Display drop down items based on previous selected value in infopath

Question

I am trying to do one thing in sharepoint.

Student should select the Highest Qualification. In Highest qualification I am showing 3 values such as:

• Post Graduation,
• Graduation,
• Under Graduation

In another field I want to show all courses for the selected qualification level. How can I achieve this. Do I need to do this in code, or could it all be done in the InfoPath form?

Answer 1

You need to make cascading combobox. You can filter your comboboxes which field u want to.

1.Right click combobox u want to filter

2.Select combobox properties

3.Below datasource list, click the box next to the entries field.

4.You can filter your comboboxes from here.

Answer 2

In InfoPath 2010 there are Rules, what you can do is make 3 controls for each of the selection and on each control create a Rule to show/hide when the field Highest Selection has certain value... Following link should be helpful
