Re: Using Date Picker to build a list?

Hi,

What I understood is you are allowing the user to select date via. Date Picker and what you want to do is you want to make a list for all the dates that are selected by user right?

For that please follow the steps for implementing your functionality.

· For saving all the dates selected by user you need to have a repeating field in which we save all the dates selected by user.

o Add a group in the data source (named " DatesSelectedByUser "). In that add a repeating field (named as “dates”).

· After adding the repeating field in a group. Add an OnAfterChange Event for the date picker. In that add the below lines of code.

[InfoPathEventHandler(MatchPath = "/my:myFields/my:DatePicker", EventType = InfoPathEventType.OnAfterChange)]

public void DatePicker_OnAfterChange(DataDOMEvent e)

{

if (e.IsUndoRedo || e.Operation != "Insert")

{

return;

}

IXMLDOMDocument2 sampleDom = (IXMLDOMDocument2)thisXDocument.CreateDOM();

sampleDom.async = false;

sampleDom.validateOnParse = false;

sampleDom.setProperty("SelectionNamespaces", formNameSpace);

sampleDom.load("sampleData.Xml");

IXMLDOMNode dates = sampleDom.selectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:DatesSelectedByUser/my:dates");

dates .text = e.NewValue.ToString();

thisXDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:DatesSelectedByUser").appendChild(dates);

}

Using Date Picker to build a list?

I have a form and I would like to add a list that users will update with a date picker. Essentially it's a list of dates that the customer does not want to receive a subscription. Right now, the user enters the dates manually into a text box. I would like to give the users the option of picking the dates with the date picker.

Is there a way to collect the date chosen via date picker and add it to the end of a list? Right now the only thing I can think of is to do it as a repeating table, but I think that will take up too much space. When printed, the form is already several pages long. I don't need any more complaints about length.

Thanks,
