INFOPATH DEVELOPER HELP NEEDED !

[Cyril]

Ok now I think we need the help of someone wo has taken part into the
development of infopath:

Here is the problem that nobody has been able de solve (see my past post):

I have a sharepoint site with a form librairy.
I added my sharepoint list to the the secondary data source, then I dragged
and dropped a field on my form, which led to the creation of an extensible
section.
I am willing to FILTER this extensible section using the data contained in
another listbox.

This seems to be impossible to do, the "filter" button is not even present
on property page of the extensible section?

Please someone help!

Thanks

Cyril

xdXDocument:get-DOM()/my:mesChamps/my:Selection_element) and

Controls from secondary data sources do not show the filter button. There
are two ways to do what you are trying to do.

1. In the Designer:
Bind your control to a node in the main DOM. Add the filter manually using
"The Expression". If you use the expression designer it will create an
expression that will not work later. Once you have your filter in place,
then re-bind your control back to the secondary data source. The filter will
actually stay in place -- it is not erased. By the way this can cause
headaches if you ever do this and didn't mean to, and then can't figure out
why things aren't showing up right! I wouldn't call this a bug, its more of
a power feature. I'd say the bug is that the filter button isn't present for
secondary data sources.

2. Manuallly Modify the XSL:
Extract your form files and manually add the filter to the control in the
XSL. InfoPath will leave it alone as long as it is constructed like the
other filters created from the designer.

Hope this helps!
