InfoPath Dev

Hi,

Id like to have a text box on my form, which acts like the googles new feature of displaying optoins under it.

the data for the autofill should come from a SharePoint list.

The object would be to get something like, the person filling the form in types A, and it under it (even if a choice box or something) a list is displayed with all the options from the list begining with A, when they type the next letter, so Al, the list shows all options with Al, then when customer types in the next letter Ala, the list then displays all options that beining with Ala only...

Does that make sence? hope so :)

 Does anyone have any ideas on how to get something like this to work?

Cheers, Iri

Hi Iri,

This is supported in InfoPath. Just set up a data connection (Tools->Data Connections) to query from a SharePoint list and then add a rule to the SharePoint list dropdown that sets values based on filtering the data per the dropdown selection. You'll need one set-value action per field that auto-populates. Easy to do!

Hi Patrick,

 Thanks for your reply, I manage to get this working, but could i ask for a little more help?

When I type in the a text box now, a list box below shows all the names in the list, when i hit tab from the text box, the list box selects a name in the list.

My question is, how do i get the list box to remove all the other names that dont contain the name in the text box??

I've been playing with rules but cannot seem to get it working :(

Thanks in Advance, Iri
