Given that Visual Studio.NET provides this functionality and is not even a dedicated XML editing tool I'm sure dedicated XML tools like XML Spy also have this ability. -----Original Message----- From: Bawcom, Aaron [mailto:aaron_bawcom@i...] Sent: Sat 2/8/2003 1:26 PM To: 'Thomas B.

My query was regarding exactly "how" that process is achaieved. This is the special sauce that sets them apart. I use both XML Spy and Stylus Studio and I don't see the featureset I am looking for in either product. Yes you can validate against a Schema but I don't see where you can dynamically presenting the options that are available at a particular node. -----Original Message----- From: Thomas B.

Of course, the UI does not work exactly as you have described, but the result is pretty similar. And there are others.
