InfoPath Dev

Hi all,

 I am creating an infopath 2007 form that my users will fill out and submit to a WSS 3.0 (not a MOSS portal site) site. The form will have a section for the user to click a button and sign off on the form. The functionality I am trying to accomplish is the following:

1. Click on a button to sign off on the infopath form
2. The button will add the users name (preferably first and last) into a text box
3. The button will also add the current time into a text box
4. The button will become disabled and the textboxes will be read-only.  

I should also mentioned that I am creating a "managed code" form with Visual Studio 2005.

 My struggles have been:

1. Getting the User Name to even display
2. Understanding the life cycle of an infopath form.  

Any help would be greatly appreciated, or some guidance as to whether or not what I am trying to accomplish can be pulled off in sharepoint.

Hi,

You can set username to textbox by using following code. Write this in button onclick event.

SetNodeValue(“/my:myFields/my:field1”,System.Environment.UserName);

Use conditional format on button so that if all the text boxes are not blank then disable button.

Here field1 is textbox control.

Hopes this helps.

 

Hi,

Double click on the button and click on "EditFormCode" button. Copy Paste the below code.

 XPathNavigator xn = this.MainDataSource.CreateNavigator();

XPathNavigator xnDateTime = xn.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:field1", this.NamespaceManager);

string currentDate = DateTime.Now.ToString("yy-mm-ddThh-mm-ss");

xnDateTime.SetValue(currentDate);

XPathNavigator xnUserName = xn.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:field2", this.NamespaceManager);string currentUser = System.Environment.UserName.ToString();

xnUserName.SetValue(currentUser);

 

Field1 ---> Datetime field

Field2 ---> Username field.

 If you want to display the only time in the Datetime field, then use below code:

string currentDate = DateTime.Now.ToString("hh:mm:ss");

 

Thank you Anuma for the code snippet to work with. When i add this code to my infopath .cs form i get Security Exceptions(System.Security.SecurityExceptions to be exact) thrown on the following lines:

1.   XPathNavigator xnDateTime = xn.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:field1", this.NamespaceManager);
2.   XPathNavigator xnUserName = xn.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:field2", this.NamespaceManager);

Do I have to create a certificate for this source to run on my machine? From your experience what are we looking at for my users who use this infopath form? Is there a work around just so that I can test it? Is there an alternative solution for having to have a signed certificate for this form?

Are you using full trust form?

This code is working for me in a normal form.
