Applies to
Syntax
rtename.FormFieldGetEmptyWidth(integer fieldID)
Return value
Integer.
If it succeeds, returns the width of the field, in twips, when the field is empty. If a form field is inserted without the emptyWidth setting, a default width of 2000 twips is used. For almost all units of measurement in the RichTextEdit control, twips are used. Twip is a fabricated word meaning twentieth of a point (pt).
Returns -1 if the field ID maps to a checkbox form field. Returns -2 if the field ID maps to a non-form field. If any argument's value is null, returns null. Returns -1 if an error occurs.
Examples

integer li_formid,li_rtn li_formid = rte_1.FormDateFieldInsert(today(),false) li_rtn = rte_1.FormFieldGetEmptyWidth(li_formid)
