Viewer settings are configured by modifying the property values located in the main properties container named options of the component. All properties are divided into groups for ease of use. All enumerations used in the viewer settings are found in the namespace stimulsoft_reports.viewer.enums.

 

The example of changing some viewer settings:

 

app.py

 

from flask import Flask, request

from stimulsoft_reports.viewer import StiViewer

from stimulsoft_reports.viewer.enums import StiHtmlExportMode, StiToolbarDisplayMode, StiViewerTheme

 

@app.route('/viewer', methods = ['GET', 'POST'])

def viewer():

   viewer = StiViewer()

   viewer.options.localization = 'de.xml'

   viewer.options.appearance.theme = StiViewerTheme.OFFICE_2022_DARKGRAY_BLUE

   viewer.options.appearance.fullScreenMode = True

   viewer.options.appearance.scrollbarsMode = True

   viewer.options.appearance.bookmarksTreeWidth = 200

   viewer.options.toolbar.displayMode = StiToolbarDisplayMode.SEPARATED

   viewer.options.exports.showExportToWord2007 = False

   viewer.options.exports.showExportToCsv = False

 

  if viewer.processRequest(request):

      return viewer.getFrameworkResponse()

 

  # Here is the code for working with the report
