Dont realy understand the trick with the main datadource

But....for me works the following code:

public void clearForm_OnClick(DocActionEvent e)

{

IXMLDOMNodeList nodes = thisXDocument.DOM.selectNodes("//*");

IXMLDOMNode node = nodes.nextNode();while (node != null)

{

if (node.selectNodes("child::*").length == 0)

{

try

{

node.text = "";

}

catch (Exception nodeNoTextEx)

{ }

}

try

{

node = nodes.nextNode();

}

catch (Exception nodeNotExsistEx)

{

node = null;

}

This get all the nodes out of the dom and set the text-attribute to "" as long as there is a node.

If u use for example the hungry notation for the naming or just use the default u can easyly select some sub volume/area like only groups or fields or or or

No that is not normal with a database type form, where the DFS datafields are present.

Depending on code, field validation, or possibly other corruption could maybe cause this.

When you open a new form, they should be blank and allow input. Is this the case?

You can always create a test form, with the query and data fields exposed and test the query with a blank results with that.

I seem to have reached a point in my form that whenever I query a result that is not present, it disables the controls of all the dataFields in that connection. Is this normal?

As a result, the removeAll() method and the query method (eg. ID = 99999) lead to the same situation, the fields become blocked and I am unable to enter back any information.

The easy trick for this is to requery your main data source with a value that is not present(does not return any results). Then it will return blank values in your data fields, except for any defaults.

So query where ID = 99999 or whatever and that effectively resets all the fields and new data can be added just like a new record.

Hi all,

I have an issue I need fixing. I wanted to clear all values in fields when the user clicks a button so I altered code (jscript) from this forum (http://www.infopathdev.com/forums/p/5914/22037.aspx#22037) to help me out as follows:

var objSource = XDocument.DOM.selectNodes("/dfs:myFields/dfs:dataFields/d:Training_Tool");
objSource.removeAll();

The problem is everytime this operation occurs it disables all my controls. This person had a similar problem (http://www.infopathdev.com/forums/p/6005/22452.aspx#22452). I tried altering my code accordingly however no luck. They are using 'IXMLDOMS' and, while not being a good programmer, I don't quite know how to implement that or if it even applies to my situation.

I have too many nodes to manually set each to blank (i.e. XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("dfs:myFields/dfs:dataFields/d:Training_Tool/@OverallStatus").text = "";).

Any ideas?
