3. Click on OK button.

4. Go to Tools -> Programming -> ‘On Switch View Event..'

You will get script.js file with ‘OnSwitchView' event. In this you have to add the above swathi code.

Hi,

Add a filed to data source (ex: field1 and its xpath is like /my:myFields/my:field1). Before submitting the form, write the following code.

XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:field1").text = XDocument.View.Name;

Add a switch view event and write the following code.

function XDocument::OnSwitchView(eventObj)

{

var viewName = XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:field1").text;

XDocument.View.SwitchView(viewName);

}

Thanks. I think this theory will work, but I'm new to InfoPath and never had the experience on JavaScript. Could you show me where to insert the code (when saved and open) and what exactly the code will be?

Hi,

Before saving the form get the view name by using the following code line.

thisXDocument.View.Name

and store this value in a field.

When you open the form use this value to open the view using the above post code.

ViewInfos.SwitchView("Name of your view");

Hi,

I have created a form using different views and controlled by the buttons. Once the view was selected and saved, I want the same view displayed when the form was opened again. But when I try to open the form, it always gives me the default view, is there a way I can do that? Any helps will be appreciated.

I don't know how to close the view. But below is the once option to refresh the page.

If you want to refresh the page after submitting data to database, then you need to add the rule to a button to clear the values. Other wise you can write those code to clear the values.

Add following rule to the button after submitting to the Db.

Double click on the button and Select Rules button.
Click on “Add” button
Click on “Add Action” button.
Select “Set a Field Value” from Action field.
Select field xpath from “Field” text box.
Leave “Value” as blank.
Click on ok.
Follow the same steps from 3 to 7 for other fields.

one form can have many views in it. my intention was to close the view when i am moving out of that view. for example if i am in insert view and i have inserted some records in database and when i press save button i want insert view to get closed so that if i am opening the insert view again values in insert view should get cleared instead of code clearing the each form individually.

that's why i wanted to close the view. is there any way to close the view in c#?

Hi,

Close view means, do you want to switch to other view.

As of my knowledge there is no way to close one single view. Because form will open in one view.

I want to close view and not form. Is there a way to close a view using C# in infopath 2007?

Hi,

Below code will work to close the Infopath2007 form.

this.Application.ActiveWindow.Close();

If you working on browser form, then it will not work. You need to add the rule to close the form.

Hello,

Closing InfoPath form view means we have to shift one view to another view. At a time we can see only one in InfoPath. Above Anuma given code is for close the InfoPath form.
