MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / October 2007Infopathh Multi-Selection List Box
Greetings, I have an IP form using a dataconnection to populate a Multi-selection listbox with options. Then when finished filling out the form they submit the form to a webservice where we parse the XML. However the values IP stores for this list box is something like Value1, Value2 etc. But we need the actuall values that were selected from the datasource. I have seen a few articles on how to do this but have not been able to get them to work. I believe because of the fact that the options are being populated by another dataconnection. Ideas? What do you mean with "actual values"? What you are currently getting are the actual values. :) Or do you mean the display names? And how are you submitting to the web service? Through code? And which articles did you read? --- S.Y.M. Wong-A-Ton > Greetings, > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Ideas? Display names I guess is what I mean. Submitting to the webservice via code yes.

What you need to do is retrieve the value of the multi select list box. This will contain the selected values separated by commas. Use the Split() function to split those values up and put them into an array (one of the articles show how to do this). Once you've done this, you can loop through the array. For each item, you must them do a lookup in the secondary data source that is bound to the multi-select list box and use the value of the item to retrieve its display name. You can retrieve the secondary data source using DataSources[<sec_ds_name>].CreateNavigator() and then use a SelectSingleNode with an XPath expression that contains a filter on the value to find the display name. --- S.Y.M.
