Issue with interactive checkboxes

Issue with interactive checkboxes

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 673 bytes --]

HI!

Tried to make a checklist in an interactive document.

The problem seems to be that all checks/uncecks in same click, not each individually.

Is there something wrong with my code?

See attached below

\setupinteraction[state=start]
\setupexternalfigures[location=global]
\usemodule[fields]
\definesymbol [yes] [{\externalfigure[check-mark-svgrepo-com.svg][conversion=mp]}]
\definesymbol [no] []


\setupfield
[setup 3]
[width=0.5cm, height=0.5cm,
rulethickness=1pt, corner=round, framecolor=red]


\definefield [check-me] [check] [setup 3] [yes,no] [no]

\define\chk{\field[check-me]}

\starttext

\chk
\blank[3cm]
\chk

\stoptext

Hi Jan-Erik,

you basically put the same field twice.

Add something like:

  \definefield [check-you] [check] [setup 3] [yes,no] [no]

  \define\chka{\field[check-you]}

  \chka

Checks will be different then.

I hope it helps,

Pablo

Thank you, unfortunately it has no effect. Even if I make a macro, still it is the same field.

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2479 bytes --]

I’ve tried this

\setupinteraction[state=start]

\definesymbol[yes][{\externalfigure[check-mark-svgrepo-com.svg][conversion=mp]}]
\definesymbol[no][]

\newcount\chk
\def\chk{%
\global \advance \chk by 1
\setupfield[setup1][width=0.5cm, height=0.5cm,rulethickness=1pt, corner=round, framecolor=red]%
\definefield[checkme\the\chk][check][setup1][yes,no][no]%
\field[checkme\the\chk]%
}

\starttext

\chk

\chk

\chk

\stoptext

But it gives the error ” You can’t use \global after \advance”

But this example works fine

\setupinteraction[state=start]

\newcount\clozecount
\def\mycloze{%
  \global \advance \clozecount by 1
  \definefield[uniqcloze\the\clozecount][line]%
  \field[uniqcloze\the\clozecount]%
}

\starttext

Frogs have four \mycloze\ and two eyes.
Frogs have four \mycloze\ and two eyes.
Frogs have four \mycloze\ and two eyes.
Frogs have four \mycloze\ and two eyes.

\stoptext

HI Again!

I discovered what went wrong, such a silly syntax error, here comes a working code:

\setupinteraction[state=start]

\definesymbol[yes][{\externalfigure[check-mark-svgrepo-com.svg][conversion=mp]}]
\definesymbol[no][]

\newcount\chk
\def\checkmark{%
\global\advance\chk by 1
\setupfield[setup1][width=0.5cm, height=0.5cm,rulethickness=1pt, corner=round, framecolor=red]%
\definefield[checkme\the\chk][check][setup1][yes,no][no]%
\field[checkme\the\chk]%
}

\starttext

\checkmark\

\checkmark\

\checkmark\

\stoptext

Sorry to bother the list but maybe it is helpful for someone.

Regards

/Jan-Erik

Hi Jan-Erik,

this will also make it:

  \setupinteraction[state=start]
  \definesymbol [yes] [{\externalfigure[on.svg][conversion=mp]}]
  \definesymbol [no] [{\externalfigure[off.svg][conversion=mp]}]

  \setupfield[setup3][width=2ex, height=2ex]

  \dorecurse{3}
  {\definefield [check-\recurselevel] [check] [setup3] [yes,no] [no]}

  \setupbodyfont[sans, 30pt]

  \starttext
  \startTEXpage[offset=1em, foregroundstyle=\ssbf]

  \dorecurse{3}
    {\field[check-\recurselevel]\
      option \recurselevel\blank[1ex]}
  \stopTEXpage
  \stoptext

But what I experienced in Acrobat Reader DC (on a borrowed computer) is
that you get the standard image (only when field is enabled) when you
click elsewhere in the document.

I guess that this may be related to a missing implementation, but first
I would like to confirm you are experiencing the same.

Best,

Pablo

Custom checkboxes and radiobuttons used to work many years ago, but 
they’re broken for years – Hans blames Adobe for that.

Your example works well in Apple Preview, Acrobat Pro 9 (2010), Skim, 
TeXshop, Safari, File Viewer. All of these use Apple’s PDF library, 
except the old Acrobat.

Foxit Reader, Master PDF Editor, Opera, Firefox never show the custom 
icons but the default checkmark (Firefox a cross).
PDF Studio 2019 doesn’t even that but shows a "4".
PDF.js in Atom doesn’t support forms (but show the red icon).

(I tested on MacOS 10.14.)

Many thanks for your reply and your extensive testing, Hraban.

[Sorry for the late reply, but I have to do this on my free time.]

I have the impression that this issue might be more complex than Acrobat
misbehaving (in my opinion).

/Annot /Widget may be missing /MK /CA which contains this description
(https://opensource.adobe.com/dc-acrobat-sdk-docs/standards/pdfstandards/pdf/PDF32000_2008.pdf#nameddest=G11.2096745):

  The widget annotation’s normal caption, which shall be displayed when
  it is not interacting with the user.

But since this value is a text string, I wonder whether its value may be
/T from the parent (/FT /Btn).

Again, I don’t really know what is going on here.

But adding the /T from parent, by manually editing it:

  /MK << /CA <FEFF0063006800650063006B002D0033> >>

This makes the mark different and permanent in Acrobat (although I don’t
get the right image). You may click on other area and the check mark
doesn’t vanish.

Maybe the issue is that check boxes don’t work exactly the way the rest
of us might have expected.

Sorry, but I’m again in a hurry.

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo
