Examples

In the following example, the Import method of the IInfoPathDataImporter interface is used to iterate through the mshtml.IEnumUnknown collection of IInfoPathViewControl controls in the view of the active form.

The Import routine is the main part of a solution used to build a custom data importer. The Visual Studio project requires a reference to the Microsoft Office InfoPath 2.0 Type Library and System.Windows.Forms, with Imports statements for each as well as mshtml.Implements statements are required to generate the signatures for the methods provided by the custom data importer interfaces, including IInfoPathDataImporter, IInfoPathDataImporterFields, IInfoPathViewControl, and IPropertyBag.

Note: To build a custom data importer using a .NET class library, check the Register for COM interop check box on the Compile tab of the class properties editor.

Note: To debug a custom data importer, set a Start Action in Visual Studio to Start an external program, and browse to INFOPATH.EXE located at <drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\. This option is available on the Debug tab of the class properties editor.

Remarks

The IInfoPathViewControl interface, used in conjunction with the IInfoPathDataImporter interface, allows developers to get specific information about the controls in the view, such as the ControlType and the DataType, the Top and Left positions, the XML NodeName associated with the control, and the InputScopes(IntPtr, UInt32, IEnumString, String). The Value property is the only property that can be set.

For a list of controls that are enumerated if present in the view, see the GetControls(IEnumUnknown) method of the IInfoPathDataImporterFields interface. For a list of acceptable data types that can be used with specific controls, see the Value property of the IInfoPathViewControl interface.

For more information about programmatically importing data into an InfoPath form, see the InfoPath Developer PortalMicrosoft Office Developer Center.

Properties

DataType	Gets the data type of a control in the view.
Height	Gets the height of the current control in the enumeration.
Left	Gets the offset, from the left side of the view, of the current control in the enumeration.
NodeName	Gets the name of the node associated with the current control in the enumeration.
Top	Gets the offset, from the top of the view, of the current control in the enumeration.
Value	Gets or sets the value of the current control in the enumeration.
Width	Gets the width of the current control in the enumeration.

Methods
