GdPicture.NET.14
GdPicture14 Namespace / GdPicturePDF Class / GetFormFieldRotation 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
GetFormFieldRotation Method (GdPicturePDF)
In This Topic
Returns the counterclockwise rotation, in degrees, of a specified form field, relative to the page, where the form field is located. The required form field is specified by its unique form field's identifier and it is related to the currently loaded PDF document. The resulting value is always a multiple of 90.
Syntax
'Declaration
 

Public Function GetFormFieldRotation( _
   ByVal FieldId As Integer _
) As Integer
public int GetFormFieldRotation( 
   int FieldId
)
public function GetFormFieldRotation( 
    FieldId: Integer
): Integer; 
public function GetFormFieldRotation( 
   FieldId : int
) : int;
public: int GetFormFieldRotation( 
   int FieldId
) 
public:
int GetFormFieldRotation( 
   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

The number of degrees by which the specified form field is rotated counterclockwise relative to the page. The default value is 0. 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.

Example
How to rotate each check box in the current document upside down.
