InfoPath Dev

I would like Submit to not only close the form, but close InfoPath. This application seems to scare the bejesus out of people and I'd like them to not be left in the middle of it once they've filled out a form.

Thanks!

When you select the Submitting Forms under Tools, click Enable Submit commands and buttons. Click Submit options, then select Close the form. When the form is published to the SharePoint library and your user uses "Fill Out This Form", after they click Submit, the form and application should close.

Thanks, Stephanie. Mine doesn't behave like that. If the user clicks "Fill Out This Form" from the forms library, they click Submit and the form is submitted and closed, but InfoPath is left open.

Also, is there a way to code it so it would automatically close even if launched from within an email?

Try this in vb.net:
thisXDocument.Submit()
thisXDocument.View.Window.Close(True)

or for JScript:
Application.ActiveWindow.Close(True);

or VB Script
Application.ActiveWindow.Close True


Good luck!

Thanks, Stephanie. I tried this JS:
Application.ActiveWindow.Close(True);

but get this error:

A run-time error has occurred . . .
"True" is undefined

I am sorry, it should be a lower case "true".

Hi CycleFitness,

Try this one
thisApplication.ActiveWindow.Close(true);

Hope this helps you.

Well, take that back. My version didn't work. Neither did this:

thisApplication.ActiveWindow.Close(true);

Any other thoughts why mine wouldn't be working?

Thanks!

Trying all options presented ... this one worked:

Application.ActiveWindow.Close(true);

Where can I find help on the object model and these types of commands? I have a subscription to safari.informit.com, and am reading Patrick Halstead's Developing Solutions with Microsoft InfoPath. Are there any other great resources I should know about other than this site?

Thank you, everyone! I'm so excited.

thisApplication.ActiveWindow.Close(true) is for c#. The problem you had was due to the casing issue (and it's my fault, I had typo in my suggestion).

The MSDN library is a good place to start:

I am having the same problem.  I am not sure what is the issue.  I am using VBScript as my language.  I have a submit button that saves the info and closes the form.  The code below is all I have for the OnSaveRequest.  I am new to InfoPath and this site.

Sub XDocument_OnSaveRequest(eventObj)

' Write the code to be run before saving here.

eventObj.IsCancelled = eventObj.PerformSaveOperation

' Write the code to be run after saving here.

Application.ActiveWindow.Close True

eventObj.ReturnStatus = True

End Sub

Hi BAHMan,

 I tried in both VB.Script and Java Script.

 In Java Script "true" is case sensitive where as in VB.Script it is not.

 Try these

BLOCKED SCRIPT       Application.ActiveWindow.Close(true)

BLOCKED SCRIPT   Application.ActiveWindow.Close(True) or Application.ActiveWindow.Close(true)

 

Hope this will help you.

Hi BAHMan,

 

InfoPath site converted the "J Script" and "VB Script" with no space in to BLOCKED SCRIPT.

In Java Sript                    Application.ActiveWindow.Close(true)

and in VB Script             Application.ActiveWindow.Close(True) or Application.ActiveWindow.Close(true)

 

Hope this will help you..

I tried all that before.  I was just wondering if I could be blocked from running the code?  Or if the submit button actions trumped the code.
