GetFormFieldDoNotScroll Method (GdPicturePDF)

In This Topic
Returns, if the DoNotScroll flag of a required form field, here a text field, is set. The text 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 text fields, so this method is explicitly applicable to text form field objects.

If this flag is set, then the text field does not scroll to include more text than fits within its rectangle. Once the field is full, no further text is accepted.

Syntax
'Declaration

 

Public Function GetFormFieldDoNotScroll( _

   ByVal FieldId As Integer _

) As Boolean
public bool GetFormFieldDoNotScroll( 

   int FieldId

)
public function GetFormFieldDoNotScroll( 

    FieldId: Integer

): Boolean; 
public function GetFormFieldDoNotScroll( 

   FieldId : int

) : boolean;
public: bool GetFormFieldDoNotScroll( 

   int FieldId

) 
public:

bool GetFormFieldDoNotScroll( 

   int FieldId

) 

Parameters

FieldId
A unique form field identifier specifying a required form field object. You can obtain this identifier using these methods: AddTextFormField(Single,Single,Single,Single,String,String,Boolean,String,Single,Byte,Byte,Byte), GetFormFieldId or GetFormFieldChildID.

Return Value

true if the DoNotScroll flag of the specified text field is set, otherwise false. The 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 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, otherwise it will fail.
