XMetaL uses WebBrowser ActiveX control. Microsoft is less likely to remove it in near future.

Even it happens, we’ll find other replacement.

Did this problem happen in the previous version of XMetaL?

Are you editing DITA document?

Hi,

rng.ReadOnlyContainer = False
rng.NonRemovableContainer = False

The two lines about are not executed as commands. This is why they are not undoable.

At present, there is no workaround it. I will add the issue to the backlog of XMetaL 16.

Regards,

Ning

Hi,

You still can delete an element with readonly content directly.

The following 2 lines are not needed.

rng.ReadOnlyContainer = False
rng.NonRemovableContainer = False

Ning

Hi,

XMetaL is an XML-editor. It cannot open/edit the documents of other types.

Visual Studio is a 32-bit app. So only 32-bit COM component can be displayed/added to ToolBox.

You can try the 32-bit XMAX installer.

Hi,

In Control Panel -> Programs and Features, do you see an entry of XMAX 14?

>>P.S. Why Xmetal dev team not planning to migrate to V8 javascript engine rather than actual Ms JScript ? Performance will be better.

In short, because V8 does not support COM/IDisptach/IActiveScript.
In order to use V8, the entire API binding has to be re-written. All the existing scripts are not likely going to be run under V8 by default (e.g., if the scripts use new ActiveXObject(…) or XFT forms or winforms or wpf).

The task is too big to consider at present.

It seems this message is from Author Enterprise. The following is what I found.

XMEE production versions require a license file for printing using RenderX related plugins.
Every time when XMetaL launches, it writes file
C:\ProgramData\SoftQuad\XMetaL\Shared\renderx\license.xml
When XMetaL terminates – it removes this file.
In case if action cannot be completed – this message appears.

First: reboot system
Second: try manually deleting this file if it exists.
Third: check if access to the folder above is not locked by system or antivirus.

RenderX is not shipped with Author Essential.
