MiscellaneousTag

Provides a brief label describing the Miscellaneous property for the tax requiring this information. This allows the developer to use a meaningful prompt when requesting ‘Miscellaneous’ information from the end user.

Example

Here’s how you could set up a form which asks for Miscellaneous input only when needed. The miscfield.label value can be used to create a more informative form label, rather than calling this input “Miscellaneous:“.

.NET

// using TaxControls;
try {
  CTaxControl tc = new CTaxControl();
  tc.DataFilename = "us.dat";
  Tax t = tc.Taxes.Item(emp.taxname[i]);
  if (t.MiscellaneousTag != "" ) {
    miscfield.visible = True;
    miscfield.label = t.MiscellaneousTag;
    miscfield.tooltip = t.MiscellaneousInstructions;
  }
} catch (TaxControlException e) {
  Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
}

Java

//import com.boondocks.taxcontrols.*;
try {
  TaxControl tc = new TaxControl();
  tc.setDataFilename("us.dat");
  Tax t = tc.getTaxes().get(emp.taxname[i]);
  if (t.getMiscellaneousTag() != "" ) {
    miscfield.visible = true;
    miscfield.label = t.getMiscellaneousTag();
    miscfield.tooltip = t.getMiscellaneousInstructions();
  }
} catch (TaxControlException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
}
