I could not get this working so I had to take a different tactic. The code below is written in C#, for IP2003. It uses the clipboard ala IPC.

Call the method like so:

insertRichText(@"<h1>foo</h1>", "//aRichTextField");

And here is the method:

public void insertRichText(string richText, string xPathForInsertion)

{

//Declarations

StringBuilder sb;

IXMLDOMNode xNodeTarget;

Encoding encoding;

string htmlPrefix;

string htmlSuffix;

//Assignments

xNodeTarget = thisXDocument.DOM.documentElement.selectSingleNode(xPathForInsertion);

sb = new StringBuilder();

encoding = Encoding.UTF8;

htmlPrefix = @"<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC ""-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN""><html><head><meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=""text/html; charset={0}""></head><body>";

htmlSuffix = @"</body></html>";

htmlPrefix = string.Format(htmlPrefix, encoding.WebName);

htmlSuffix = string.Format(htmlSuffix, encoding.WebName);

//Add the top to the clip

sb.Append(htmlPrefix);

//Add the content to the clip

sb.Append(richText);

//Add the bottom to the clip

sb.Append(htmlSuffix);

//Add the clip to the clipboard

System.Windows.Forms.DataObject clipDO = new System.Windows.Forms.DataObject();

clipDO.SetData(System.Windows.Forms.DataFormats.Html, sb.ToString());

System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard.SetDataObject(clipDO, true);

//Select field element

thisXDocument.View.SelectText(xNodeTarget, Type.Missing);

//Paste into element

thisXDocument.View.ExecuteAction("Paste", Type.Missing);

}

Hi again,

Some weeks ago I found out the solution to this issue, I hope it can be helpful to someone. I coded the solution creating a new XHTML field in the main data source, and throwing an OnAfterChange event In thee original field (secondary data source). In this function I used this code:

var answDiv = "<div xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\">" + xmlString+ " "</div>";
var ansXMLDoc = XDocument.CreateDOM();
ansXMLDoc.loadXML(answDiv);
node.appendChild(ansXMLDoc.documentElement.cloneNode(true));

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to show xhtml text in a expression box (mostly I need show links), this text is provided from a web service in a ado.net dataset. The problem is that the data is displayed as plain text. I was trying with many ways, and using this post like reference but I gave up. Can you help me?

Thanks for your job.

PD. I'm using Infopath 2003 (jscript code) and VS 2005 (c#)
