  Hi Gennady,

  We can make connections before the custom list form and list view web part directly, and following are the detail steps:

  1. Custom list form in InfoPath > Publish.

  2. Browser to New Item page, by default, it should be

  http://server/site/Lists/list name/Item/newifs.aspx

  3. Add the list (list view web part) to the newifs.aspx page.

  4. Make connections between them:

  Edit page > Click the triangle on the right top of the InfoPath Form Web Part > Connections > Get Data From > list view web part > Provider Field Name: a field in list view web part > Consumer Field Name: column in InfoPath Form web part > Finish.

  5. Save the change.

  Let me know if you have any question.

  Thanks & Regards,
  Emir

  Thanks, Emir!
  I see. It is useful trick and even kbow-how but it is a workaround.

  I need this for elaboration of more complex web page.

  So,  the immediate subquestions are:

  • How to make a web page with Infopath form web parts rendering in all 3 modes/types:
    • New/Create, 
    • Display/View, 
    • Edit/Update 

  
  - of the same item list?

  - and of different lists?

  Hi Gennady,

  From your description, I know that you need to put New, Edit and Display InfoPath Form in a page together. We can create the page, then copy the InfoPath Form Web Parts from newifs.aspx, editifs.aspx and displayifs.aspx in SharePoint Designer to the new page.

  Let me know if you have any further question.

  Thanks & Regards,
  Emir

  Hi, Emir, Thanks again for guiding me to demistify ISarepoint's 2010 interaction with Infopath forms. I would say that I want more to put both New Infopath form from the same list view because Edit is used and only available Infopath item form and view are usually presented in entry of a list web page any way. So, the question is how to show both New and Edit or even just New Infopth form. BTW, I'd like to understand also how to switch the same IP form from one view to another. So, upon copying Infopath form web part from from newifs.aspx into another ASPX web page the latter gives the error in run-time (running in browser)

  • Error 

    Form control does not have ControlMode set. 

    Troubleshoot issues with Microsoft SharePoint Foundation. 

    Correlation ID: 09903e1f-da8e-4164-9f06-111d9ec01733 
    Go back to site

  And the link "Troubleshoot issues with Microsoft SharePoint Foundation" shows the pop-up dialog box message:
  

  • Do you want to view only the webpage content that was delivered securely?
    This webpage contains content that will not be delivered using a secure HTTPS connection, which could compromise the security of the entire webpage

  And upon pressing "Yes" I get:

    What you can try:
      Retype the address.

  Hi Gennady,

  After copied the InfoPath Form Web Part to a web part page, when we need to view it in browser, we need to also add some query string behind the URL. Here is an example:

  1. Copy Edit InfoPath Form to the page.
  2. Browser to the list and open edit a list in the InfoPath Edit Form, then the URL should be:

  http://server/site/Lists/list name/Item/editifs.aspx?List=19012b22%2D5f89%2D4a3e%2Db06e%2D16e96dcd3c35&ID=1&Source=http%3A%2F%2Fserver%2Fsite%2FLists%2Flistname89%252D4a3e%252Db06e%252D16e96dcd3c35%26ID%3D1%26ContentTypeId%3D0x01006BA1D7ECBDE43842ACF6938C5581F3DB%26PageView%3DShared%26InitialTabId%3DRibbon%2EWebPartPage%26VisibilityContext%3DWSSWebPartPage&Web=ef88cf5d%2Dca28%2D46c7%2D83ae%2D0fcc8c7231a3

  Copy all the string after "editifs.aspx"

  3. Add the string after the web part page you created, then the error will go away and you will be able to edit the item in the web part page. And acturally, we are only need 2 query string parameters: ../web part page.aspx?List={list GUID}&ID={item ID}

  There is only one view in the custom list form, it is Edit Item view, this view will use to both create, edit and display items. We can open the InfoPath Form Web Parts of these 3 forms in SharePoint Designer and swith to code view, we can see that only the "ListFormMode" property has changed. In EditForm and NewForm, it is "Editable", In display form, it is "readonly". And there is no difference between new form and edit form. When there is no ID query string in editifs.aspx, it will create a new item, and when there is a ID query string in newifs.aspx, it will update that item instead of creating a new item.
  So the only differnce it the "ListFormMode" property. You can use JavaScript to change this property in the page or add the 3 forms to a page and add asp buttons to the page to control the visibilities of the 3 forms in JavaScript to change the views.

  Thanks & Regards,
  Emir

  Wow, thanks again, Emir!
  I need to show new item IP form for a child (aka slave aka detail) list with preset lookup field received from parent (master) list on selecting an itenm there. As well as edit item IP form
  I had no difficulties to do it in Sharepoint Designer 2010 (SPD 2010) fornon-Infopath forms without any code, just using GUI 
  
  But my employer insists me to do it using Infopath forms that is believed as more codeless approach.
  
  I just do not grasp:
  what's for the Infopath Web Part properties pop-up dialog that has "Views:" drop-down list with always the only choice:

  • Edit item (default)

  if to access IP form properties in SPD 2010.
  In through browser, there is no choice at all, just blank list (and inactive drop down list)!

  Is it a bug or by design?
  

  Now, I am failing to follow any of your workarounds

  For my ChildList list, I created infopath forms by clicking "Customize Form: and in opened Infopath Designer 2010 "Quick Publish"

  In SPD2010, I create a web page by choosing on ribbon "Web Part Page" --> "Header, Left column,  Body"
  

  Placed on a 2-column web part page, in the left column  the WebPartPages:XsltListViewWebPart for a child list by:
  

  • clicking Insert on ribbon --> "Data View"  --> ve chosen ChildList from drop-down list
    

  Navigated to web page in browser and clicked Site Actions --> Edit Page --> on design surface, in the right column I clicked "Add a Web Part Page" --> Forms --> Infopath Form Web Part --> Add

  (Or inserted the Infopath From Web Partand followed the same as below  in SPD 2010 - the results, i.e. errors,  are exactly the same!!!) 

  Clicked  the drop-down list small arrow "Infopath Form Web Part menu"(from pop-up caption) in the upper right corner  of the "Infopath Form Web Part"  --> Connections --->   
  
  If, further, I choose "Get Data From", then I am getting the error :

  • "No Consumer Schema"
    Cancel

  so I am to choose the only available option "Get Form From"
  

  The same is for a seconf inserted Infopath Form Web Part

  So, I wonder whether I should pursue in choosing "Get Data From" if it always gives error?  
  And what is its  difference with choosing "Get Form From" option

  Hi Gennady,

  ControlMode property is a property of Form Field in ASP Custom New/Edit/Display Form Web Part, but not a property of InfoPath Form Web Part. So I think there should be some problem in another web part in your page. Could you please create a empty page and the InfoPath Form web part there to test it?

  When the InfoPath Form Web Part is added from browser, it is a form can only be used to create new item. It you need a edit form, please copy the default web part from editifs.aspx page.

  Thanks & Regards,
  Emir

  Hello, Emir,

  ooops, I reproduced, what I wrote above, dozens, dozens and dozens of times from scratch, creating and recreating forms, aspx webpart pages and lists.
  
  I am shocked to know that this is completely different for another person.

  That Infopath web form renders itself in edit mode getting a selected item fom list view on webparts connection by "Get Fotm From" (rather without any other choice) also in book [1, p.169-170] in section  entitled:

  • Use the Edit Form on the List Page
    Scenario/Problem: You do not want the user to have to navigate to a separate
    page or dialog to edit a list item
    

  with the best reference to this excerpt that I could find in safaribooksonline requiring subscription
