Description

Enumerates the choice values of a combo box, list box, or radio button.
If the field is a check box, the parameter ValIndex will be ignored and the export value and selectedstate are returned.
To enumerate the choice values of a combo box or list box call GetFieldExpValCount() to determine the number of available values. The parameter ValIndex can then be used to access each value / export value pair within the array.
Beginning with PDF 1.5 choice values of combo and list boxes can be in Unicode format. Because Unicode strings are not supported by this function the function DynaPDF.GetFieldChoiceValue should be used to enumerate choice values of these field types.
The parameters Value, ExpValue, and Selected require variables so that the values can be set by the function. To change a choice value of a combo box or list box call the function DynaPDF.SetFieldExpValue.
