I'm writing a SmartClient application in C# using VS2005 that will use
Infopath forms to collect data input from the user. I'd like to design the
app so that it looks like an Outlook bar down the left side of the page, and
when selecting items in the bar, have an Infopath form open up in the right
side of the form. So far, I haven't found a way to embed the Infopath form in
the Windows form. Infopath forms seem to always open in their own window. Is
it possible to confine an Infopath form to a Windows form?

Hi Alan,

In Office 12 we are making the InfoPath editor hostable to work just like
you describe. The currently released version in Office 2003 is not hostable.
The public Office 12 beta will be out later this year so I hope you have a
chance to try the InfoPath hosting and give us your feedback.

Cheers,
== Eric
