Checkbox in Acrobat

You want to use a check box to clear a field? This is a very straight forward operation. Place code similar to this in the mouse up event of the check box.

if(!event.target.isBoxChecked(0))
{
this.getfield("MyText1").value = 0;
this.getfield("MyText1").readonly = true;
}
else
{
this.getfield("MyText1").readonly = false;
}

If you want the text field to remain zeroed, you should also set the field to readOnly.

You might also consider greying out the zeroed field. Take a look at this article:

Ok - I am so new to Javascripting that I may have to ask something that is completely silly here.

I have a checkbox (let's call it TestCheck) and I want another field to calculate a value based on whether or not TestCheck is checked (text field is called TestText)

Now TestText already has some other calculations in it that are working just fine, but, I wanted to know do I need to edit TestCheck to return a value (5) when checked/0 when empty) or do I just add that into TestText calculations?

And then how (code) do i check to see if TestCheck is checked?

I apologize in advance for my learning curve, but this is one of the more recent post for something similar to what i am trying to do.

Thx,
Roger

test...

this.getField("TestCheck").value

Thx, that worked just fine :)
