Re: Add a New Blank Row to a Repeating Table More opti

I sat down with a colleague and we nutted it out. For those who may need help for the solution in VB, here it is:

Dim newxmlstring As String
Dim newrow As XmlDocument = New XmlDocument
Dim Parent As XPathNavigator

'Build XML needed for empty node
newxmlstring = "<my:group4><my:field1></my:field1><my:field2></my:field2><my:field3></my:field3></my:group4>"
'Create a new empty node
newrow.AppendChild(newrow.CreateElement("group4"))
'Define Parent
Parent = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:group3", NamespaceManager)
'Add new node to parent as XML
Parent.AppendChild(newxmlstring)

Thanks for the reply Nukkumatti,

I'm using InfoPath 2007 and it didn't like things like thisXDocument and IXMLDOMDocument. I tried C# 2003 compatible and it didn't like async, loadXML & documentElement.

If possible I was hoping for code in VB as I don't know the other languages.

Thanks,

Simon

Add a New Blank Row to a Repeating Table More opti

YoungSC — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 06:33:44 GMT

I want to mimic the functionality of the "Insert Item" function in
InfoPath for a repeating table using code triggered by a button
press. The reason is, I am designing forms for users which includes
people who don't have the best computer skills and may not notice or
know how to use this InfoPath function.

I have found the following code:

Dim row As XPathNavigator
row = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator.SelectSingleNode("/
my:myFields/my:group3/my:group4", NamespaceManager)
row.Clone()

Dim parent As XPathNavigator
parent = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator.SelectSingleNode("/
my:myFields/my:group3", NamespaceManager)
parent.AppendChild(row)

This works, but also adds any text entered in the child fields of
cloned node. I want to add a new row without any text. I have tried
individually changing the text values of the children nodes using
row.selectSingleNode("XPath").text, but text isn't compatible with the
XPathNavigator object.

I have very limited programming experience so I am not familiar with a
correct object or solution to what I am trying to achieve and would
appreciate some direction.
