Setting RadioButton values

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   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
                                        End If
                                    Next
                                Case Else
                                    lngRes = objPDF.SetFormFieldValue(lngField, varValue)
                            End Select

Many Thanks
