MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / April 2005Basic Text Formatting
I need to be able to dynamically write some text to the form in a textbox (or some kind of control, preferably one which can be unbounded, but I don't think that's going to be possible) based on some of the fields edited by the form's user. This text needs to be selectable as I'm expecting the user to cut and paste it. At the moment I cannot figure out a way to print newlines to the screen. I really need to be able to format this text but any /n or <br> just shows up as text. I thought perhaps a rich text field would be the ticket, but I can't seem to get that to work, either. Any ideas? Bill To achieve that, you must use a rich text box, and the rich text box must be linked to a data element in the schema (otherwise there is no other way to access its contents). Then you can assign and retrieve data from/to that box, getting the data is simple, SelectSingleNode("path").xml , but assigning the data requires 2 XML DOMS and some code, well, you can use the text property, but you will loose the formatting. "Thanks to the Microsoft team who forgot that rich text boxes can be assigned programmatically :-), I hope they remember this in the next InfoPath and have a single function for that". Just search google to get how to assign a rich text box with a value. The contents of the box are XHTML (sort of), you can get more info from this link about XHTML http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/ > I need to be able to dynamically write some text to the form in a textbox (or > some kind of control, preferably one which can be unbounded, but I don't [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Bill Hello Mr. Tarazi. Can you please give a sample code on how to assign xhtml data into a rich text box. I've been pulling out my hair trying to achieve this but after almost a week of searching my search turns out empty. Many thanks and kind regards. |
