GdPicture14 Namespace / GdPicturePDF Class / GetFormFieldReadOnly Method
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.
Example





In This Topic
GetFormFieldReadOnly Method (GdPicturePDF)
In This Topic
Returns, if the ReadOnly flag of a required form field is set. The form field is specified by its unique form field's identifier and it is related to the currently loaded PDF document.

If this flag is set, then the user may not change the value of the field. Likewise, the field will not interact with the user in any way, for example, it will not respond to mouse clicks or mouse motion, etc.

Syntax
'Declaration
 

Public Function GetFormFieldReadOnly( _
   ByVal FieldId As Integer _
) As Boolean
public bool GetFormFieldReadOnly( 
   int FieldId
)
public function GetFormFieldReadOnly( 
    FieldId: Integer
): Boolean; 
public function GetFormFieldReadOnly( 
   FieldId : int
) : boolean;
public: bool GetFormFieldReadOnly( 
   int FieldId
) 
public:
bool GetFormFieldReadOnly( 
   int FieldId
)

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.

Return Value

true if the ReadOnly flag of the specified 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.
