Property Value

Property Paths

You can access this nested property as listed below:

Library Object Type Path to UseSameTab
Cross-Platform Class Library ReportPreviewSettings
.ExportSettings .UseSameTab
WebDocumentViewerSettingsBase
.ExportSettings .UseSameTab
.NET Reporting Tools DxReportDesignerReportPreviewSettings
.ExportSettings .UseSameTab

Remarks

Use the UseSameTab property to specify whether to print and export documents in the same browser tab where the Document Viewer is placed, or in a separate tab.

UseSameTab = True (Default)

When a user clicks the Print toolbar icon, the Print dialog appears in the tab that contains the Document Viewer.

The Print dialog

When a document is printed, the Document Viewer displays an additional dialog with a link to the PDF file that was sent to the printer.

An additional dialog

This dialog helps users troubleshoot issues when the browser is unable to print a document. Disable the ShowPrintNotificationDialog property to hide this dialog. However, we recommend that your application should allow users to enable the ShowPrintNotificationDialog property or keep it enabled for cases when a browser stops printing documents after an update.

You can localize the dialog with the following localization strings:

UseSameTab = False

When a user clicks the Print toolbar icon, the Document Viewer opens a new browser tab to display the Print dialog.
