1 Description
A CheckBox object represents one individual form object of the type CheckBox and allows you to retrieve and change its value.
CheckBox is a child object of FormField.
2 Access to the object
The CheckBox object can be accessed solely through its parent object FormField.
Only if the property CheckBox.Valid returns the value True, the form object really represents a check box – and not a text field or a drop-down list.
An example:
' Check the type of the first form object.
' If it is a CheckBox object,
' output its value (True or False).
If tm.ActiveDocument.FormFields(1).CheckBox.Valid Then
MsgBox tm.ActiveDocument.FormFields(1).CheckBox.Value
End If
