added to the specified form field, it means they are not sorted in any way. Be aware that this method is only applicable to choice form field objects.
Syntax
Parameters
- FieldId
- A unique form field identifier specifying a required form field object. You can obtain this identifier using these methods: GdPicturePDF.AddComboFormField, GdPicturePDF.AddListFormField, GdPicturePDF.GetFormFieldId or GdPicturePDF.GetFormFieldChildID.
- Text
- A text string to be displayed in the form field as the name of the newly added form field's item. It represents the form field's value.
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.
