MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / April 2006List Box & Multiple selections
Is it possible to have a list box & make multiple selections? For example, The list box pulls the data from the data source and it contains a field for each hour of the day. The user then needs to make multiple selections, i.e. 0100, 0300 & 0500 & be able to submit it to the same data source. If this is possible, how do I go about setting that up? tia for any and all assistance. No InfoPath 2003 does not provide built-in support for Multi-select list boxes, you would need setup it manually with a scrolling region, take a look at the blog post by the InfoPath team for a sample http://blogs.msdn.com/infopath/archive/2004/04/01/106039.aspx The next vesion does have built-in support for Multiselect list boxes.

I have read this blog but it doesnt say how to connect the multiple selections to your data source and have them entered in as new records in the database when you hit submit. It only works with static lists. I also need to have this list be a cascading list of a previous dropdown selection. Any ideas on that... It would have been easier if the list box would just allow multi selection... > No InfoPath 2003 does not provide built-in support for Multi-select list > boxes, you would need setup it manually with a scrolling region, take a look [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > > > tia for any and all assistance. Here's how I did it: Dim strategyNodes As IXMLDOMNodeList = thisXDocument.DataObjects("LocalCommWKSLookups").DOM.selectNodes("//Strategies") Dim numStrategies As Integer = strategyNodes.length If numStrategies > 0 Then For countStrategies As Integer = 0 To numStrategies - 1 If countStrategies <> 0 Then thisXDocument.View.ExecuteAction("xCollection::insert", "Strategy_773") Dim strategyNode As IXMLDOMNode = strategyNodes.Item(countStrategies) Dim NewStrategyNameNode As IXMLDOMNode = _ thisXDocument.DOM.selectNodes("my:myFields/my:Strategies/my:Strategy/my:StrategyName").Item(countStrategies) NewStrategyNameNode.text = strategyNode.selectSingleNode("StrategyName").text Dim NewStrategyIDNode As IXMLDOMNode = _ thisXDocument.DOM.selectNodes("my:myFields/my:Strategies/my:Strategy/my:StrategyID").Item(countStrategies) NewStrategyIDNode.text = strategyNode.selectSingleNode("StrategyID").text Next End If > I have read this blog but it doesnt say how to connect the multiple > selections to your data source and have them entered in as new records in the [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > > > > > tia for any and all assistance. |
