InfoPathControl.Init Method

InfoPath Developer Reference

Defines a method that must be provided by the developer to perform any initialization routines required when an instance of the control is added to a Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007 form template.

Version Information
 Version Added:  InfoPath 2003

Syntax

expression.Init(pControlSite)

expression   An expression that returns a InfoPathControl object.

Parameters

Name Required/Optional Data Type Description
pControlSite Required InfoPathControlSite An instance of the InfoPathControlSite object.

Return Value
[HRESULT]

Remarks

InfoPath calls the Init method when a user adds an instance of the control to a view. InfoPath passes an instance of the InfoPathControlSite object to the Init method when the control is initialized. The InfoPathControlSite object provides the Node property that provides access to the XML DOM node to which the control is bound, and the XDocument property for accessing the XDocument object associated with a form, which in turn provides access to the full InfoPath object model.

The InfoPathControl and InfoPathControlSite objects and their associated methods and properties are designed to be used only from the implementation of an ActiveX control. These objects and their members are not supported in InfoPath form template code. For more information on how to create ActiveX controls that work with InfoPath, see the InfoPath Developer Center.
