How to set "checked" for checkboxes

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

   Hi,

I have read that one sets the checkstate of a checkbox with the values "Yes" and "Off".
Now we have a PDF-Form where we have to set "checked" by value "Ja" (German for "Yes").

How do we find out what string is needed to check the checkbox for a certain PDF-Form?

Regards,
Josef

	Hi, it seems, this is no information one gets from the developer guide. We have password protected documents with checkboxes the “Yes-No”, “On-Off” values are replaced by values “100-Off” or others. My question is: How can we find out which value is for a certain checkbox appropriate to check/uncheck it by code. Regards, Josef

	hello, Have you tried this approach? 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("\|"); } } From this post: http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/setting-check-box-subfield-values_topic1842.html
