SharePoint No-Coding: Custom values for view form

This is the second post from ‘No-Coding Solutions’ series. The first post showed you how to open any InfoPath form on a custom SharePoint web part page. In this post will show you how to customize display form for a list, and more specific – how to customize display value for a field.
The specific task I had is to show ‘No (click edit to modify)’ or ‘Yes (click edit to modify)’ as display value for a Boolean field when item is in read-only mode. As you know, Boolean fields are usually displayed as a checkbox in InfoPath forms. Of course, you can modify the control type to drop-down, radio buttons, text box, and other. But the type of control you select will be used across all views of the SharePoint form – new, edit and display. In my case I needed to have a checkbox for edit and new, and a simple text for display.

SharePoint No-Coding: Open any InfoPath Form

On the latest project I was working, had to develop a SharePoint solution by using only InfoPath and SharePoint designer as development tools. Well, at first felt a bit upset, still I am a developer, and someone just took away my most favorite toy – VisualStudio. After a while, accepted the situation as a new challenge and this made things look better. In this, and the posts that will follow will try to cover some interesting moments from the development process on a no-coding solution for SharePoint 2010.
