My answers will be about XMLmind v4. XMLmind v3 is no longer supported (v3 and v4 are internally too different for a small company like us to support both versions.) > > I have two questions: > > 1.

See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/faq.html#display_exception_in_console Note that all the code related to redraw has been rewritten is v4. Therefore may be you would have no problem in v4. > What means "redraw" for XMLMind? [1] If the document contains inclusions (that is, for a modular document), this command replaces the included nodes by possibly more up-to-date versions (useful when a document ``module'' has been modified outside XMLmind XML Editor). [2] After that, this command rebuilds the view of the document, that is, it re-creates all the graphical gadgets used to render a document on screen. As of XMLmind XML Editor v4, explicit redraw is rarely needed as inclusions are automatically updated each time a document module is saved.

The function you are missing has been implemented in XMLmind XML Editor several years ago. It corresponds to menu item "Select|Find Element" (shortcut is Esc G).
