strTableRef Simple Type

Defines a string that references a message string that is defined in a string table in the manifest or in a message (.mc) file.

<xs:simpleType name="strTableRef">
    <xs:restriction
        base="xs:string"
    >
        <xs:pattern
            value="(\$([Ss]tring\..*))|(\$([Mm][Cc]\..*))"
         />
    </xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>

Patterns

The strTableRef simple type is a xs:string that is restricted by the following pattern:

  • (\$([Ss]tring\..*))|(\$([Mm][Cc]\..*))

    The string must be of the form, $string.stringid or $mc.symbolid. If the string is of the form, $string.stringid, it must reference a string in the stringTable section of the manifest. If the string is of the form, $mc.symbolid, it must reference a symbol defined in the message file.
