Public Function SetFormFieldAction( _

   ByVal FieldId As Integer, _

   ByVal ActionID As Integer _

) As GdPictureStatus

public GdPictureStatus SetFormFieldAction( 

   int FieldId,

   int ActionID

)

public function SetFormFieldAction( 

    FieldId: Integer;

    ActionID: Integer

): GdPictureStatus;

public function SetFormFieldAction( 

   FieldId : int,

   ActionID : int

) : GdPictureStatus;

public: GdPictureStatus SetFormFieldAction( 

   int FieldId,

   int ActionID

)

public:

GdPictureStatus SetFormFieldAction( 

   int FieldId,

   int ActionID

)

Parameters

FieldId: A unique form field identifier specifying a required form field object. You can obtain this identifier using methods like GetFormFieldId, GetFormFieldChildID or methods intended to add form fields.
ActionID: A unique action identifier specifying a required action object. You can obtain this identifier when creating an action, for example, using the NewActionGoTo(PdfDestinationType,Int32,Single,Single,Single,Single,Single), NewActionGoToR(PdfDestinationType,String,Boolean,Int32,Single,Single,Single,Single,Single), NewActionLaunch, NewActionJavaScript, NewActionNamed or NewActionURI methods.

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.

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

Also be aware that at this time it is not supported by the toolkit to add multiple actions per one form field.
