We have a PDF with form fields from one of our suppliers that we need to fill in, and some of those fields are radio buttons. Checkboxes seem fine, but RadioButtons we are struggling with.

They have a few groups for title (Mr,Mrs etc) and I can't get them ticks to show, even though my code returns a success for the SetFormFieldValue call.

Searching it seems I need to set the value of the field to the name of the appropriate SubName which I have tried, and which returns a 1 for SetFormFieldValue, but the boxes are never ticked on the resulting output document.

This is my code (VBA) - varValue is set to the same value as I get back from one of the GetFormFieldSubName calls so I am for instance setting the value to "2" to try and select one of the options :

'fill in a form field

Case RenderType.FormField

Select Case fld.FieldType

Case FieldType.CheckBox, FieldType.Radiobutton

intSubCount = objPDF.GetFormFieldSubCount(lngField)

For intSub = 1 To intSubCount

strSubName = objPDF.GetFormFieldSubName(lngField, intSub)

If strSubName <> "Off" Then

lngSub = objPDF.GetFormFieldKidTempIndex(lngField, intSub)

If strSubName = varValue Then

lngRes = objPDF.SetFormFieldValue(lngField, strSubName)

End If

Next

Case Else

lngRes = objPDF.SetFormFieldValue(lngField, varValue)

End Select

Many Thanks
