MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / February 2007Drop down boxes
Can InfoPath handle drop down boxes where multiple items can be selected, like Front Page? Frontpage has that? I never knew. a drop down that allows multiselect is very non standard. usualy we use listboxes instead. Anyway, out of the box Infopath has a "Multiple Seelction List" which is rendered as a list of checkboxes. However, you can develop and use your own activeX control instead .

I remember you once saying that you were still using InfoPath 2003? InfoPath 2003 does not have a multi-select list box out-of-the-box, only InfoPath 2007 does. And you needn't create an ActiveX control yourself to get this functionality in InfoPath 2003; just follow the instructions in this post: http://blogs.msdn.com/infopath/archive/2004/04/01/106039.aspx --- S.Y.M.

S.Y.M, note that he asked for a multiselect *dropdown* and not a listbox. that is why I replied as I did.

Ishai, Your answer was partly correct for InfoPath 2007. --- S.Y.M.

Thanks following that procedure worked perfectly, albeit awkward to program >I remember you once saying that you were still using InfoPath 2003? >InfoPath [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >> Can InfoPath handle drop down boxes where multiple items can be selected, >> like Front Page? |
