The Ws.Assignment control (see below) is a better way of displaying the Winshuttle History inside the form as it processes.

The information displayed is task or node-specific. For each task to be displayed, a Ws.Assignment Control must be made.

The following example shows the history for each approval task (Manager Approval, CEO Approval, and Purchasing Approval)

NOTE: In order for Workflow Participant Comments to appear in the history, you must have the Ws.ProcessControl or Ws.Comment Control in your form.
