Re: Populate values from different form

Here's the javascript solution I've implemented. Just to add another similar example:

function btnRaiseChange::OnClick(eventObj)
{
	var xDoc = Application.XDocuments.NewFromSolution("http://test/Forms/template.xsn");
	
	
	var sourceNode = XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:group4/my:deviceName");
        //had trouble with namespaces so came up with the //*[local-name()='deviceName'] solution
	var destNode = xDoc.DOM.selectSingleNode("//*[local-name()='deviceName']");
	if (destNode != null)
	{
		destNode.text = sourceNode.text;
	}

}

Hi Agni,

thx for your hint, it brought me to the solution. For those who wanna do the same here a short snippet:

XDocument newForm		= thisApplication.XDocuments.NewFromSolution("http://Server/Web/test.xsn");
			IXMLDOMNode node		= thisXDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("my:myFields...");
			IXMLDOMNode testNode	= newForm.DOM.selectSingleNode("my:myFields....");
			testNode.text = node.text;

If you are opening new form from code then you, you will have a reference(XDocument) to the newly opened from in the old form. You can set values in this new forms reference(XDocument).

If you just have a link in the UI then you will not have referece to the newly opened form, so will not be able to populate the data.

Hi all,

is the following possible. Let's assume we have a link in an InfoPath form which opens another InfoPath form (not view). Can I then somehow populate values which has been entered into the first InfoPath form (from which the second gets opened) in the new one ?
