MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / January 2006How do I remove the focus from ddlist after making selection?
Making a selection in a drop-down list runs a db query. My users are making their selection, getting the query results then try to scroll with the wheel which opens the ddlist again. How do I remove the focus from the ddlist control after the query is run? On behalf of my users and I, thank you in advance. Hi Ethan, Have you already tried setting the focus on another field using SelectText or SelectNodes? http://blogs.msdn.com/infopath/archive/2004/04/07/109189.aspx Regards, S.Y.M.

SelectNodes works. The problem is I need to select the node as soon as the query results are returned without any user action and if I combine Query() with SelectNodes I get a run-time error saying that the SelectNodes call is an invalid selection. How do I get SelectNodes to run after the query results are returned using the same trigger event such as OnAfterChange? Thanks for the quick response.

I had a similar error showing when I hid a dropdown based on what the user selected and showed a text box in same location (similar to the "Type text..." combo box in the InfoPath Conditional Format Dialog). I had solved my SelectText problem by setting a flag and selecting a third Node (not a drop down node) and for the OnContextChange method I checked for the flag and redirected back to the desired node via SelectText. (This problem only seemed to occur with my code when in a repeated section). Setting the Tab index of the ddlist control to -1 did the job. Thanks to Ashish for this simple solution. See his post "Subject: RE: Changing the focus on the view" > I had a similar error showing when I hid a dropdown based on what the > user selected and showed a text box in same location (similar to the [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > (This problem only seemed to occur with my code when in a repeated > section). The problem is because your drop-down list is the first selectable control in the view. If you had something else selectable before that (like a text box or check box or anything else) then you could use the wheel without any problem.
