control checkbox form field in word with report generation toolkit for Microsoft office

[BS1965]

Hi all,

Happy New Year!

I insert in the word template the check box form field. It has a bookmark name "Check1".

Now I'm trying to checked or unchecked this field using the report generation toolkit for Microsoft office and I couldn't. If anyone now how to do it? I'm using LabView 8.0

Thanks in advance,

Boris

Boris,

The Microsoft Office Toolkit does not have support for checking/unchecking check box forum field. You would have to research the activex functionality that enables this to be checked or unchecked and then do the activex calls yourself. I did hear of one csutomer who used a special font to write a blank box or a checkbox into a word document and changed it that way as well.

Maybe http://www.ozgrid.com/forum/showthread.php?t=53715 gives a hint to an activex reference

Hi all,

After I posted the question I found the way how to do it.

I use macro function to control the checkbox.

Here is the block diagram:
