GetFormFieldItemCommit Method (GdPicturePDF)

In This Topic

Returns, if the CommitOnSelChange flag of a required form field, hereabout a choice field, is set. The required form field 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 choice fields, so this method is explicitly applicable to combo box and list box form field objects.

If this flag set, the new value is committed as soon as a selection is made with the pointing device. This option enables applications to perform an action once a selection is made, without requiring the user to exit the field. If this flag is not set, the new value is not committed until the user exits the field.

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

public bool GetFormFieldItemCommit( 
   int FieldId
)

public function GetFormFieldItemCommit( 
    FieldId: Integer
): Boolean;

public function GetFormFieldItemCommit( 
   FieldId : int
) : boolean;

public: bool GetFormFieldItemCommit( 
   int FieldId
)

public:
bool GetFormFieldItemCommit( 
   int FieldId
)

Parameters

FieldId: A unique form field identifier specifying a required form field object. You can obtain this identifier using these methods: GdPicturePDF.AddComboFormField, GdPicturePDF.AddComboFormField, GdPicturePDF.GetFormFieldId or GdPicturePDF.GetFormFieldChildID.

Return Value

true if the CommitOnSelChange flag of the specified choice 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 choice form fields, that means for combo boxes or list boxes, otherwise it will fail.
