I have a radio button group in a form called "Reduction in Employees Exceed 10% during past/upcoming 12 months?" One choice is "Yes - Question 3" and the other choice is "No - Question 3". I'm unable to get my code working so that it selects the proper radio button. Here are some code snippets I have tried: the following code compiles, but leave the radio button unchecked
Code: C#
field = doc.Fields["Reduction in Employees Exceed 10% during past/upcoming 12 months?"]
field.Value = "Yes - Question 3";
The following code results in an exception - Unable to cast object of type 'EO.Pdf.PdfGenericField' to type 'EO.Pdf.PdfRadioButtonField'.
Code: C#
field = doc.Fields["Reduction in Employees Exceed 10% during past/upcoming 12 months?"];
((EO.Pdf.PdfRadioButtonField)field).SelectedIndex = 0;
I wasn't able to figure out anything else from reading the documentation. What am I missing? Thanks!

Hi,
Your second method is the correct way to do it. However you will need to find the correct PdfRadioButtonField first. doc.Fields indexer takes the field name, not the field text (it's possible that the author of the file just use the field text as field name though). In any case, you will want to examine doc.Fields collection with an debugger so that you can see all the fields in the document and their name. Note that each fields can have children fields. So your PdfRadioButtonField can be a child of your "Reduction in Employees ..." field. So you will want to search each field's Children collection recursively.
Once you find the right PdfRadioButtonField, you would use SelectedIndex to check the item.
Thanks!

The field index/name is correct. As far as I can tell, the problem is that your library gives this field a type of "PdfGenericField" and it's not allowing me to cast it to PdfRadioButtonField. I wrote some code walks through all the form fields and prints their name and type: Quote:
Name of Applicant - EO.Pdf.PdfTextField
Voluntary Employee Terminations - EO.Pdf.PdfTextField
Involuntary Employee Terminations - EO.Pdf.PdfTextField
Employee Layoffs - EO.Pdf.PdfTextField
Reduction in Employees Exceed 10% during past/upcoming 12 months? - EO.Pdf.PdfGenericField
Child Level 1: - EO.Pdf.PdfRadioButtonOption
Child Level 1: - EO.Pdf.PdfRadioButtonOption
Voluntary Employee Reduction - EO.Pdf.PdfTextField
Involuntary Employee Reduction - EO.Pdf.PdfTextField
Reduction via Layoff - EO.Pdf.PdfTextField
Use of Employment App for Every Prospective Employee? - EO.Pdf.PdfGenericField
Child Level 1: - EO.Pdf.PdfRadioButtonOption
Child Level 1: - EO.Pdf.PdfRadioButtonOption
Policy Against Unlawful Discrimination/Harassment? - EO.Pdf.PdfGenericField
Child Level 1: - EO.Pdf.PdfRadioButtonOption
Child Level 1: - EO.Pdf.PdfRadioButtonOption
Consult with Outside Counsel Before Adverse Action Against Employee? - EO.Pdf.PdfGenericField
Child Level 1: - EO.Pdf.PdfRadioButtonOption
Child Level 1: - EO.Pdf.PdfRadioButtonOption
Policies/Procedures for Employee Conduct? - EO.Pdf.PdfGenericField
Child Level 1: - EO.Pdf.PdfRadioButtonOption
Child Level 1: - EO.Pdf.PdfRadioButtonOption
Policies/Procedures for Responding to Complaints? - EO.Pdf.PdfGenericField
Child Level 1: - EO.Pdf.PdfRadioButtonOption
Child Level 1: - EO.Pdf.PdfRadioButtonOption
No Warranty Information Exceptions - EO.Pdf.PdfCheckBoxField
No Claims, Suits or Demands - EO.Pdf.PdfCheckBoxField
_es_:signer1:fullname - EO.Pdf.PdfTextField
_es_:signer1:title - EO.Pdf.PdfTextField
_es_:signer1:signature - EO.Pdf.PdfTextField
_es_:signer1:date - EO.Pdf.PdfTextField
So, the top-level field is reported as "PdfGenericField" but its children are PdfRadioButtonOption (with an empty string for a name). I am willing to email you the PDF file in question if that would help? Thanks
