InfoPath Dev

I need to add a box that pops up when the delete button is pressed to stop people from deleting all the data.  Couldn't find an example anywhere, someone else must have wanted to do this before.  Cheers for any help!

Hi,

Add the following code lines in the delete button.

if (XdConfirmChoice.xdNo == thisXDocument.UI.Confirm("Message that should be shown to user", XdConfirmButtons.xdYesNo))

{

return;

}

<Write the your code here to delete the data>

I get a run-time error saying that xdConfirmChoice is undefined. 

help!

Hi,

Once verify the following name space is added or not.

Microsoft.Office.Interop.InfoPath.SemiTrust

 

If it is not added then add it using the following line.

using Microsoft.Office.Interop.InfoPath.SemiTrust;

Sorry, I'm a bit new at this.  Okay, never done it before.   The namespace isn't there, but how exactly do I add it?  Also, am i supposed to include the "using" that you've got at the front of the code?  Cheers for the help!

Hi,

Yes, you have to use the ‘using' also.  To add this, take the reference of the assembly. Microsoft.Office.Interop.InfoPath.SemiTrust which is available at C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC\Microsoft.Office.Interop.InfoPath.SemiTrust\11.0.0.0__71e9bce111e9429c\Microsoft.Office.Interop.InfoPath.SemiTrust.dll

For more information about this name space, go through the below links.

So what if that file is not on my computer?  I have no C:\WINDOWS\assembly folder.  I'm on a government computer on a network, would that make a difference?

 

I'm also getting an error message saying that Infopath cannot create a new, blank form.   The form template is not valid.  I assume this has something to do with the assembly?

Hi:

What version of InfoPath are you using? What programming language is the template set to use? If you reply to the first question, I can give you directions on figuring out the second question...

Hi Hilary, I'm using InfoPath 2003 and the programming language is JScript.  Cheers!

 

 

The initial sample provided to you was C# for the InfoPath 2003 Object Model.

Here's a sample using JScript. If we follow that example, I'd guess something along these lines would work:

var answer = confirm("Do you really really really want to delete?");

if (answer == true)
{
  //delete code goes here
}
else
{
  return;
}

Hi Hilary, thanks for the help.  This is the code that I have so far. I know the delete code works, I had it working before I tried to add the confirmation.   But I still get a run-time error saying that there is an object expected at line 25.  That is the line that's underlined. 

function CTRL287_5::OnClick(eventObj)

{

var answer = confirm("Do you really want to delete?");

 if (answer == true)

{ 

var thisNode = eventObj.Source.selectSingleNode(".");

thisNode.parentNode.removeChild(thisNode);

 }

else

{ 

return;

}

}

Any suggestions?

 

No, I'm sorry -- I'm not terribly JScript savvy, I use C# -- so I was just going by what I could find online....
