MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / September 2005Deselect option buttons
I want the option buttons on my form to be able to be deselected (by clicking on the button twice) if chosen by mistake. At the moment I have to 'undo'? Any suggestions or should I be using a different control...... Option buttons do not natively support deselection within InfoPath. Undo does work, but only if that was one of the most recent changes made in the form. So it's not always a viable option. You could place a button labeled "clear" or "reset" at the end of the option list. This button would blank the value of the field to which the control is bound.

How would I go about making the button blank the vaule to the field in which the control is bound? > Option buttons do not natively support deselection within InfoPath.

Add a rule to the button which sets to "" (blank) the value of the field that the option button control is bound to.
