This answers my question. I apologize for overlooking this in the documentation.
I was hoping that I could define one placeholder in the customize.xxe_gui file that is replaced by all of the menus in the configuration.xxe file, but it appears that you have to declare a placeholder per configuration specific menu. The solution you suggest solution will work great for my application. However, in the general sense, it seems a little awkward to have a dependency from the customize.xxe_gui to a particular configuration. I'll attempt to illustrate the problem. Assume a user has two configurations installed: Config1 and Config2. Config1 wants to define the menus "A" and "B". Config 2 wants to define the menus "C" and "D". Right now, the xxe_gui file would have to declare all 4 placeholders in order to accommodate either configuration. It would be nice if you could define a "menuGroup" in the xxe_gui file that would act as a placeholder for all configuration-specific menus defined in the current configuration. When Config1 is loaded, the menuGroup is replaced by menus "A" and "B". When Config2 is loaded, the menuGroup is replaced by menus "C" and "C". I can workaround this particular problem in my application with the approach you suggested because I'm only bundling one configuration with XXE. I just think what I suggested above might be a more flexible solution for configuration developers.

Is there any way to replace the > configSpecificMenuItems with all menus specified in a configuration? I'm sorry but I'm not sure to understand. An XXE configuration file may contain multiple menus, though it is not common to do so. Such menus are required to have different *name* *attributes*. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/menu.html In such case, the XXE GUI file must define multiple ``pointers'' for these menus. Each ``pointer'' must refer to the name attribute of a menu defined in the configuration file. How to do this is explained here: http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/multiple_menus.html -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
