Hi,

1. You are correct.

2. You are correct.

3. Use the same code with minor changes for the control in the second view.

string nextview=thisXDocument.ViewInfos[0].Name;
thisXDocument.View.SwitchView(nextview);
thisXDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:field1").text=thisXDocument.View.Name;

Hello Abhishek,

I think this message of yours may speak to our issue/plan. We have a form that is destined to have 2 views (we'll call them "View A" and "View B")

"View A" is a full view of a form that has several items (Drop-Downs, Fill-in boxes, and so on).
"View B" is a detail blow-up of one of the items, which is an extensive Multiple Select

When the user clicks on a control located at this item, the view should change from A to B. After the user makes his selections in "View B," they will "save" their selections by hitting another control which switches back to View A.

1. Am I correct that the first control is what you have termed the button called "Change View"?
2. Am I correct that this initial control would have an onclick event of "Change View" button in View A, with the following code.

string nextview=thisXDocument.ViewInfos[1].Name;
thisXDocument.View.SwitchView(nextview);
thisXDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:field2").text=thisXDocument.View.Name;

3. What do I do for the Control to switch back to A? (from the user perspective, they would be saving their selections for the this item before moving to the next)

Hi Raoul,
Have 2 views namely "View A" and "View B".

In the "View A" keep a button called "Change View".

In "View B" keep a textbox whose underlying field is "field2".

Now in the onclick event of "Change View" button in View A, write the following code.

string nextview=thisXDocument.ViewInfos[1].Name;
thisXDocument.View.SwitchView(nextview);
thisXDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:field2").text=thisXDocument.View.Name;

So in ur case replace ViewInfos[1] by ViewInfos and increment/decrement "i" based on ur needs.
Maintain "i" globally.

Regards,
Abhishek

Next button and view name

Hi all,
I have an Infopath module with 20 views. On any view, I need to create a button for open of next sequential view (not by view name, but by view order). Also I need a text field, one for single view, that automatically contain view name.
Can I do that?
Thanks in advance.
Raoul
