Reading about numerous people raving about the performance increase when the
number of node handlers decereases, I've atteptmed to put one even handler on
a "group" of nodes rather than each node.

I have the following structure
myFields
group1
test1
test2

So with onAfterChange attached to group1, the following code cannot determine
the name of the node where the event was fired

eventObj.Source.nodeName

instead it returns #text.

Any ideas on how to avoid this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

See if this works as you need in the OnAfterChange event:

Select Case e.Parent.nodeName
Case "my:test1"
thisXDocument.UI.Alert("Test 1")
Case "my:test2"
thisXDocument.UI.Alert("Test 2")
End Select

** NOTE: Just so we are on the same page, this sample is for use with
VB.NET.

Let me know if this works for you! :-)

Attaching this code in its C# or JS version to the group1 node (made as Group
in infoPath data source) achieves nothing unfortunately.

Hi,

Can you be a bit more specific? Are you saying the correct message boxes do
not appear, they do not appear whatsoever or modifying the code as I
described does not help the situation?

If the modified code does not help in your situation, can you describe what
you are trying to accomplish versus the results you see with the modified
code?

Your initial post was how to determine the node that fired - the sample
code should have resolved that question.

Thanks,
