DocumentViewer Object

Summary

The DocumentViewer is the main class used by the Document Viewer.

Syntax

TypeScript

JavaScript

function lt.Document.Viewer.DocumentViewer 
	implements IDisposable

class lt.Document.Viewer.DocumentViewer() 
	implements IDisposable

Remarks

The DocumentViewer is not a control itself: instead, it uses the UI controls created by the parent containers. The parent containers are native controls in the calling platform (for example, Control in Windows Forms and DIV in HTML5/JavaScript).

Create a document viewer by setting the options in DocumentViewerCreateOptions and then calling the createDocumentViewer method. Use the document viewer by loading a LEADDocument object and calling the SetDocument method to view the document.

When the document viewer is created, the following actions occur:

A new instance of the DocumentViewerView is created and set in the DocumentViewer.View property.
A new instance of the ImageViewer control is created and added as a child control to the DocumentViewerCreateOptions.ViewContainer. The image viewer is used to view the Raster or SVG image data of the pages when a LEADDocument is set in the viewer. Access the ImageViewer control by calling the ImageViewer property.
The interactive modes are initialized and added to ImageViewer.InteractiveModes.
