Lookup Selection Setup

The XML node location of the display text to be presented by the lookup to users as the choices for selection.  This property can be specified in one of two ways:

1) A simple xpath query, represented by the following:
          :xpath=(your xpath query here)

2) An XML string, which allows you to specify a more complex value consisting of multiple xpath queries and static text values. The XML string must contain a values root node with child value nodes representing your individual string pieces.  The value nodes contain a single attribute type which tells the property whether it should treat the value as static text or an xpath query.  The attribute values are type="text" or type="xpath".

Default:        empty

Example:       :xpath=NewDataSet/Table1/Title
                   <values>
                             <value type="xpath">NewDataSet/Table1/Title</value>
                             <value type="text"> - </value>
                             <value type="xpath">NewDataSet/Table1/Description</value>
                   </values>

NOTE:  The values returned by this property cannot contain a semicolon in the content, as this character is used for item separation.
