On button click of Infopath forms select multi select list box values...

Hi,
We have multi select list box on one of the info path forms. We have placed on button on this form. If user clicks on this button we want to select some of the values in Multi select list box (check box).
Is it possible if yes how can we achieve it?
Thanks.

Amit Chhatbar

Hi Amit,
From your description, you would like to check items in a multi-selection box when a button is clicked.
I’d recommend you make use of rules in InfoPath form, i.e. when button is clicked, then set a field’s value.
However, if you are using multi-selection box, then you could only set the value of one item at a time. If you want to select several items at once, then we could use code. For more information:
http://www.bizsupportonline.net/blog/2009/07/understanding-multiple-selection-list-box-infopath/
http://www.bizsupportonline.net/infopath2007/programmatically-select-all-items-multi-select-list-box.htm
If you are using several check boxes to replace multi-selection box, then it will be more easy. The rule could be that when this button is clicked, set a field’s value (check box field) to true and repeat it.

How to extract information in cells of a mult-column list box?

I have multi column list box. At run time this listbox allow me to select entire row (this is fine), how to extract the data from each cell along the selected row? It seems to me that the Multi column Listbox (MCL) is merely a 1D array (I guess index of this 1D array corresponds to row index of the MCL and value of the element corresponds to column index of MCL.)

To extract cell values of the selected row, you can create a property node for the MCL. From this property node, choose "Item Names". This is a 2D array containing all cell values. Index this array with the MCL terminal. Note that you must choose the scalar data type for the MCL. To choose the scalar data type, right click on the MCL and go to "Selection Mode"->"Data Type"->"Scalar".
See attachment written with LabVIEW 6.
I hope it will help you.

Multiple-Selection List Box Values in Multiple Columns

I am using InfoPath 2010 with SharePoint 2013. I have a form with a multiple-selection list box which has A LOT of choices. Instead of displaying all the choices in one column, is it possible to display the values of my list box in several
columns?

Hi Andrea,
I agree with Brij, one multiple-selection list box is associated with one list field, we cannot use the one multiple selection list box value for other multiple selection list boxes, we need to create multiple choices for each multiple-selection list box
control in InfoPath form.
Thanks

How to insert data to the specified row column of the multi column list box

Hi All
How do i insert data into the specified column of the multi cplumn list box?
I have a table that containsall station nos and name.Then another table contains the data the various stations having at for 24 hrs.That is 12 am to 11 pm.
And i want to display each stations details as follows using a multi column list box/table
My stationinfo table
stnno   stnname......................
s1           stn1
s2            stn2
s3             stn3
The other table
stnno      sysdatetime       data
s1             12am                   1
s2              12am                   4
s1               1 am                 2
So the station s1,s2.... will have data for 24 hrs.
And i want to display it as follows using a multicolumn listbox
stnname        12am   1 am ......................................11pm
s1                   ...................
s2                 ........................

and in a for loop get the station's data from 12 am to 11 pm

How to set No Selection Attribute in List of Values?

Hi Everyone,
I'm developing an ADF form which has a List of Value(LOV) as a requirement.
I've got it working based on a View Object. However, I'm trying to set the No Selection option in the LOV and it doesnt seem to work. I've set it to the "Labelled Item - First of List" - <Please select a reason>. That doesnt seem to do the trick.
Is there another attribute I need to set?
I'm using JDev 11g.
Many thanks.
PP.

if you are using the af:selectonechoice then use it like
unselectedLabel="Please Select"but its better to debug why you are not getting this done from the VO.. can u give more information on this to solve it in the model itself..
did u check if the VO is updated properly with the changes???

How to prevent multi-column list box showing an extra column

I am using a multi-column list box to display data and to allow the user to enter new values. More columns are used than are actually displayed within the bounds of the listbox control. Using an event structure the user is able to scroll left and right along the columns of the list box to select the appropriate field. I am using the 'Edit Position' property to highlight the particular field that the user is selecting. This technique works well and the listbox scrolls left and right to display the selected fields correctly.
If the listbox has, say, 10 columns with only 5 being visible within the displayed width, then I clamp the Edit Position to a maximum column value of 9 to prevent the list box from continuing to scroll right into unused columns. This works fine, except that when the user scrolls to the 10th column, the listbox control always shows a blank 11th column. The 11th column cannot be selected. It would appear that this is default behaviour for the listbox control in that an additional column is always displayed relative to the Edit Position. In my particular application it is untidy to have this blank column appearing. I have tried a workaround by programmatically writing to the 'TopLeft' property of the listbox. This partially works by ensuring that the blank 11th column is never displayed, however, despite the Edit Position being correct to select the 10th column, the field in the 10th column is no longer highlighted and the user cannot enter a new value.
Does anyone know of a method for preventing the blank additional column from appearing?

Ok - I have attached an example which demonstrates the issue. This is produced with LV 2012. Open the project and then the 'Multi column listbox.vi'. Run the vi and use the right/left arrows to move between cells in the listbox. Observe that unused (unwanted) columns are always displayed to the right.
Thanks for any help..

Counting the number of values selected in a list box

I'm trying to add a counter to a form that tells the user how many values have been selected from a list box... I tried adding a FormCalc formula to a calculate event in the "counter" field as follows:
count(form1.#subform[0].ListBox1.rawValue)
But for some reason it's not adding them up. It only gives me a value of 0 when none are selected, or 1 where any number of selections are made.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks in advance

Try putting this in the calculate event of your counter field:
var num=0;
for (var a=0;a<ListBox1.items.nodes.length;a++){
if (ListBox1.getItemState(a))
num++;
this.rawValue=num;
Exit the list box and the field will calculate.

