InfoPath Dev

I have a repeating section that on insert on a new section, it insert a new row into my main data source.  I can then add data to the new record w/o issues.  However, I have a series of check boxes and I have added a button to flag them all false if the user wants.  My issue is if I click on the control it only completes the transaction on the first record in my repeating section.  How can I use this control on each newly inserted section or how can I move the record pointer so that the fields on the newly inserted section are the ones that get evaluated?

 Thanks!

Hi,

Where is your button located? Is it in the same repeating section? Or outside of the repeating seciton? What actions do you have in the rule on the button?

I've attached a sample template. Right click the link in the message header and save the file locally. Then right click and open in design and preview. Add a bunch of sections, click the button to set all check boxes to true.

My button is in the repeating section.  I will look at your code and see where we differ and get back with you.

Oh, I don't have any code in that -- it was just a simple form with a button and a rule. I may have greatly underestimated what you are trying to do -- but if your button is outside your repeating section and the action is to set the field the checkboxes are bound to as 'true', your button will set all the fields. If it is inside the repeating section, it will only update the field inside the repeating section. I think of it as the buttons 'knowing' where they are, which is probably goofy. :)

Still not working having button outside the repeating section.  Maybe it is my code, see snippette.  I fire this code off on click of the button:

 It works fine with the first record, however it never seems to find the next next repeating section that has been eneterd.  Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Yes, this will always set the value of the first node. You'll need to select the list of @Q8OthIncYesNo2a nodes and set the value for each of them.

 For example (note, I'm just 'freehanding' this and could easily have compilation errors, but it will give you the idea):

IXMLDOMNodeList nodes =  thisXDocument.DOM.selectNodes("/dfs:myFields/dfs:dataFields/d:ADHS3243/@Q8OthIncYesNo1a");

foreach (IXMLDOMNode node in nodes)
{
   node.text = 'n';
}

Great Idea!!!!  That should work!

I see why Patrick brags about you....... 

OK...

Here is my code:

Dim node As MSXML2.I�MLDOMNode

Dim strField As String

Next

When I run it I get the following error:

IXMLDOMNode and NodeList are from Microsoft.Office.Interop.InfoPath.SemiTrust. Your form code should have an imports statement like this at the top:

Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop.InfoPath.SemiTrust

Then try:

Dim node As IXMLDOMNode

Dim strField As String

Next

That worked....

Thanks for all of your help 

Hillary,

Thanks again and here is my final code to handle the mutiple check boxes that I have:

Dim node As Microsoft.Office.Interop.InfoPath.SemiTrust.IXMLDOMNode

For i = 1 To 13

Next

Next i

If you have any suggestions, please let me know otherwise, thanks gain!!!
