I am trying to create receiving log for when our warehouse guys get in equipment they have to enter a serial # for every item that is received. I have a textbox for a quantity, and I need to have textboxes added for what ever is entered in the quantity field. Is this possible and how do I go about doing it?

Thanks

Hi Craig and welcome to the forum!
How many textboxes do you need to add? Is the number conditional on the quantity added? Should be easy to do.

Yes the number of textboxes is conditional to the quantity, ie. if they type 4 for the quantity, 4 textboxes will appear. :)

Yes it is posible, you need to write an OnAfterChange event on Quatity field and write code to insert the XML nodes depending the quatity.

Is there any examples that you know out there on the web, for doing this?

Can anyone help? PLEASE!!!

Hi Sorry for being late, here is the code.

In the following code i took data from sampledata.xml, which will have a copy of template.xml. From that i took the Empty textbox, cloned it and appended it to the container of the textbox as many number of times as quantity.

[InfoPathEventHandler(MatchPath="/my:myFields/my:quatity", EventType=InfoPathEventType.OnAfterChange)]
public void field1_OnAfterChange(DataDOMEvent e)
{
if (e.IsUndoRedo)
return;
int quantity = Convert.ToInt32(e.NewValue.ToString());
IXMLDOMDocument2 oSampleData = (IXMLDOMDocument2)thisXDocument.CreateDOM();
oSampleData.async = false;
oSampleData.load("sampledata.xml");
oSampleData.setProperty("SelectionNamespaces", "xmlns:my=\"http://my\"");
IXMLDOMNode oSampleNode = oSampleData.selectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:TextBoxNodes/my:TextBoxNode");
IXMLDOMNode oTextBoxsParentNode = thisXDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:TextBoxNodes");
for(int i=0; i < quantity;i++)
{
oTextBoxsParentNode.appendChild(oSampleNode.cloneNode(true));
}
}

Hope this helps!

OKay, sorry for being a pain in the rear here, but can you explain this a little to me. I am very new to XML and Infopath.

Thanks

I am reading the required Node which has to be inserted in to "oSampleNode" and appending it to the Parent of the node as many times as quantity.
