Remarks

InfoPath extracts the form template that is currently open in design mode to the temporary folder specified by the

srcPath

parameter and passes the path to the manifest.xsf file in this folder. All files that were present in the .xsn file for the form template will be found in the same folder as the manifest.xsf file.

If the converter does not support exporting, this method should return E_NOTIMPL.

This interface, object, member or enumeration is provided by the InfoPath design environment. A reference must be set to the Microsoft Office InfoPath Designer 2.0 Type Library, located at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\IPDESIGN.DLL.

This object or member is used for extending the InfoPath application and is not intended to be used directly from your form code.
