InfoPath 2010 Form Load for SharePoint 2010 Lists

Question

I'm using InfoPath 2010 to customize the View and Edit options of a SharePoint 2010 list. The view and edit pages, therefore, are displayifs.aspx and editifs.aspx.

I have a Form Load operation in InfoPath 2010 that I only want to run when the Edit option (from the SharePoint List) is used, however, it currently runs when either both the View or Edit options are selected. Is there a way to force the InfoPath Form Load to only function when the user Edit's the list item?

Answer 1

I found a way to get what I needed. If anyone is interested, here is what I did.

1. Added a boolean list item
2. Selected "(Item) Display Form" from List Tools > List> Customize > Modify Form Web Parts > Content Type Forms
3. Added a Query String (URL) Filter Web Part
4. Created a paramenter name and a default value (can be either "true" or "false")
5. Sent the value from the Query String (URL) Filter Web Part to the InfoPath Form Web Part using the list item I created in step 1
6. Repeated steps 2-5 for the "(Item) Edit Form", but use the opposite default value
7. Customized form with InfoPath (List Tools > List> Customize > Customize Form)
8. Used the values on the "Form Load" functionality to control variables using the value sent from the Query String (URL) Filter Web Part
