Cheers Andrew,

Here is some code I use to display the possible sub field values required for setting check box and radio boxes.

for (int i = 1; i <= QP.FormFieldCount(); i++)

{

string title = QP.GetFormFieldTitle(i);

string hint = QP.GetFormFieldDescription(i);

string s = QP.GetFormFieldValue(i);

int type = QP.GetFormFieldType(i);

if (type == 3 || type == 4) // Radio or CheckBox

{

int sc = QP.GetFormFieldSubCount(i);

for (int j = 1; j <= sc; j++)

{

string sfn = QP.GetFormFieldSubName(i, j);

textBox1.AppendText(sfn);

if (j != sc)

textBox1.AppendText("|");

}

Hi Rowan,

Thanks for your reply, was pulled of the project for a week or so and this is the first chance I have had to get back to it!!

Finally found out that the sub field names are in actual fact the values I need to send to turn then checkbox on - for instance under the question for Sex, there are 2 sub fields Male and Female, to check the Male check, I use PDFLibrary.SetFormFieldValue PDFLibrary.FindFormFieldByTitle("partc q5"), "male"

Slightly confusing but got there in the end!!

Cheers

Stuart

Hi Stuart,

Can you try using "Yes" with SetFormFieldValue instead of "On"?

PDFLibrary.SetFormFieldValue(subFieldIndex, "Yes")

I did a quick test and Yes works for me but On does not.

Cheers,

- Rowan.

Hi Folks,

I am currently reviewing QuickPDF for our company, we are looking to automatically fill in H&S forms.

For some reason I am unable to set the value of any of the check boxes on the form.

I have been using the following code to confirm the subfields within VB6

        For loopcounter = 1 To PDFLibrary.FormFieldCount
            currentFieldName = PDFLibrary.GetFormFieldTitle(loopcounter)
            If PDFLibrary.GetFormFieldType(loopcounter) = 4 Then
                If PDFLibrary.GetFormFieldKidCount(loopcounter) > 1 Then
                    Debug.Print PDFLibrary.GetFormFieldKidCount(loopcounter)
                    For subCounter = 2 To PDFLibrary.GetFormFieldKidCount(loopcounter) + 1
                        subFieldIndex = PDFLibrary.GetFormFieldSubTempIndex(loopcounter, subCounter)
                        subFieldName = PDFLibrary.GetFormFieldSubName(loopcounter, subCounter)
                        PDFLibrary.SetFormFieldValue(subFieldIndex, "On"
                    Next

                End If
            End If
        Next

I get a valid sub field index, and I can use this to verify that the subfield default value is "Off", I can also use the index to confirm that the subfield is of type 4 for a check box, however when I use the same value to try and set the field using

PDFLibrary.SetFormFieldValue(subFieldIndex, "On")

I get a return value of 0 which seems to mean the library cannot find the field specified?

Is anyone able to share some code where this works?

Kind Regards

Stuart
