The only way we can add radio button to OOXML is by using ActiveX control. I'm not sure this is what we want because it's too specific. What do you think, @Progi1984?

Progi1984 commented 10 years ago

ActiveX is not a solution.

Is there not any radio button or option (like in HTML) for OOXML ?

ivanlanin commented 10 years ago

I don't think there's an alternative for this. See: http://www.personal.psu.edu/yxc165/blogs/comm_-_support/2010/08/adding-raido-buttons-to-ms-word-2010.html

@PHPOffice/phpword-team What do you think about that ?

Simple question, @pallikiran: what for?

By the way, guys, according to paragraph 17.16.5.21 of the OOXML spec, there is FORMDROPDOWN field which, I guess, could be used instead of radios. If want radios, there is no luck.

@RomanSyroeshko I need to create offline form with checkbox, dropdown and radio buttons in docx file.

Right now i am using dropdown for radio buttons. I am asking is there any possibility to show radio buttons.

As I mentioned earlier, I didn't see any support of radios in OOXML standard (except drop-downs). You may try to do your own research or/and ask someone from Microsoft. Maybe you will have to use ActiveX.

By the way, automating MS Word or MS Excel files in that way is a wrong way. You will have to rewrite your solution in case of file format change. That's the overhead which German government has when performed migration from MS Office to Open Office. Details on this history you my find using search engines. So, if you want to easy change file formats, use files for output only, don't automate them by their specific tools.

Good luck.
