InfoPath Pop-Up Window

Question

I have a custom Web Part that displays information in an ASP.NET ListView. Upon clicking an item, I need to pop up an InfoPath form via AJAX to edit the item without leaving the page.

The functionality I am going for is the same as if you click "Edit" on an item in a SharePoint List. The background fades out and the InfoPath form is shown as a modal pop-up. I know how to achieve the background fading, but I am running into a dead end with trying to host an InfoPath form outside of the standard InfoPath web part.

Does anyone have any experience with hosting an IP form without using the pre-made webpart (or XmlFormView, which seems to just be another web part), or know where any information can be found?

Thanks!

Answer 1

You could have an iframe which loads the FormService.aspx file pointing to your form, with the relavent querystring parms to display the form in the browser.

Answer 2

Could you accomplish the functionality that you need using a DVWP and enabling the inline edit functionality?
