InfoPath Dev

Hello everyone:

I'm visiting again the issue of using Code and how it supercedes the error trapping built into InfoPath. I have to use Code to use the Application.ActiveWindow.Close(true) function so InfoPath closes once the form is submitted. With that said, if I have the submit data connection set to not allow overwrite, InfoPath gives the user a JavaScript error message if they're trying to overwrite the form. How to I intercept that condition and present a message telling the user they've already submitted the form?

Currently, my code looks like this:

{
if (XDocument.Errors.Count > 0)
{
XDocument.UI.Alert("Required information is missing as indicated by the red asterisk(s).")
return;
}
XDocument.Submit()
Application.ActiveWindow.Close(true);
}

Thanks!
Deb

Hi Deb,

A situation such as this is why the try...catch block was invented! Try this out, and for further info seehttp://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/script56/html/b7a0a54e-dfaa-4e41-bf25-bcaa43e601fb.asp

{
if (XDocument.Errors.Count > 0)
{
XDocument.UI.Alert("Required information is missing as indicated by the red asterisk(s).")
return;
}
try
{
XDocument.Submit()
}
catch(e)
{
XDocument.UI.Alert( "Sorry, the form has already been submitted." );
Application.ActiveWindow.Close(true);
}
}

Hmmm ... I entered the code as follows:

function CTRL19_5::OnClick(eventObj)

{
if (XDocument.Errors.Count > 0)
{
XDocument.UI.Alert("Required information is missing as indicated by the red asterisk(s).")
return;
}
try
{
XDocument.Submit()
}
catch(e)
{
XDocument.UI.Alert("Sorry, the form has already been submitted.");
Application.ActiveWindow.Close(true);
}
}

I enter information that would cause the submit error (filename already exists) and when I click the button nothing happens. I tested to confirm the trap for required fields still works and it does. It seems something about the catch isn't working.

Sorry, Matt. I had mistakenly checked the "allow overwrite" checkbox. The function works perfectly! This forum is so awesome!

Thank you, Matt!
