How can I bind a listbox to a schema? What should the structure look like? The list box will have multiple selections.

Hi Aditya,
I've used a schema element like;
<xs:element name="multiSelectListBox">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="value" type="xs:int" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
The trick I found was in the binding, if you use designer you will get a binding expression like;
$.multiSelectListBox.value[*]
But what I needed to do was manually remove the ".value[*]" so my binding expression was;
$.multiSelectListBox
So I think you have to use a repeating schema element named "value" for it to work, but that fits in with my naming style so have not played with that.
Good luck

It worked!
How did you figure this out? Thank you for helping.

Took a good bit of 'randon programming', though it does kind of make sense, I would call this is a bug in Designer.
Anyway glad to hear it worked.

I have one more hurdle... In the process, I am using to merge that XML with another form and the element will be bound to a textfield.
Below are the binding scenarios I tried...
1) $record.element.value[*] - This only gave the first value
2) $record.element - I get a binding error
I am thinking, the only way will be to get the values from the XML programmatically.
Thanks!

Hi Aditya,
I don't think you will have much luck binding a nodelist to a textbox. You could try going into the XML Source and finding "element" under under the <dd:dataDescription> node, it should have an attribute xfa:dataNode="dataGroup" which you could change to xfa:dataNode="dataValue". As long as there is no other xfa:dataNode="dataGroup" under the "element" one, that will fix your binding error you are getting with the second approach you tried, might not look that pretty though.
I assume this is for display only? So I would probably go with some scripting. You could also look at using XSLT and I did post a very simple example of using XSLT in the Cookbooks, http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Numbering_rows_in_a_LiveCycle_Designer_table_or_re-18443.html, which might get you started.
Good luck.
