First time I've come across that panel - never tried a dtd with InDesign as I prefer xsd to validate. Another bag of bugs, using a random dtd from Oxygen yields some strange error messages. Enough ranted.

Note for plug-in developers, widget ID is kValidationSubPanelWidgetID.

kStructureValidateRootActionID has ID 0x133D9 - hex value, can be used with itemByID().

Localizable name is "Structure_ValidateRoot"

So this menu action won't just open the validation panel but also perform the validation. In other words, no way to check the check mark of the action to see whether it is opened, also no way to close.

You could hunt for a menu action. But I guess, there is no way.To get a list of all menu actions you could use a script by Peter Kahrel: Menu actionshttps://creativepro.com/files/kahrel/indesign/menu_actions.html Unfortunately all related discussions in the InDesign Scripting Forum Peter linked to are not with us anymore. They were not transfered to the new Adobe InDesign forum last year. Properties and methods of menuActions can be found here:https://www.indesignjs.de/extendscriptAPI/indesign-latest/#MenuAction.htmlhttps://www.indesignjs.de/extendscriptAPI/indesign-latest/#MenuActions.html Regards,Uwe Laubender( ACP )
