Scroll Position

[ChipD]

Is there a way to save and set the scroll position in a view (similar to
scrollTop property in DHTML)?

We have several views in our InfoPath form, one that contains a list that
scrolls vertically. This view contains a button that takes them to another
view. When the user is on this view and moves to a different view, then back,
it would be very nice to restore the user's vertical scroll position so that
they don't have to scroll down to find where they were.

Thanks!

Hi,

One way to do this is to get the focus to the control where you want to go
by code using code such as :
IXMLDOMNode oNode =
thisApplication.ActiveWindow.XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode(YourTargetNodePAth);
thisApplication.ActiveWindow.XDocument.View.SelectText(oNode,Missing.Value);

For example, you can write code to "jump" to a textbox or to an optional
section that way.

If you store the path of your source control in a global var, you can use it
to jump back in the right place after you switch back to your original View.

Hope that helps.
