Re: Multi-Select List Box

It is believed that browser enabled InfoPath forms do not support multiple selection list box.

But there is a work around for this.

I have posted a step-by-step approach along with the source code to make multiple selection list box a possibility with browser enabled InfoPath forms.

Read my full post at: http://www.sharepointfix.com/2010/03/creating-multi-select-list-box-in.html

The example here is for InfoPath 2007, but should work well with InfoPath 2003 as well, since it is a programming approach.

Seems like you should just need to map the check box value to the SP default value.

(If I recall correctly:) One issue I've seen before is that if you are using a boolean in SP, it doesn't use 1 and 0, it uses -1 and 0. This might be a source of trouble.

Hi Greg,

Thanks for your response, as a matter of fact I tried the solution that you have suggested and it works perfectly fine. But my issue to set the default values in the form. As in the solutions we have to set the default values manually which makes the list static. I want to set these default values from the SharePoint list.

I would appreciate if anyone can provide me the direction for solving this.

Thanks,

Afzal

Multi-Select List Box

Afzal — Wed, 21 Feb 2007 16:27:43 GMT

Is it possible to create a multi-select list box from a SharePoint list. I have a Sharepoint list which I want user to select multiple values from. I have tried making it as a repeating table with a drop-down, but would like to use a multi-select list box.

I am using InfoPath 2003 with SP2. Any help in providing guidance is greatly appreciated.
