SetFormFieldBorderColor(Int32,GdPictureColor) Method
Sets the border color of a required form field, that is specified by its unique form field's identifier and it it related to the currently loaded PDF document. This method uses the RGB color space for specifying the required color.
Please use this method right after adding the required form field on the page, as the form field's border color attribute is not assigned automatically. Otherwise, the form field may display invisible.
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.
- BorderColor
- A color object that defines the new border color to be used for displaying a specified form field.
Return Value
A member of the GdPictureStatus enumeration. If the method has been successfully followed, then the return value is GdPictureStatus.OK.
We strongly recommend always checking this status first.
