Re: buttons rules and text boxes - NEED URGENT

The first approach is invalid code. The second approach is the correct one:

XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:flag").Text = "1";

What is the error you are getting?

Are you attempting to do this in an OnBeforeChange or OnValidate event handler? The DOM is readonly during those events and you will not be able to update values.

You cannot run rules from code. This is not supported. However, you can call into code from the rule condition and have your code return true or false to decide whether to run the rule. To do this, see my article "Use Code to Determine a Rule Condition":http://www.infopathdev.com/howto/tutorials/default.aspx?i=88f921f13dec4e7cae61191bac084fff

buttons rules and text boxes - NEED URGENT

buzzby — Mon, 18 Jul 2005 14:40:50 GMT

hi

First of all how can i set the value of a textbox that is formatted as a number field as i cannot get it to work.

XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:flag") = 1;
and
XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:flag").Text = "1";

do not work.

Also i have some rules setup on some buttons but i only want those rules to run if an IF statment with the code of the button is true.

How can i run rules through JScript.

Thanks
