Bulleted Lists

[TrussworksLeo]

Ok... This maybe a really dumb question but how do I set the default
value(s) to a bulleted list?
This is a list right? Why is there only one value? Shouldnt it be more like
a drop down where you add multiple values? I have a bunch of items I would
like to add to a bulleted list and hve the use be able to delete them if
needed.

Leo,

A list is primarily intended for an end user to enter values, rather
you prepopulating the list.

You can, however, populate the list by code in the OnLoad event to
manipulate the DOM, add nodes and assign values to those nodes.

Thanks Andrew,

You wouldn't by chance have an example piece of VB.Net code I could look at
would you?

I am using Managed Code in VB.Net.

Thanks, Leo

When I played with it this morning this is the JScript code, I
created.

function XDocument::OnLoad(eventObj)
{
var myNode =
XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:group1/my:field1[1]");
myNode.text = "Hello";
var myNS =
"http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/myXSD/2004-12-10T09:26:54"
var newNode = XDocument.DOM.createNode(1, "my:field1", myNS);
newNode.text = "World";
var myGroup =
XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:group1");
myGroup.appendChild(newNode);
var newNode2 = XDocument.DOM.createNode(1, "my:field1", myNS);
newNode2.text = "Beating";
myGroup.appendChild(newNode2);
var newNode3 = XDocument.DOM.createNode(1, "my:field1", myNS);
newNode3.text = "InfoPath";
myGroup.appendChild(newNode3);
}

I am sure it can be written more elegantly.
