Actually, I was looking through the responses, and maybe I missed something. I have the same issue. I have a sharepoint list, that will drive, dynamically, In my case, I want to dynamically create the sections on a "Optional Section," "Repeating Section", "Repeating Table" or "Master Detail". Whatever makes the most sense. If I'm muddying the waters of the original question, I would be glad to post seperately.

Thanks!

Hi,
Bind Expression box to XML node and modify the text in the xml node using the code. Expression box is the sibling of a label where you can have hardcoded text as label or you have an expression or bind it to a XML node.

OK. From what I understand your requirement is that you are storing a list of lables in a sharepoint list. Each label is associated to a checkbox. In InfoPath, there is no sort of label control. I have been very disappointed in that. The closest thing is an Expression box but I have not been able to set it through code.

Suggest that you a repeating table. The first column will be your labels read from your sharepoint list. I would make the text bound read-only. The second column would be you checkbox control.

No, the problem is that the number of controls I need to place on a form is variable, specifically their labels are stored in a sharepoint list.

Is the issue you are having problems using conditional logic to hide checkboxes? Check this article out on the website -http://www.infopathdev.com/howto/tutorials/default.aspx?i=95f238a046174e749ae2338545e75867

Dynamically add controls?

dev — Tue, 27 Sep 2005 16:13:54 GMT

Hello,
I have the following task:
dynamically creating a number of checkbox controls (binded to a repeating element); the number and labels for the checkboxes are stored in a sharepoint list.
In fact the controls are options describing some entity. It is convenient to store and manage those options in a sharepoint list than redesigning the form each time the option set changes.
Surely the task could be implemented by using a repeating table with dropdowns binded to the sharepoint datasource.
But I need the checkbox version since the form view is used for printing also; in this case all the options should be visible, which is impossible for a dropdown.

Could anyone outline a possible solution?
Thanks in advance.
