Namespace: DevExpress.XtraReports.Web.WebDocumentViewer.DataContracts

Assembly: DevExpress.Data.v24.2.dll

Declaration

C#

[DataMember(Name = "useSameTab")]
public bool UseSameTab { get; set; }

VB.NET

<DataMember(Name:="useSameTab")>
Public Property UseSameTab As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean	true, to print and export documents in the tab that contains the Document Viewer; false to open another browser tab for print and export.

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.

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.

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:

• ASPxReportsStringId.WebDocumentViewer_Print_Popup_Caption
• ASPxReportsStringId.WebDocumentViewer_Print_Popup_LinkText
• ASPxReportsStringId.WebDocumentViewer_Print_Popup_Text

UseSameTab = False

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