GetFormFieldChecked(Int32,Int32) Method

In This Topic

Returns, if a required form field, here a child radio button in a group, is checked, in other words, if it's checked state is On. The radio button is specified by its unique form field's identifier and it is related to the currently loaded PDF document. As said, this method is only applicable to radio buttons.

Public Overloads Function GetFormFieldChecked( _
   ByVal FieldId As Integer, _
   ByVal ChildIdx As Integer _
) As Boolean

public bool GetFormFieldChecked( 
   int FieldId,
   int ChildIdx
)

public function GetFormFieldChecked( 
    FieldId: Integer;
    ChildIdx: Integer
): Boolean;

public function GetFormFieldChecked( 
   FieldId : int,
   ChildIdx : int
) : boolean;

public: bool GetFormFieldChecked( 
   int FieldId,
   int ChildIdx
)

public:
bool GetFormFieldChecked( 
   int FieldId,
   int ChildIdx
)

Parameters

FieldId: A unique form field identifier specifying a required form field object. You can obtain this identifier using these methods: GdPicturePDF.AddRadioButtonFormField, GdPicturePDF.GetFormFieldId or GdPicturePDF.GetFormFieldChildID.
ChildIdx: The index of the required child radio button in a group. It must be a value from 0 to GdPicturePDF.GetFormFieldChildCount-1.
It is simply a sequence index of a radio button in a group, it does not correspond to the unique form field's identifier.

Return Value

true if the specified child radio button in a group is checked (it's checked state is On), otherwise false.

Remarks

This method is only allowed for use with non-encrypted documents.

It is recommend to use the GdPicturePDF.GetStat method to identify the specific reason for the method's failure, if any.

Just to remind you that this method is only meaningful for radio buttons, otherwise it will fail.
