MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / April 2005Hosting InfoPath within Sharepoint Forms
Hi, I've been set an interesting challenge. Our client is adamant that they want the InfoPath forms to appear inline within the Sharepoint pages. So far I've seen people saying that it can't be done, but I have to try :-) One suggestion I've had is to write a .Net wrapper for infoPath and then use some special magic .Net doobrey (which I know very little about) to host the wrapper, and therefore InfoPath, in IE. I think this is similar to the way we can host ActiveX controls (which could be an entrie application) in IE. So is this a feasible solution? If so then does anyone have any pointers for me? Any other suggestions very gratefully received of course :-) Thanks. Sean There are a few aftermarket apps which simulate InfoPath as online web-based forms... this is about as close as you will get. Sorry to disappoint.  SignatureGreg Collins [InfoPath MVP] Please visit: http://www.InfoPathDev.com Hi, I've been set an interesting challenge.

By the way we've managed to get InfoPath appearing inline within a web page in IE, basically by setting the InfoPath window's parent to a user control, which we then insert into the page. It works, but I'd like to find a better solution if possible. Thanks.

Sean You can check www.infoview.net Also here is an article on how to save InfoView forms (ie InfoPath forms converted to asp.net forms) to a Sharepoint library: http://eforms.blogs.com/blog/2005/04/saving_infoview.html Thanks, I'll check that out. We'll probably go for hosting InfoPath within an I-Frame for now as that seems to work pretty well, but it's always useful to have options :-) Sean > You can check www.infoview.net > > Also here is an article on how to save InfoView forms (ie InfoPath forms > converted to asp.net forms) to a Sharepoint library: > > http://eforms.blogs.com/blog/2005/04/saving_infoview.html |