Display infopath form in listview, select item to populate the form

Hi-
I once used a list where if you selected the list item by clicking a <-> button,it then populated the infopath form on that page. I have a page with two webpart zones, one for the list and one for the related infopath form. How can i connect the webparts,
so when i select a single list entry the infopath form populates?
I cant remember the tutorial i once found, loved this feature.
thanks

Hi,
That icon comes up when you connect the InfoPath form web part with the list web part. The view that is displayed on the Infopath web part will populate with the list item selected in the list view. When creating the connection, choose the option to Get
form data from and it will automatically select the Infopath on the page. This is a similar post but done in O365.

Infopath form crashes when selecting second lookup field

Hi there,
I suffer from a strange behaviour in sharepoint 2010. I created an infopath form, which (besides lots of other fields) includes two lookup fields (1 and 2) which points to the same data list. Moreover there's a third lookup field (field 3) which also points
to that data and is meant to be the filter for cascading dropdown. When I select a value from field 3, the data in field 1 and 2 is filtered according to the selected value. When I select a value in field 1 everything is allright. Then the selected entry from
field 2 is removed from data of field 3 using data filter. When I select a value from field 3 the form crashes (which means the rendering crashes). All fields disappear and oly the red stars of required fields are shown. When I click the cancel button, all
fields appear again ald the value is selected. Also when I move around the form panel, the fields are shown again. This problem only appears in IE. When I tried this in Google Chrome, everything works just fine. Also in the InfoPath preview it works. I am
using IE 11.
Thanks for your help
Cheers,
Magnus

Hi Magnus,
As this issue only appears in IE, it seems to be a client issue.
In general, for this issue, we do that:
Add the site into IE Trusted Sites.
Add the site into Compatibility View.
Whether you try to use IE 10 mode in IE 11. If not, pelase have a try.
Please test on other machines, compare the result.
Please use IE 10 to test, compare the result.

Multi Selection from a List Box to a Text Box

So I want to be able to make Multi Selections within List box and export it to the Text box. Right now I have a Script running on the cal of the Text Box
event.value = getField("LISTBOX").valueAsString;
Which is able to do one selection but I cant find anybody that can grab two selecitons and put into a text box with commas for something. Is there a way to do this?
-Zach

Wow over my head a little. I understand what an array is with script but not how to write the script to handle it. I made this:
event.value = getField("LISTBOX").value;
But still no change in the behavior with multi selections. Example below if you want to check it out.

Unable to change and re-publish existing InfoPath forms on External SharePoint lists (SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Online and On Premise)

Hi everybody,
I really reached the limit of my diagnostic ability... ...please help me!!!!
I subscribed an Online Sharepoint 2013 Development site to try Business Connectivity Services and InfoPath forms. Using SharePoint Designer 2013 I successfully created an external content type
and an external list, including InfoPath forms.
When I use InfoPath Designer 2013 to customize the forms I can open and change them without any problems, but when I try to publish the changes I made I get the following error:
"An error has occurred. The form template has been published to the server but it can only be opened using InfoPath filler"
(please note that I changed just an existing label, without adding any new control or new fields).
If I try to do exactly the same things but with an normal SharePoint list everything works like a charm!
I noted that the main difference between the internal/external list is that with the internal list the publishing path in InfoPath 2013 is something like:
https://<sharepointsite>/lists/<listname>
whereas for the external list is something like the following:
https://<sharepointsite>/lists/<listname>/item/template.xsn
Trying to overcome the problem I installed SharePoint 2013 Enterprise on premise using the VM from the Windows Azure Gallery. In this case the error I get when I try to publish with InfoPath
Designer 2013 is the following:
The following URL is not valid:
http://<sharepointsite>/lists/<listname>/item/template.xsn
and of course everything works fine with InfoPath Designer 2013 and regular SharePoint lists.
Even if I believe the problem is in general with external list and InfoPath, my external list is based on a the "Product" table from the "AdventureWorks2012" sample database
installed on SQL Azure and connected to SharePoint via Business Connectivity Services.
A big
thanks in advance to anyone who is able to
provide useful information to solve the problem!!!

Fabio

Hi Folks,
Same issue here for any external list. We've migrated from 2010 to 2013 - it used to be fine on 2010. 2013 seems hang after 'getting site column information' then nothing. All effected users can quick publish to regular sharepoint lists, but cannot to external
lists.
In our situation we are trying to quick publish to sites using the 2010 look and feel in a 2013 environment. using SharePoint Designer 2013 and InfoPath 2013.

Error when trying to pulish an InfoPath form to SharePoint 2010 list

I am getting this error:
The SOAP response indicates that an error occurred on the server:
Server was unable to process request.---> Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Any ideas on why I can't publish form and how I might fix this?
Laura

Hi Laura,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you published your InfoPath form.
I aggreed with Sangha said, please check the "Design Checker" to check if there are any errors in the form.
If yes, I suggest you remove the related fields and check if the form can be published successfully.
There are two similar posts, please check if they are useful for you:

How to retain selected multi select facet on frontend

Hello,
We are having some multi-select dimensions on our site. As per default behavior of endeca, whenever a multi-select facet is selected from left navigation it is not again returned in the endeca navigation response. Because of this behavior we are not able to retain this selected facet in faceted navigation. Is there any way in endeca to retain this selected facet which user an also un-select later.
Regards,
Edited by: IKumar on Apr 12, 2012 12:07 PM

As I understand, and it is a common UX approach, you wish to show the selected refinement in place with the other available refinements. What you are are really doing here is combining navigation and breadcrumbs in the same user control, Seans method is correct you just need to remember to deal with un selecting it as well and add in line the description value with the refinements.
