Loading data from database into pdf form and vice versa
Hello,
I recently started to develop a module in c# that has to load data from a database to pdf forms and vice versa. My problem is, that I'm able to set values in checkbox buttons but I have no idea howto set the value in a radio button. Please send me some sample code that shows howto set/get values in radio buttons and combo/list boxes.
Regards
Bernhard

Re: Loading data from database into pdf form and vice versa
Hello Bernhard,
It seems that the IPXC_FormField::CheckWidget method was not implemented to the full extent so it could not check the Radio Button. I've updated it and now it should work (the fix will be available in the next official release 319). To get checked value of the radio\checkbox use the IsItemSelected method.
As for the Lists\ComboBoxes - the InsertOptRecord (this allows adding elements) was not working when the List\Combo contained 0 elements - fixed that (also in the next release). To get values from the List\Combo use the GetOpt method.
Cheers,
Alex

Re: Loading data from database into pdf form and vice versa
Hello Alex,
Thank you for your help. The "nightly build" didn't solve my problems.
Let's say there is a field of radio buttons like the following:
---
FieldType: Button
FieldName: RadioButtonFieldName
FieldFlags: 49152
FieldValue:
FieldJustification: Left
FieldStateOption: 0
FieldStateOption: 1
FieldStateOption: 2
FieldStateOption: Off
---
How can I get the list of value options ( 0, 1, 2, Off )?
How can I set the button to value "2"?

This code works for me:
Code: Select all
IPXC_FormField ff = CoreDoc.AcroForm.GetFieldByName("RadioButtonFieldName");
ff.CheckWidget(2, true); //checks 2 radio button
//ff.ClearSelection(); //will remove all of the selections

Re: Loading data from database into pdf form and vice versa
How can I get the list of value options ( "0", "1", "2", "Off" )?
These option values vary from field to field because the pdf forms are created manually. Enumerations like "A", "B", "C", "Off" are possible, two.
I have to determine the index in the list if I want to call CheckWidget( index, true ),

Re: Loading data from database into pdf form and vice versa
Hello Alex,
To my mind it would be sufficient to set the name property of a widget in the list of widgets of a radiobutton. Looping through the list of widgets would be sufficient to determine the index. Is'nt that a solution.
Thanks Bernhard

Hello Bernhard,
Here's the code snippet:
Also, please read the 12.7.4.2.4 Radio buttons topic of the PDF specification.
Cheers,
Alex
Here's the code snippet:
Code: Select all
PDFXEdit.IPXC_FormField ff = pdfCtl.Doc.CoreDoc.AcroForm.GetFieldByName("RadioButtonFieldName");
if (ff != null)
{
for (uint i = 0; i < ff.WidgetsCount; i++)
{
PDFXEdit.IPXC_Annotation wd = ff.Widget[i];
string sValue = wd.OnValue;
}
ff.CheckWidget(2, true);
}
Cheers,
Alex
