use of allowNeutral for radio buttons

Hello,

Yes, you can do this. I just created a test form and it works fine.

Create a new test form. Add a radio button. Set it's name to "rbTest". Copy and paste this button to create "rbTest[1]". Rename the radio button container group to rTest. Create a button labelled "Get Value". Create another button labelled "Reset Selection". Create a text label, named "tTest".

You now have, in the Hierarchy pane:
Form
-rTest
--rbTest[0]
--rbTest[1]
-Button1 "Get Value"
-Button2 "Reset Selection"
-tTest "Text"

Add some code:

Button1::click gets:
tTest.rawValue = Str(rTest.rawValue)

Button2::click gets:
rTest.rawValue = 0

Save your form and then click the "Preview PDF" tab and play with selecting and reseting your radio buttons.

Enjoy!

Hi crisis_davis,

In addition, you may want to check out the "Creating Radio CheckBoxes" article at JavaScript Corner ( both a LCD and AcroForm PDF with code available for download)-

Hope this helps,

Has anyone figured out yet how to deselect a radio button on a form in Acrobat 9.0?
Please do not suggest using check boxes instead of radion buttons. There has to be a way to unclick a button that has been clicked on either by setting something in the properties dialogue box or by running a java script. I've been searching for days and have tested various scripts and have not found one that works.

Please help me.

Thanks!

I've used a three button approach - not pretty but it works

3 buttons: YES - NO - CLEAR.

Script is on the CLEAR button.

In design mode, click on the CLEAR button and in the scripting

window enter: xfa.host.resetData("RadioButtonGroup Name");.



Use Java Script and select "click" from Event drop down

Well, you may not want to hear it, but it's easier to make check boxes work like radio buttons. Why do things the hard way?

Hi, this article moved... But I found it here:
