What happened to the .ui object in checkboxes?

[Former Community Member]

In Acrobat 8.0, I could address the border of a checkbox using:

CheckBox1.nodes.item(0).ui.checkbutton.border.edge.color.value

this does not work when I save the form for acrobat 8.1 and above, with the object CheckBox1.nodes.item(0).ui being undefined, as opposed to a XFAObject in 8.0.

Any idea how I can address this property in 8.1 and above?

Thanks,

Eric

Hi,

Try this loop:

for (var i=0; i<4; i++) {
  this.ui.oneOfChild.border.getElement("edge",i).color.value = "92,192,255";
}

Deals with one border at a time.

Good luck,

Niall

I tried it on my machine and it works fine. I noticed that you have checkbutton and it shodul be checkButton. Also why do you use the nodes.item(0). You shodul only have to use CheckBox1.ui.......
