Calling Designer from Viewer
The viewer can invoke the report designer. A special button labeled Design on the viewer's toolbar is available for this purpose. By default, this button is disabled. To use this feature, you need to set the showDesignButton property to true and define the onDesignReport event:
viewer.php |
<?php use Stimulsoft\Viewer\StiViewer;
$viewer = new StiViewer(); $viewer->options->toolbar->showDesignButton = true; $viewer->onDesignReport = 'designReport'; $viewer->process(); ?>
<script> function designReport(args) { window.open("designer.php?fileName=" + args.fileName); } </script>
|
The full example code is available on GitHub.
A detailed description of available event arguments is in the Viewer Events section.
Information |
The viewer itself doesn’t launch the designer, it simply triggers the event and passes the report and file name as arguments. In the event, you can redirect to a PHP page that hosts the report designer.
