Hi List!
The XML Parser Xtra converts XML-formatted text into a Lingo property list.
Now, I need to do the opposite: I have a property list and would like to
convert that into an XML text.
Should be possible to code that in Lingo, but I don't know XML very well nor
am I good in programming recursions which I think would be necessary.
Is there an Xtra or script out there that does that for me?
Thanks

Hi Michael,
While setting the #type to #field will get you a GPDL popup with all
the field members of a movie, you might need a smaller sunset of
them. This is also doable.
If you build a list of the fields that you want to use within the
GPDL, it can be used as the elements of the GPDL popup. The below
offers a list of the names of the fields that are within castLib 1 &
ignores any other fields within the movie.
If you want to limit it to a set of known members. just make a list & use that.
on getPropertyDescriptionList me
GPDLprops = [:]
-- make a list of fields
castNo = 1
castCnt = the number of members of castLib castNo
fieldNames = []
repeat with i = 1 to castCnt
if member(i, castNo).type = #field then
fieldNames.append(member(i, castNo).name)
end if
end repeat
if fieldNames <> [] then
-- if there are fields, then use the list elements in the GPDL popup
GPDLprops[#myListChoice] = [ \
#comment: "Field choices", \
#format: #string, \
#range: fieldNames, \
#default: fieldNames[1] \
]
else
-- if NOT, exit so the behavior won't get attached !! (& ALERT)
ALERT "no valid fields"
exit
end if
return GPDLprops
end getPropertyDescriptionList
