Triggering an event in XFA form from C#

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

Hello everyone,

I have an XFA form. I can successfully populate fields from my C# code, but there are some checkboxes, which seem to have attached events, which show or hide certain fields when clicked.

I can populate those checkbox values too, but in the filled form hidden fields are not showing.

Is there any way to programmatically trigger an event, associated with the checkbox?

Thanks
Archie

Hello Asad,

I placed the template at

[https://office.argosoft.com/Shared/aoi.pdf]

Code looks like this:

 private void button6_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            try
            {
                string fileName = "c:\\temp\\aoi.pdf";
                Aspose.Pdf.Document doc = new Document(fileName);
                string[] names = doc.Form.XFA.FieldNames;
                doc.Form.XFA[names[83]] = "1";
                doc.Save("c:\\temp\\out.pdf");
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
            }
        }

Field 83 is a checkbox on page 1, section 4, Address. Checking the Standard Address checkbox should be causing certain additional fields to appear. That’s what happens if you check it manually, but it does not happen when we do it using the code above.

Thanks in advance
Archie
