Display InfoPath Forms Services Form in Custom Web Part

[Stephan van Eeden]

Hi There



I am using InfoPath forms services to render my InfoPath forms in the
browser.

Now my question is, is it possible that when a user clicks on a form in the
forms library to open that form in a custom web part on that same page so
that the user stays in the SharePoint environment.

Same applies for when they click on the new menu.



The client doesn't like the idea that when the form is rendered that it is
in a new full page and not part of SharePoint.



I read that I can use the XmlFormView web part to perform that task but I am
not sure if it is dynamic enough to cater for this need?



Thank you.

Yes you can do it using the xmlformview. Load your infopath in an xmlformview
control embedded in an aspx page and add a custom action to the menu. When
user clicks on the custom option in the menu, he will be directed to the aspx
page which will be a different page altogether but hosted in SharePoint
environment.

I will certainly give it a try.
