I may be missing something. I have a Multiple Selection List box in a Section. See attached pic. When I right click on the grpApplications and copy XPath it gives me /my:myFields/my:grpAccessOfficeEquipment/my:grpApplications when I right click for XPath on the fldApplicatins it gives me /my:myFields/my:grpAccessOfficeEquipment/my:grpApplications/my:fldApplications
In the code (code posted below) I am referencing the /my:myFields/my:grpAccessOfficeEquipment/my:grpApplications/my:fldApplications and I get no value. but I used /my:myFields/my:grpAccessOfficeEquipment/my:grpApplications I get a value for selected item in the listbox.
But I am still getting error NullReferenceException "object reference not set to an instance of an object" on string appName line. The AppID looks like this "\n\t\t\t262265264143\n\t\t" instead of whole number in debug. but when I click on the binocular is shows 262265264143 but with spaces/lines before and after this
XPathNavigator MainDS = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator();
XPathNodeIterator iterApp = MainDS.Select("/my:myFields/my:grpAccessOfficeEquipment/my:grpApplications", NamespaceManager);
System.Text.StringBuilder sb = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
while (iterApp.MoveNext())
{
string AppID = iterApp.Current.Value;
//int lookupID = Convert.ToInt16(value);
XPathNavigator secAPPDS = DataSources["SupportEscalationList"].CreateNavigator();
string appName = secAPPDS.SelectSingleNode("/dfs:myFields/dfs:dataFields/d:SharePointListItem_RW[#ID = '" + AppID + "']/#ApplicationProcess", NamespaceManager).Value;
sb.Append(appName);
item["ApplicationProcess"] = sb.ToString(); // because applicationprocess column in target sp list is single text type column
}
Says here multiple selection list boxes are supported in 2010 browser forms but not 2007 browsers forms. Hope that helps.

We are developing an Outlook VSTO add-in.
Right now I am trying to append some information to a meeting invite the user is in the process of composing. I want the content to appear in the body like what clicking the Teams-meeting button would do, where formatted text and links are appended to the end of the body.
Since the content is HTML and the Outlook Object Model does not expose an HTMLBody property for AppointmentItems, I try to set it via Redemption:
// Dispose logic left out for clarity but everything except outlookApplication and outlookAppointment is disposed after use
Application outlookApplication = ...;
AppointmentItem outlookAppointment = ...; // taken from the open inspector
NameSpace outlookSession = outlookApplication.Session;
RDOSession redemptionSession = RedemptionLoader.new_RDOSession();
redemptionSession.MAPIOBJECT = outlookSession.MAPIOBJECT;
var rdoAppointment = (RDOAppointmentItem)redemptionSession.GetRDOObjectFromOutlookObject(outlookAppointment);
string newBody = transform(rdoAppointment.HTMLBody); // appends content right before HTML </body> tag
rdoAppointment.BodyFormat = (int)OlBodyFormat.olFormatHTML;
rdoAppointment.HTMLBody = newBody;
Problem
The Outlook inspector window is not updating with the appended content. If I try to run the code again, I can see the appended content in the debugger, but not in Outlook.
Things I have tried:
Saving the RDOAppointmentItem
Also adding the content to Body property
Using SafeAppointmentItem instead of RDOAppointmentItem; didn't work because HTMLBody is a read-only property there
Setting PR_HTML via RDOAppointment.Fields
Paste the HTML via WordEditor (see below)
Attempt to use WordEditor
Per suggestion I also attempted to insert the HTML via WordEditor:
// Dispose logic left out for clarity but everything except inspector is disposed after use
string htmlSnippet = ...;
Clipboard.SetText(htmlSnippet, TextDataFormat.Html);
Inspector inspector = ...;
Document wordDoc = inspector.WordEditor;
Range range = wordDoc.Content;
range.Collapse(WdCollapseDirection.wdCollapseEnd);
object placement = WdOLEPlacement.wdInLine;
object dataType = WdPasteDataType.wdPasteHTML;
range.PasteSpecial(Placement: ref placement, DataType: ref dataType);
... but I simply receive the error System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800A1066): Kommandoen lykkedes ikke. (= "Command failed").
Instead of PasteSpecial I also tried using PasteAndFormat:
range.PasteAndFormat(WdRecoveryType.wdFormatOriginalFormatting);
... but that also gave System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800A1066): Kommandoen lykkedes ikke..
What am I doing wrong here?
EDIT: If I use Clipboard.SetText(htmlSnippet, TextDataFormat.Text); and then use plain range.Paste();, the HTML is inserted at the end of the document as intended (but with the HTML elements inserted literally, so not useful). So the general approach seems to be okay, I just can't seem to get Outlook / Word to translate the HTML.
Version info
Outlook 365 MSO 32-bit
Redemption 5.26
Since the appointment is being displayed, work with the Word Object Model - Inspector.WordEditor returns the Document Word object.
