VSTO and InfoPath

[Guest]

Hi,
can I use VSTO to manipulate the layout of InfoPath in design mode?
I need to write my own controls that contains some predefined logic and the
user just drags these controls into the form without writing much code or
adding too many conditions and Rules.
I might be asking too much from VSTO but it will be excellent if such
customization exists out there.

Any idea?

thx.

Hey Sam,
Sounds like you want to develop an ActiveX control to extend the InfoPath
functionality.
The only limitation with this is that the ActiveX controls can't be used in
the web based versions of the forms.

Hi Ben,
If i am going to develop an Active X, i won't be able to run it in design
mode right?
What i want to do is to have some kind of customization on the design level.
In MS Word for example when you use VSTO you can customize Ribbons.
But word is a different story because there is no design time and run time
like InfoPath.

thnx.
