Mousedown on Radio Button?

  • October 31, 2016

I've got a radio button and a text field.  If somebody clicks "Red" on the radio button, I'd like the text field to be greyed out and disabled.  If they click "Blue" on the radio button, then the text field should look normal and be enabled for writing.

How do I access the code for the radio button (mouseup event?) to make this happen?

Hello,digital rebel

This may be achieved using the JavaScript, here is an example: How to I activate/deactivate form field text boxes by clicking a check box field on and off? (PDF Forms JavaScript)

To access JavaScript for an object (text field or Radio button). When you are in Prepare form mode, right click on say text box and choose properties > Actions. Select the trigger option and then Selection Action (Choose JavaScript).

Thanks!

How do I get into "Prepare Form Mode?"  Under tools, there's Forms - and under that there is Create, Edit, Distribute, and More.   More contains Highlight, Clear, Import, Export, and Merge Data Files into spreadsheet.
