Hi Sai Krishna,

I have followed the steps what you said. Every thing is working fine. Place holder is visible after clicking the button also. Can you attach the form that you are using? So that we may help you.

Hi, no luck even now. This is what i did. 1 Added TextBox to InfoPath. 2 Added PlaceHolder to this TextBox 3 Added Button to infopath 4 Through VSTA Coding, does this thisXDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:field1").nodeTypedValue = string.Empty; 5 Preview the form, placeholder is visible 6 click the button, the placeholder is deleted.(although there is no text n the textbox) Regards, SaiKrishna

Try by deleting the text box and readd it and add the placeholder again and then build the solution.

Hi, I have a textbox("/my:myFields/my:otherQualityReviewers") which has a placeholder text that reads like this " click and type". When i set the value of this textbox to null or string.empty through code. as below, the placeholder is lost. thisXDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:otherQualityReviewers").nodeTypedValue = string.Empty; Please let me know, what i must do to ensure placeholder is visible after code manipulation. Regards, Saikrishna
