How to set focus to a specific control

stpowell — Fri, 29 Jun 2007 22:23:21 GMT

I have done some research and found the following code can be used to set focus to a control that is bound to a data source.

Private Sub SetFieldFocus(ByVal xpath As String)

Dim textNode As XPathNavigator = CreateNavigator().SelectSingleNode(xpath, NamespaceManager)

CurrentView.SelectText(textNode)

End Sub

I tested it and it works; however it will not work if I set the form to be “Browser Compatibility”.

The message I get is: 'SelectText' is not a member of 'Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.View'

I am coding in VB and using InfoPath 2007 and SharePoint MOSS 2007.

Dose anyone know how I can set focus to a control that is bound to a data source in a browser compatible form?

Thank you,

Steve
