InfoPath Dev

 I have a user that wants the form he is filling in to automatically print and close the form when he clicks on a button.

I've managed to get the form to print when the button is closed but when I then add the Close element to the code the form closes before it has a chance to print.

The example code that I am playing with is as follows:

Public Sub CTRL4_5_Clicked(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ClickedEventArgs)
           
            Dim field2 As XPathNavigator = e.Source.SelectSingleNode("my:field2", NamespaceManager)
            If (field2.Value) = 2 Then

                Me.Print()
            End If

            Me.Close()

 Can anyone help me?

Try adding the close as an action.

Code runs before rules if I remember correct.

Otherwise you might need some delay action in your code to allow printing to complete before the close.

 Thanks for the response. Being a very new person to Coding and InfoPath, can you explain what you mean by 'Adding the close as an action'?

Sure Mike.

If you open properties of a button and go to rules.

Create a new rule.

Go to actions and one of your options in the drop down is to close the form.

Hi,

Can you follow the below steps to close the form on button click.

1. Double click on the button to open properties.
2. Click on the Rules.
3. Click on “Add” and click on “Add Action” button.
4. Select “Close the form” from action dropdown.
