Do create option in dropdownbox
      case "</IfElseActivity"  
            generate the </select>
            For i = 1 To UBound(textList) 
                Create a text box from textList(i)
            Next
    end select
 
End Sub

???

By putting the textList in the sub and making it a local variable, you can even handle nesting, base on other tags.

If a one-dimensional array is too simplistic, make it a 2D array. Or a 1D array of instances of a VBS class.

Meanwhile, try to figure this out. But what is textList filled with?

Can someone please help me out?

hacking_mike · April 17th, 2010, 02:27 AM

I tried a few thing but can't figure it out. Can someone put me in a direction?

hacking_mike · April 21st, 2010, 08:07 AM

Is there anybody out there to help me out?
