Code behind or more? info path toolkit?

[MMJ]

Hi,
i have worked on VSTO 2005, and completely customized excel 2003, catched
all the event like, double click on a cell etc and responded in a custom
fashion to all of these events, for the purpose of achieving the task at
hand! in other words, Excel was run inside a shell, where i was able to
control all the actions?

i wanted to know if it is possible ... using InfoPath Toolkit for VS 2005
.... to achieve the same outcome? for example, i'd like to catch the control
drop event, or save form event or for that matter... any other event related
to the infopath application??? in other words .. is it possible to pull a
shell over infopath so as to customize it and behave differently on itz
events and intercept the xml generated by it???

and promptly reply will b greatly appreciated

Hi

I have no personal experience of this but do know that Managed Code can be
run from within Infopath and custom tools can be added. As to changing the
way infopath behaves it matters more that the .xsn is created as the template
file which will instantiate the .XML file. I am guessing but as it is part
of Office i would think it is very customsiable.

Sorry could not give a definite answer but hope this helps.

Cheers Adam

You can only use the available events. See the InfoPath help for a list of available events.
