GetFormFieldDoNotSpellCheck Method (GdPicturePDF)

In This Topic

Returns, if the DoNotSpellCheck flag of a required form field, hereabout a text field or an editable combo box, is set. The required form field object is specified by its unique form field's identifier and it is related to the currently loaded PDF document. As stated, this flag is only specific to text fields and editable combo boxes, so this method is explicitly applicable to text and combo box form field objects.

If this flag is set, then text entered in the form field is not spell-checked.

'Declaration
 
Public Function GetFormFieldDoNotSpellCheck( _
   ByVal FieldId As Integer _
) As Boolean

public bool GetFormFieldDoNotSpellCheck( 
   int FieldId
)

public function GetFormFieldDoNotSpellCheck( 
    FieldId: Integer
): Boolean;

public function GetFormFieldDoNotSpellCheck( 
   FieldId : int
) : boolean;

public: bool GetFormFieldDoNotSpellCheck( 
   int FieldId
)

public:
bool GetFormFieldDoNotSpellCheck( 
   int FieldId
)

Parameters

FieldId: A unique form field identifier specifying a required form field object. You can obtain this identifier using methods like GdPicturePDF.GetFormFieldId, GdPicturePDF.GetFormFieldChildID or methods intended to add form fields.

Return Value

true if the DoNotSpellCheck flag of the specified form field is set, otherwise false. The GdPicturePDF.GetStat method can be subsequently used to determine if this method has been successful.

Remarks

This method is only allowed for use with non-encrypted documents.

It is recommend to use the GdPicturePDF.GetStat method to identify the specific reason for the method's failure, if any.

Just to remind you that this method is only meaningful for text fields and editable combo boxes, otherwise it will fail.
