Hello,
I am trying to change a text box based on if a check box is checked, here's what I have in the calculate tab of the text box:
if (CheckBox53.rawValue == 1)
{
event.value = "Fail!";
}
else
{
event.value = "";
}
This does not seem to work, does anyone have any ideas?

If it's an Acrobat form, just change the first line to:
if (this.getField("CheckBox53").value != "Off")
if (this.getField("CheckBox53").value != "Off")

This is an Abobe Acrobat pdf file. I'm not sure what Livecycle is to be honest.
Here is what I just tried:
if (getField("CheckBox53").RawValue == 1)
{
event.value = "Fail!";
}
else
{
event.value = "";
}
If it doesn't know what "RawValue" is then I am not sure how to make a determination on the check box.
Thanks very much for your help.

Use the code I provided, without changing it.

Ah, I see. Thanks very much, I am still struggling with the syntax here, just need more practice.

I find the easiest way is to think about a checkbox as 'Off' or 'Not Off'.
That way the actual value doesn't matter.
if (getField("CheckBox53").value == "Off")
{
event.value = "Fail";
}
else
{
event.value = "";
}

I see, that makes sense.
Again, thanks so much for your help.

This code will have the opposite effect, ie the field will be populated with "Fail" when the check-box is not ticked. I had understood you wanted it filled when the box is ticked...

Correct.
What I am using:
!= off is working.

do not use rawValue in acroform
livecycle has no idea what event.value means
which one do you want?
