TXTextControl.SignatureFieldInsertFixed Method

This method inserts a new signature field at a fixed geometrical position. The text flows around the signature field.

Introduced: 31.0.

Syntax

TXTextControl.SignatureFieldInsertFixed PageNo, PosX, PosY, Width, Height, TextFlow, DistanceL, DistanceT, DistanceR, DistanceB
Parameter Description
PageNo

Specifies the number of the page where the signature field is inserted, beginning with number 1. If the ViewMode property has not been set to Page View, this parameter must be set to zero. In this case, the PosY parameter specifies the position relative to the top of the control.

PosX

Specifies the signature field's horizontal position in twips relative to the left border of the page.

PosY

Specifies the signature field's vertical position in twips relative to the top border of the page or control.

Width

Specifies the width of the signature field in twips. If this parameter is set to zero, a built-in mouse interface is started which enables the end-user to define the size of the signature field through a rectangle, drawn with the mouse.

Height

Specifies the height of the signature field in twips. If this parameter is set to zero, a built-in mouse interface is started which enables the end-user to define the size of the signature field through a rectangle, drawn with the mouse.

TextFlow

Specifies how text flows around the signature field. It can be one of the following values:


Value Description
2 The text stops at the top and continues at the bottom of the signature field.
3 The text flows around the signature field. Empty areas at the left and right side are filled.
DistanceL, DistanceT, DistanceR, DistanceB

Specifies distances, in twips, between the signature field and the document's text.

Return Value

The method returns the signature field's identifier, if a new signature field could be inserted. Otherwise, it returns zero. The signature field's identifier can also be obtained with the ObjectCurrent property.
