Thanks.

Check out this chain -http://www.infopathdev.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=810

In InfoPath there is no typical focus() method to call. You have to select the correct node in the DOM.

Hi,

I've this problem: the function View.SelectText requires two parameters a node and a varViewContext which is the ID of the control that is used for the context, which is an element with the specified view context of xd:CtrlId, otherwise it gives me an error.

use "Type.Missing" for the second parameter:
VB.net:
thisXDocument.View.SelectText(Node, Type.Missing)

Hi,

here is my code (C#.net):
public void CTRL81_5_OnClick(DocActionEvent e)
{
// Write your code here.
IXMLDOMNode nodeAna = thisXDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode ("my:myFields/my:DatiAnagrafici/my:DatiAnagraficiLab");
thisXDocument.View.SelectText(nodeAna, Type.Missing);
}

and this the error I get

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException
The specified values for the View.SelectText call are not valid.
at Microsoft.Office.Interop.InfoPath.SemiTrust.View.SelectText(IXMLDOMNode pxnField, Object varViewContext)

Can you hel me?
Thanks

Hi all,
I've found the problem.
here the solution: the textbox mustn't be read only.

Regards

check your xpath properly

IXMLDOMNode nodeAna = thisXDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode ("my:myFields/my:DatiAnagrafici/my:DatiAnagraficiLab");

Hello,

I am having a similar 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 Microsoft.Office.Interop.InfoPath.SemiTrust._ButtonEventSink_SinkHelper.OnClick(DocActionEvent pEvent)

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks!

Hi Bill,

You have to check the ‘objectField1#%92 node is getting or not before set the focus. If you are getting the node then below the syntax is correct to set focus this filed. One more is the textbox should not be read only as per mcjack.
