Hi,

I need to close an InfoPath form in the OnLoad Event. My Form loads
drop-downs from web services that might or might not be available. If any of
these web services are offline there is no point for my form to load. I would
like to just display an error to the user and close the Form.

Can this be done? I have noticed that most methods to close a form cannot be
called from the OnLoad Event. Is there any way to do this? This seems to be a
very basic task.

Thanks for your Help,
Regards,
Chris

Hi,

One possible workaround is to add a view with your custom message. OnLoad,
you test your WS and you point your users to your main View is the test is
passed, otherwise you default the form on the View just added where the
message is displayed.

Hope that it helps.

I tried to call thisXDocument.View.SwitchView in the OnLoad event and I got a
NullReferenceException. I also tried to do it by setting a field in the
document and adding a rule to the Open Behaviour but that doesn't seem to
work either.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks and regards,
Chris

Hi,

You need to set the default view:
thisXDocument.ViewInfos["YourViewName"].IsDefault = true;

Hope that it helps.
