Description Hongchang Lin CLA 2006-12-01 03:57:06 EST 
In the improved XML editor(can be refered to bug 159507), we plan to implement a feature: after selecting a design element in designer outline page, locates the selected element in report XML source and highlight the lines that represent it.
Please also see attachment illustrates it.

Probably we can assign the selected design element, which is obtained from selection Report request, to the current ModuleHandle, and the lines info.(including start offset and total lines, or start and end line NO.) are return to GUI to highlight them on XML editor.
Thanks.
