Re: multi select list box and string datatype

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.

Hello,

Can you check once multi selection box field is repeating field or not? We can use integer data type for multi selection dropdown but those selected values should be integers.

If you want to change the data type of that field you can directly change in .xsd file of that your schema file.

i am trying to add a multi select list box to a form that has a web service as it's primary data source. the web service has a repeating field which is defined as a string. when i try to select the field, infopath gives me a message that control must be bound to repeating field with text data type. the data source is locked because it's based on a web service, so i can't change it to a text datatype. any ideas?
