pdfGetFullyQualifiedFieldName

Return a field's full dotted-path name (e.g.

C
int32_t __stdcall pdfGetFullyQualifiedFieldName(PPDF IPDF, uint32_t Handle, const wchar_t* Out);
Delphi
function pdfGetFullyQualifiedFieldName(const IPDF: PPDF; Handle: Cardinal; var Out: PWideChar): Integer; stdcall;

Purpose. Return a field's full dotted-path name (e.g. "Parent.Child.Grandchild"), walking up through every pdfCreateGroupField ancestor (Field Creation) to assemble the complete path — the counterpart to pdfGetFieldName's partial-segment-only form.

Description. Out is an output-only var PWideChar, same disguised-output pattern as pdfGetFieldName above — always Wide, unlike the plain name getter's ANSI-only output.

Parameters.

ParameterDescription
IPDFDocument handle.
HandleTarget field handle.
OutOutput only — the fully-qualified dotted name.

Return value. Name length; 0 if Handle doesn't resolve or Out is a null pointer.
