Can I create app that displays/edit electronic forms ?

I'm trying to create an application that can display electronic forms.
See this to get an idea: http://www.primarysoftware.com/visiform_filler_tour1.htm

The main feature is that the application should allow in-place editing of the form fields, good rendering quality, and be able to zoom in/out within the form.

If wxpython or wxwindows can't do this, does anybody know how to do it?

Thanks!

There is no built-in support for that, but it should be doable. One way would be to have a way to define precise locations and sizes of the editable areas of the form, and then make a custom control that displays the form in a scrollable window as a background image and handles the keybord events, allowing movement from field to field, keyboard entry, and drawing of the entered text on the background image.
