InfoPath Dev

Hello,

I have been searching the forums on how to set the focus to a field. I used the code provided in some of the responses but I am still having an issue when attempting to set the focus to a check box: I run this code (written in VB) in an afterUpdate event:

Dim objectField1 = e.Xdocument.DOM.selectsingleNode("/dfs:myFields/dfs:datafields/d:AForm49B/@Gender")

e.xDocument.View.SelectText(objField1, Type.Missing)



and I receive this error:

The specified values for the View.SelectText call are not valid.
at Microsoft.Office.Interop.InfoPath.SemiTrust.View.SelectText(IXMLDOMNode pxnField, Object varViewContext)
at Microsoft.Office.Interop.InfoPath.SemiTrust.ViewObjectWrapper.SelectText(IXMLDOMNode pxnField, Object varViewContext)
at DHS49B.DHS49B.CTRL7_OnClick(DocActionEvent e) in E:\goldmine\GMForms\DHS49Forms\DHS49Forms\DHS49B\DHS49B\FormCode.vb:line 752
at Microsoft.Office.Interop.InfoPath.SemiTrust._ButtonEventSink_SinkHelper.OnClick(DocActionEvent pEvent)

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks!

Bill

Was the field visible, and not read-only before the afterUpdate event?

Yes:

It is a live field on the form. Do you have any ideas?

What type of control is bound to the field? Never mind -- I see above you said it was a check box. This is the problem. Only certain controls can be selected. A check box is unfortunately not one of them.
