InfoPath Dev

Hi all,
I have an Infopath module with 20 views. On any view, I need to create a button for open of next sequential view (not by view name, but by view order). Also I need a text field, one for single view, that automatically contain view name.
Can I do that?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Raoul,
Have 2 views namely "View A" and "View B".

In the "View A" keep a button called "Change View".

In "View B" keep a textbox whose underlying field is "field2".

Now in the onclick event of "Change View" button in View A, write the following code.

string nextview=thisXDocument.ViewInfos[1].Name;
thisXDocument.View.SwitchView(nextview);
thisXDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:field2").text=thisXDocument.View.Name;

So in ur case replace ViewInfos[1] by ViewInfos and increment/decrement "i" based on ur needs.
Maintain "i" globally.

Abhishek

Hi Abhishek,
all right with your infos.
Thank you.

Hello Abhishek,

I think this message of yours may speak to our issue/plan.   We have a form that is destined to have 2 views (we'll call them "View A" and "View B")

"View A" is a full view of a form that has several items (Drop-Downs, Fill-in boxes, and so on).
"View B" is a detail blow-up of one of the items, which is an extensive Multiple Select

When the user clicks on a control located at this item, the view should change from A to B.  After the user makes his selections in "View B," they will "save" their selections by hitting another control which switches back to View A.

1.  Am I correct that the first control is what you have termed the button called "Change View"?
2.  Am I correct that this initial control would have an onclick event of "Change View" button in View A, with the following code.

string nextview=thisXDocument.ViewInfos[1].Name;
thisXDocument.View.SwitchView(nextview);
thisXDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:field2").text=thisXDocument.View.Name;

3.  What do I do for the Control to switch back to A? (from the user perspective, they would be saving their selections for the this item before moving to the next)

 

Hi,

 1. You are correct.

2. You are correct.

3. Use the same code with minor changes for the control in the second view.

string nextview=thisXDocument.ViewInfos[0].Name;
thisXDocument.View.SwitchView(nextview);
thisXDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:field1").text=thisXDocument.View.Name;
