Browser-Enabled Form - Dropdown HTML Values

munzili — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 20:42:39 GMT

Hi!

I'm adding in an browser-enabled InfoPath Form dynamically with C# items, which works correctly.

I setted the DropDown Source to Fields of the Form ( MainSource ). Via C# OnLoad() event i add my items dynaicaly:

//-- set value of dropdown item
tempNode.SelectSingleNode("my:" + XPathField + "Value", IPForm.NamespaceManager).SetValue(searchResult[i][valueField].ToString());

                textBuilder = new StringBuilder();

                //-- create text of dropdown item by creating multi-column text values, splited by "|"
                for(int k = 0; k < textFields.Length; k++) ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// THIS CREATES THE TEXT VALUE, WHICH GETS DISPLAY, DYNAMICALY. EXAMPLE VALUE: 1 | blabla     | ASDF
                {
                    fieldValue = searchResult[i][textFields[k]].ToString();

                    toAdd = maxLength[k] - fieldValue.Length;
                    fieldValue += string.Join("", (string[])ArrayList.Repeat(" ", toAdd).ToArray(typeof(string))); ////////////////////////////////////////////////////// THIS JUST ADDS &NBSP; TO THE VALUES END, SO IT MACHTES THE SAME LENGTH AS ALL OTHER FIELDS
                    //fieldValue = fieldValue.PadRight(maxLength[k], ' '); //-- verify the text values have all the same size so the layout is ok
                    textBuilder.AppendFormat(" {0} |", fieldValue);

                }

                //-- get final text value string
                fieldValue = textBuilder.ToString();
                fieldValue = fieldValue.Substring(0, fieldValue.Length - 1).Trim();

                //-- set text value
                tempNode.SelectSingleNode("my:" + XPathField + "Text", IPForm.NamespaceManager).SetValue(fieldValue);

                //-- add new dropdownlist-item to the field
                mainGroup.AppendChild(tempNode);

My Problem is now, that InfoPath encodes the setted Text Value. The outputted JavaScript Code with the values shows ( InfoPath HTML encodes the value   to &nbsp;) :

["","","1250","1250 | BLABLA&nbsp;&nbsp; | 1","1296","1296 | asdf&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; | 1","1294","1294 | asdfasf&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; | 1"]

Does Anybode know how to awoid this?

Thanks!
