DesignerToolbarExtension Class

A Web Dashboard extension that allows you to display predefined and custom commands in the toolbar when the control operates in Designer mode.

Declaration

export class DesignerToolbarExtension extends DisposableObject implements ISupportOptionExtension<DesignerToolbarExtensionOptions>

Remarks

The Designer Toolbar allows you to access most frequently used commands with a single click. The underlying widget is dxToolbar. The unique extension name is designerToolbar.

The default Designer Toolbar displays layout options and undo/redo buttons.

If you need to update the Designer Toolbar items, reassign the entire items array as shown in the following example:

dashboardControl.option("extensions.designerToolbar.items", [newItems]);

To modify the Designer Toolbar’s elements, handle the DesignerToolbarExtensionOptions.onPreparing event to customize the toolbar before it is rendered:

Javascript

function customizeDesignerToolbar(e) {
    let dashboardControl = e.component;
    // Add a "Reload" button.
    e.items.unshift({
        widget: 'dxButton',
        cssClass: 'dx-refresh-custom-button',
        options: {
            type: 'default',
            icon: 'pulldown'
        },
        location: 'before',
        onClick: () => {
            dashboardControl.refresh();
        }
    },
    {
        name: "separator",
        location: 'before'
    });
    // Add a "Viewer" button.
    e.items.push({
        widget: 'dxButton',
        cssClass: 'dx-viewer-custom-button',
        options: {
            type: 'default',
            text: 'Viewer'
        },
        location: 'after',
        onClick: () => {
            dashboardControl.switchToViewer();
        }
    });
    // Remove the width editing UI elements.
    e.items = e.items.filter(function (item) {
        return ['widthLabel', 'widthButtonGroup', 'widthNumberBox', 'widthPixelLabel', 'widthSeparator'].indexOf(item.name) === -1
    });
}

CSS

.dx-toolbar-before > .dx-toolbar-item.dx-refresh-custom-button {
    padding: 5px;
}
.dx-toolbar-after > .dx-toolbar-item.dx-viewer-custom-button {
    padding: 5px;
}
