Simple Type Dialog Box
See Also
You use the Simple Type dialog box to define a simpleType component in an XML schema file. A simpleType component specifies information and constraints about the values of attributes or text-only components.
The Simple Type dialog box opens when you add a new simpleType component. You can also open the Simple Type dialog box by right-clicking a simpleType node and choosing Customize from the pop-up menu.
- The title of the dialog box changes depending on the type of action you are performing:
- Create a new schema component: Simple Type
- Modify an existing local component: Local Simple Type Customizer
- Modify an existing global component: Global Simple Type Customizer
This dialog box has the following fields:
- Name. Specifies the name of the simpleType component. If you access the dialog box from the Structure property in a Properties dialog box or window, you cannot modify the Name field.
- Derivation Method. Restriction, List, or Union. If you select Union, the Base Type fields are disabled.
- Base Type. Specifies the base type of the definition: Inline Definition or Use Existing Definition. If you want to use an existing type, you must select that type in the list of types.
- Preview. Shows you the source code that the IDE will add to the schema file when you click OK.
