Managed Code - Taskpane

[vb6dev2003]

Hi,

Can you call managed code from the taskpane? If yes how?

Thanks

The "extension" object lets you do this. However, your solution needs to be
fully trusted.

Yep,

This example (in C#) inserts data from the taskpane (a selected table
row) into the InfoPath document:

1) Create this function in your FormCode.cs file:

public void InsertLoanSchedule(double TotalMonthlyPay, double
TotalLoanAd)
{
//Add your code here to update xml nodes in xDocument
}

2) In your taskpane htm file add the following function (in the script
tag):

function InsertLoanData(objLoan)
{

window.external.Window.XDocument.Extension.InsertLoanSchedule(objLoan.TotalMonthlyPay,
objLoan.TotalLoanAd);
}

3) Call the function from your html item (eg table row) - a double
click event in this example:

<tr id="item6" TotalLoanAd="3500.00" TotalMonthlyPay="169.7"
AnnualRate="15" onDblClick="InsertLoanData(this)">
<td unselectable="on" width="109">3500.00</td>
<td unselectable="on" width="412">169.7</td>
</tr>

Voila!!

Another way, if you can't have the form fully trusted, create an event
handler on a node inside InfoPath (managed code), and change the value of
the node from the task pane (the script), that will trigger the managed code
in the event handler.
