How can I use one (or more) of the fields that I get as output from my view to fill in the embedded form? In my case I want to take the body of a node (the views query result) and use that as input in a vef form field. Is there an easy way to do this?

OK, so trial and error (lots of print_r) made me understand more about the forms api. The trick was to use $row as input to my form declaration. Here's my solution:

function my_test_my_form(&$form_state, $row) {

  $form['post'] = array(
    '#type' => 'textarea',
    '#default_value' => trim($row->node_revisions_body),
  );

  $form['submit'] = array(
    '#type' => 'submit',
    '#value' => 'Submit'
  );
 
  return $form;
}

Thank you escore. Your solution solved my issue of retrieving variables in other cells within the row. Thank you very much for posting your solution.
