InfoPath Dev

Hello,

i´ve created an infopath form which consists of 13 views. i have a view which is called "summary", there you can see the 13 views in an preview. i put the content of all the 13 views in the summary with managed code. i copy the innerxml of every node to the summary-view. i had a perfromance problem, because the numeral controls of the summary view were in rich-text. now i changed the fields in the summary view to expression boxes. But when i copy the rich text content of the views to the expression boxes of the summary, the formatting dissapears. i edited the xsl-file like in this article: http://www.infopathdev.com/blogs/greg/archive/2005/06/13/Display-Rich-Content-in-an-Expression-Box.aspx 

After i changed the xsl-file everything works fine in the infopath rich client, but if i upload it to sharepoint the summary view doesn´t show anything. it´s just an empty view without the content of the 13 views.

Is there another possibility to change rich text fields and still have formatting fields? Can i dosomething with html-code? I tried to do something with conditional formatting, but there isnt a possibility to set tabs.

Thanks for the help...

Hello Emmy,

Can you please try this code for displayng the Rich text box content into the Expression Box. I think this will help you.

 public static void SetRichTextNodeValue(IXMLDOMNode expressionBoxNode, IXMLDOMNode richTextBoxNode)
        {

            if (expressionBoxNode == null || richTextBoxNode == null)
                return;

            if (richTextBoxNode.text == "")
            {
                expressionBoxNode.text = String.Empty;
                return;
            }

            if (richTextBoxNode.firstChild == null)
            {
                string value = richTextBoxNode.ToString();
                if (richTextBoxNodes.text != value)
                    expressionBoxNode.text = value;
            }
            else
            {
                expressionBoxNode.text = String.Empty;
                IXMLDOMNodeList childNodes = richTextBoxNode.childNodes;
                foreach (IXMLDOMNode childNode in childNodes)
                {
                    expressionBoxNode.appendChild(childNode.cloneNode(true));
                }
            }
        }

Thanks for the answer, but unfortunately it doesn´t work. The expression boxes are getting the content of the rich-text boxes, but still without the formatting of the content. I hope there is another possibility to solve this perfomance problem....

Hi ,

I done some sample codes on this functionality and atlast i found that we can only get the content of a rich text box into the Expression box but not formatting .
