User Guide
Check boxes
Check Box Style Specifies the shape of the marker that appears inside the check box when the user selects it: Check
(the default), Circle, Cross, Diamond, Square, or Star. This property does not alter the shape of the check box itself.
Note: The size of the marker inside the check box is determined by the size of the font you specify in the Appearance tab.
Export Value Specifies a value to represent the item if the data will be exported. If left blank, the entry for Name in
the General tab is used as the export value.
Check Box Is Checked By Default Shows the check box selected unless the user deselects it.
Combo box and list box
For either combo boxes or list boxes, you use the Options tab to create a list of items from which the user selects.
Although most of the properties on this tab are common to both these types of form fields, a few are exclusive to one
type or the other.
Item Accepts the text that you type for options that you want to appear in the menu for the field.
Add Moves the current entry in Item to the Item List.
Export Value Where you type in a value to represent the item if the data will be exported. If left blank, the entry for
Name in the General tab is used as the export value.
Item List Displays the choices that will be available in the list.
Note: The highlighted item in the Item List box appears as the default selected item in the combo box field. To change
the default item, highlight another item from the list.
Up and down arrows Change the order in which the items are listed in the combo-box list. These buttons are not
available if Sort Items is selected.
Note: The highlighted item in the Item List box appears as the default selected item in the combo box field. To change
the default item, highlight another item from the list.
Delete Removes the selected item from the list.
Sort Items Arranges the listed items numerically and alphabetically. A numerical sort (if applicable) is performed
before an alphabetical sort.
Allow User To Enter Custom Text (Combo boxes only) Enables users to enter a value other than the ones in the list.
Check Spelling (Combo boxes only) Checks the spelling of user-entered text. This option is available only if Allow
User To Enter Custom Text is selected.
Multiple Selection (List boxes only) Enables users to choose more than one item in the list.
Commit Selected Value Immediately Saves the value as soon as the user selects it. If this option is not selected, the
value is saved only when the user tabs out of the current field or clicks another form field. For list boxes only, this
option is not available if Multiple Selection is selected.
Radio buttons
Button Style Specifies the shape of the marker that appears inside the button when the user selects it: Check, Circle
(the default), Cross, Diamond, Square, or Star. This property does not alter the shape of the radio button itself.
Export Value Identifies the radio button and differentiates it from other radio buttons that share the same Name
value.
Button Is Checked By Default Sets the selection state of the button when the user first opens the form.
