InfoPath Dev

Hi,

i have a repating section in which i have placed one text box,
and i have one more textbox on form which is outside of repeater control.

now at runtime if i insert new entries of repeating section (in each entry, i enter some data in textbox)

now i want, when i move my cursor to any of the textbox in repeating section, the content of the textbox should be reflected in textbox which is outside of repeating section.

Thanks & Regards,
Santosh.

You may have to add a button click to get the functionality you are looking for. From what I understand, the user will

- enter a value into a textbox
- visually select a row in a repeating table
- then the user would have to press a button to move the data to the selected row

I have not found that InfoPath does not have as many events to hook into as in over places.

So the key here is when the button is clicked, you have the index of the selected row. I wrote a method like the one below to get the current row selected in a repeating table. If I remember correctly, the repeating table had to be set up as Master table for this to work.

Function GetSelectedItemsIndex()

Dim iRow
Dim iItemCount

iRow = 1
iItemCount = XDocument.DOM.selectNodes("//my:Item").length

'check the current part row count
If iItemCount = 0 Then
iRow = 0
Else
'we know there is at least one row
iRow = 1

'Call to the dom and get the current selected row.
'-1 will be returned if there is any error trying to
'locate the current row.
If iItemCount > 1 Then
iRow = CInt(XDocument.GetNamedNodeProperty( _
XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("my:Items"), "CTRL408", -1))
End If

End If

GetSelectedItemsIndex = iRow

End Function

vt_asparagus Thanks for your reply,

one of our member (MFaus) has given me the code to select a particular node of repeating section and delete that

var node = XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode( "my:myFields/my:group1/my:group2[my:id = 3]" );
// remove single row from table
node.parentNode.removeChild( node );

but here i need to provide the value of control (my:id = 3, where id is a textbox control in repeating section). my problem is how to set this value at runtime (i.e. i want to delete only selected node)

to achieve this i was thinking to have one textbox outside repeating section and, i'll link its value to the textbox in repeating section (using rules), and then write the above code on delete button click and concatinate the value from the textbox which is outside repeating section. but this dosent help me to achieve the functionality.

Please help.

Thanks & Regards,

Ok. Using both my post, and the code you found, I would try something like:

Dim iSelectedIndex
Dim objSelectedNode
iSelectedIndex = GetSelectedPartsIndex()
objSelectedNode = XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("//Item[" & CStr(iSelectedIndex) & "]")
objSelectedNode.parentNode.removeChild(objSelectedNode)

In vbscript but you should be able to translate. Hope this helps.

hi vt_asparagus,

Thanks very much for Reply
i m not able to understand following line

iRow = CInt(XDocument.GetNamedNodeProperty( _
XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("my:Items"), "CTRL408", -1))

what are (my:Items & CTRL408) ?
if we have my:myFields/my:group1/my:group2/my:id,
where id is textbox in repeating section my:group2, what do i need to provide in the statement which you have given for GetNamedNodeProperty


Thanks & Regards

Not sure if I'm following exactly what you want, but look at these tutorials. They helped me A LOT.
