Note

The complete sample project is available at https://github.com/DevExpress-Examples/how-to-determine-the-page-number-of-a-clicked-page

This example shows how to determine what page was clicked in a document using the PdfViewerControl.HitTest method of the PdfViewerControl.

C#

using DevExpress.Xpf.PdfViewer;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Input;

namespace DeterminePageNumber {

    public partial class MainWindow : Window {


        public MainWindow() {
            InitializeComponent();
            pdfViewer.OpenDocument("..\\..\\demo.pdf");
        }

        private void pdfViewer_MouseDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e) {
            PdfHitTestResult result = pdfViewer.HitTest(e.GetPosition(pdfViewer));
            MessageBox.Show(string.Format("You clicked on page {0}", result.DocumentPosition.PageNumber));
        }
    }
}

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.Xpf.PdfViewer
Imports System.Windows
Imports System.Windows.Input

Namespace DeterminePageNumber

    Partial Public Class MainWindow
        Inherits Window


        Public Sub New()
            InitializeComponent()
            pdfViewer.OpenDocument("..\..\demo.pdf")
        End Sub

        Private Sub pdfViewer_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MouseButtonEventArgs)
            Dim result As PdfHitTestResult = pdfViewer.HitTest(e.GetPosition(pdfViewer))
            MessageBox.Show(String.Format("You clicked on page {0}", result.DocumentPosition.PageNumber))
        End Sub
    End Class
End Namespace
