Examples

Shows how insert different kinds of form fields into a document, and process them with using a document visitor implementation.

public void Visitor()
{
    Document doc = new Document();
    DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

    // Use a document builder to insert a combo box.
    builder.Write("Choose a value from this combo box: ");
    FormField comboBox = builder.InsertComboBox("MyComboBox", new[] { "One", "Two", "Three" }, 0);
    comboBox.CalculateOnExit = true;
    Assert.AreEqual(3, comboBox.DropDownItems.Count);
    Assert.AreEqual(0, comboBox.DropDownSelectedIndex);
    Assert.True(comboBox.Enabled);

    builder.InsertBreak(BreakType.ParagraphBreak);

    // Use a document builder to insert a check box.
    builder.Write("Click this check box to tick/untick it: ");
    FormField checkBox = builder.InsertCheckBox("MyCheckBox", false, 50);
    checkBox.IsCheckBoxExactSize = true;
    checkBox.HelpText = "Right click to check this box";
    checkBox.OwnHelp = true;
    checkBox.StatusText = "Checkbox status text";
    checkBox.OwnStatus = true;
    Assert.AreEqual(50.0d, checkBox.CheckBoxSize);
    Assert.False(checkBox.Checked);
    Assert.False(checkBox.Default);

    builder.InsertBreak(BreakType.ParagraphBreak);

    // Use a document builder to insert text input form field.
    builder.Write("Enter text here: ");
    FormField textInput = builder.InsertTextInput("MyTextInput", TextFormFieldType.Regular, "", "Placeholder text", 50);
    textInput.EntryMacro = "EntryMacro";

    textInput.SetTextInputValue("New placeholder text");

    Assert.AreEqual(50, textInput.MaxLength);

    // This collection contains all our form fields.
    FormFieldCollection formFields = doc.Range.FormFields;
    Assert.AreEqual(3, formFields.Count);

    // Fields display our form fields. We can see their field codes by opening this document
    // in Microsoft and pressing Alt + F9. These fields have no switches,
    // and members of the FormField object fully govern their form fields' content.
    Assert.AreEqual(3, doc.Range.Fields.Count);
    Assert.AreEqual(" FORMDROPDOWN \u0001", doc.Range.Fields[0].GetFieldCode());
