The rules that u specify will apply actions when the user changes a value in the control.<br /><br />hope that helps.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Abhishekhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/3440.aspxMon, 06 Nov 2006 13:47:33 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:3440travisBickle0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/3440.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&PostID=3440Sorry for the confusion what i mean is:<br /><br />When i get the data from the webservice using the combo box bound to webservice is will set the dropdown to the approriate value.<br /><br />However, if this value is changed and i want to capture it to post back to webservice i cannot get the combo box value.<br /><br />hope that makes sense.https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/3439.aspxMon, 06 Nov 2006 13:10:23 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:3439Abhishek0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/3439.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&PostID=3439Hi TravisBickle,<br /> When u hardcode values in the dropdown manually,u have the option to select the default value in the listbox properties dialog.Thats why u can find the value selected by default in ur dropdown.<br /><br />So how do u set the default selected value for the dropdown when u bind the dropdown to a web service?<br /><br />Do as follows...<br />Assume ur web service returns aaa,bbb,ccc,ddd.<br />And u need to automatically set "ddd" as the selected value in the dropdown,<br /><br />Go to the data source taskpane and double click the field to which ur dropdown is bound..Lets say "cmbRecommendation"<br /><br />Set the default value of the field cmbRecommendation to "ddd" in the dialog box that opens.<br /><br />Now the web service bound dropdown shows "ddd" by default as the selected value.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Abhishekhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/1649.aspxMon, 06 Nov 2006 11:34:38 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:1649travisBickle0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/1649.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&PostID=1649I have a dropdown list which have the values hardcoded.<br /><br />When i submit to the webservice i can get the selected value of the dropdown:<br /><br />this.thisXDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("//my:cmbRecommendation").text;<br /><br />However, when i bind the dropdown with the database values returned from the webservice the above becomes blank.<br /><br />Any ideas?