Per Dmitrys suggestion, here is a working solution that:
Shows the inserted content in the inspector window.
Handles HTML content correctly with regards to both links and formatting (as long as you stay within the limited capabilities of Words HTML engine).
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Text;
using Outlook = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook;
using Word = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;
namespace VSTO.AppendHtmlExample
{
public class MyExample
{
public void AppendAsHTMLViaFile(string content)
{
// TODO: Remember to release COM objects range and wordDoc and delete output file in a finally clause
Outlook.Inspector inspector = ...;
string outputFolderPath = ...;
string outputFilePath = Path.Combine(outputFolderPath, "append.html");
Word.Document wordDoc = inspector.WordEditor;
File.WriteAllText(outputFilePath, $"<html><head><meta charset='utf-8'/></head><body>{content}</body></html>", Encoding.UTF8);
Word.Range range = wordDoc.Content;
range.Collapse(Word.WdCollapseDirection.wdCollapseEnd);
object confirmConversions = false;
object link = false;
object attachment = false;
range.InsertFile(fileName,
ConfirmConversions: ref confirmConversions,
Link: ref link,
Attachment: ref attachment);
}
}
}
I am trying to create a dynamic menu that creates the names of the sheets in it. I dont often code and need some help. currently the code ON_Open creates a menu, creates its first item in the menu, then add a seperator and then goes into a loop. it checks how many sheets there are and starts at the first one. stores the name and makes a menu item with that name, then advances to the next sheet. gets its name and makes the next menu item. i can get the loop to work with the menu UI syntax.im not worried about the names. i will try to figure that out next,just want it to create the menus first
function onOpen() {
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var numsheets = spreadsheet.getNumSheets();
SpreadsheetApp.getUi
.createMenu('SWMS CREATER')
.addItem('Create New SWMS', 'showPrompt')
.addSeparator()
for ( var i = 0; i < numsheets.length;i++ ) {
var ui = SpreadsheetApp.getUi();
var subMenu = ui.createMenu('Test Menu');
subMenu.addItem('Test script'i ,'showPrompt');
}
}
The OP is trying to create a dynamic menu that lists each of the sheets in the spreadsheet. The OP's code is very close to working - there are just a small, but significant, number of adjustments.
function onOpen() {
var ui = SpreadsheetApp.getUi();
var menu = ui.createMenu('OPSWMS CREATER')
.addItem('Create New SWMS', 'showPrompt')
.addSeparator();
var sheetList = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheets();
var subMenu = ui.createMenu('OPTest Menu');
for (var i = 0; i < sheetList.length; i++) {
subMenu.addItem(sheetList[i].getName(), 'showPrompt');
}
menu.addSubMenu(subMenu).addToUi();
}
Summary of major differences:
1) variable ui moved out of the loop; and then re-used where possible.
2) variable menu established and also moved out of the loop. This is re-used to add the subMenu in the last line of code.
3) added a semi-colon after .addSeparator() (though optional)
4) used .getSheets() to get all the sheets. This is the first key element missing from the OP code.
5) dropped var numsheets line. You don't need this because you can get the same count on sheetList.
6) within the loop, two things to note
sheetList[i] the i in square brackets ([i]) returns the relevant item from "sheetList";
.getName() returns the name of the sheet. Combined, sheetList[i].getName() gives you the name of the sheet, and lets you add it as a menu item selection.
7) menu.addSubMenu(subMenu).addToUi(); This add the contents of the loop to the menu. This is the second key element missing from the OP code.

I have created Datagridviewcomboboxcells as follows, each of which have 2-3 items.
I'm able to see the Datagridviewcomboboxcells with the appropriate values inside the comboboxcell, but I'm not able to see the dropdown list when i click on the comboboxcell.
Should I write a separate event handler to display the dropdown list ? Does it not dropdown by default ?
Dim Dgv2cb_ColdStart As New DataGridViewComboBoxCell
Dgv2cb_ColdStart.Items.Add("C:\pd_DelAll.pl")
Dgv2cb_ColdStart.Items.Add("No Cold Start")
dgv2.Rows.Add("ColdStart")
dgv2.Rows(rowIndex).Cells(1) = Dgv2cb_ColdStart
If temp_profile.ColdStart = "" Then
dgv2.Rows(rowIndex).Cells(1).Value = Dgv2cb_ColdStart.Items(1)
Else
dgv2.Rows(rowIndex).Cells(1).Value = Dgv2cb_ColdStart.Items(0)
End If
Surprising thing is the same code on another backup of the project works, but that is an older version that i can't use now.
I'm not able to reproduce the error, as to what is causing the dropdown not to occur.
I'm trying to use two devExpress checkedComboBoxes (boxes) to maintain a list and its antilist (i.e, same items in both comboboxes, and they must be checked in only one of the lists).
