Introduction

The Windows Forms Interaction Provider uses windowed user interface on Microsoft Windows operating systems for user input and output.

QuickOPC uses the Windows Forms Interaction Provider whenever the Environment.UserInteractive Property returns true, and the OpcLabs.EasyOpcForms assembly can be loaded (which is usually achieved by simply referencing it in your project).

Despite the "Windows Forms" in its name, this interaction provider can also be used in applications that are not based on Windows Forms - for example, in WPF applications, or in applications under COM platform. It is even possible to use it in console applications, in which case the console interaction of your application will be combined with graphical UI pop-ups from the Windows Forms Interaction Provider.
