GetFormFieldDefaultChecked(Int32) Method

In This Topic
Returns, if a required form field, here a check box, is checked by default. The check box is specified by its unique form field's identifier and it is related to the currently loaded PDF document. As said, this method is only applicable to check boxes.

If this flag is set for the specified check box, then this check box is checked by default.

Parameters

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

Return Value

true if the specified check box is checked by default, 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 check boxes, otherwise it will fail.