I'm using C++/CLI, so for each box I handle
EditValueChanged += gcnew System::EventHandler(this, &SelectionControl::exclBox_EditValueChanged);
which calls through to
void
box_ToggleAntibox(
DevExpress::XtraEditors::CheckedComboBoxEdit^ box,
DevExpress::XtraEditors::CheckedComboBoxEdit^ antibox )
{
using namespace DevExpress::XtraEditors::Controls ;
cli::array<String ^> ^ sAnti = gcnew cli::array<String ^>(2*box->Properties->Items->Count) ;
int ii = 0;
String ^ delim = ", ";
for each (CheckedListBoxItem^ i in box->Properties->GetItems()) {
if (i->CheckState==Windows::Forms::CheckState::Unchecked)
{
sAnti[ii] = i->Value->ToString();
++ii;
sAnti[ii] = delim;
++ii;
}
}
String ^ result = String::Concat(sAnti);
antibox->EditValue = result;
}
As the devExpress documentation seems to say to set the edit value, rather than simply iterating through the box list and setting the anti-list to !Checked.
However, it doesn't seem to be working (the correct items are added to the text window, but nothing is checked). Moreover, if I look at my box after the event has finished, I find that the string value in the text window is correct (reflects what I'd selected), but if I open it up, then all items are selected.
Does anyone have any suggestions I might try?
Is it better to set each item's CheckState::Checked instead?
Thanks!
I spent some time talking to DevExpress support. The short answer is that this should work - but doesn't for us. Your mileage may vary, but our solution was to put the two comboboxes on to separate controls on the form.
I have an Infopath 2010 template with 2 buttons: submit and cancel. When the submit button is clicked I the form is saved to a document library in SharePoint 2010 and the corresponding workflow is clicked off. The user can then open the form and cancel the request by clicking on cancel. I would like to start a different workflow when cancel is clicked. Any ideas as to how that could be done?
Thanks
I have not found a method to kick off a workflow specifically from an Infopath form. I did however find a workaround; here's how I set it up:
Added a column to my list/library that will be set to true when the cancel button is selected.
In my infopath form, add my "cancel" button.
Open the control properties for the button, and select the "Rules" action. Close out of the properties dialog.
I added a fomatting rule for the cancel button so it will only display if the first workflow has started. I also disabled all other editing controls as I only wanted the cancel option to be available.
On the Control Tools contextual tab, in the Button group, click Manage Rules.
Add a new Action rule, it should run two actions: first set the value of the column we created in the first step to true; second submit data using the main data connection.
The workflow you want to run when it is cancelled should be set to run on change. As a first step, evaluate the column created above, and if true, continue the worflow. Make sure you set the value back to false so the workflow doesn't run unintentionally.
Hope that helps.
That is not a bad workaround Nostromo but we actually ended up using the out of the box SharePoint web services to start the workflow from InfoPath code behind. Here is the method we developed to do that.
public static void StartWorkflow(string siteUrl, string docUrl,string workflowName, List<string> approvers,string description)
{
var workflow = new Workflow();
workflow.Url = siteUrl+ "/_vti_bin/workflow.asmx";
workflow.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
XmlNode assocNode = workflow.GetTemplatesForItem(docUrl);
XmlNamespaceManager nsmgr = new XmlNamespaceManager(assocNode.OwnerDocument.NameTable);
nsmgr.AddNamespace("wf", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/workflow/");
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
Guid templateID = new Guid();
bool workflowFound = false;
XPathNodeIterator rows = assocNode.CreateNavigator().Select("//wf:WorkflowTemplate", nsmgr);
while (rows.MoveNext())
{
if (rows.Current.GetAttribute("Name", "").ToLower() == workflowName.ToLower())
{
doc.LoadXml(rows.Current.SelectSingleNode("wf:AssociationData/wf:string", nsmgr).Value);
XPathNavigator idNode = rows.Current.SelectSingleNode("wf:WorkflowTemplateIdSet", nsmgr);
templateID = new Guid(idNode.GetAttribute("TemplateId", ""));
workflowFound = true;
break;
}
}
if(!workflowFound)
throw new Exception("System couldn't location the workflow with name: " +workflowName);
XmlElement xmlRoot = doc.DocumentElement;
nsmgr = new XmlNamespaceManager(assocNode.OwnerDocument.NameTable);
nsmgr.AddNamespace("my", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/myXSD");
xmlRoot.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:Description", nsmgr).InnerText = description;
XmlNode reviewersNode = xmlRoot.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:Reviewers", nsmgr);
reviewersNode.InnerXml = "";
foreach (var user in approvers)
{
XmlNode personNode = reviewersNode.AppendChild(doc.CreateElement("my:Person"));
XmlNode accountIdNode = personNode.AppendChild(doc.CreateElement("my:AccountId"));
accountIdNode.InnerText = user;
XmlNode accountTypeNode = accountIdNode.AppendChild(doc.CreateElement("my:AccountType"));
accountTypeNode.InnerText = "User";
}
XmlNode workflowNode = workflow.StartWorkflow(docUrl, templateID, doc.DocumentElement);
}
