    string callback
)

VB.NET

Public Function BeforeRender(
    callback As String
) As WebDocumentViewerClientSideEventsBuilder

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
callback	String	The name of a JavaScript function or entire JavaScript function code that runs when the BeforeRender event occurs.

Returns

Type	Description
WebDocumentViewerClientSideEventsBuilder	WebDocumentViewerClientSideEventsBuilder that can be used for method chaining.

Remarks

Handle the BeforeRender event to customize the Web Document Viewer’s View Model before it is bound to an HTML element and/or Knockout binding is activated.

The handler function receives two parameters. The first parameter is the object that exposes the IPreviewModel interface (or the JSReportViewer object). The second is the Document Viewer model that allows you to adjust the control’s settings.

The following code snippet sets the zoom level to 25%, enables multi-page mode, and indicates the moment when the first page is loaded:

ASP.NET Core

<div id="loader"> <div id="loaderText" > </div> </div>
<script type="text/javascript" id="script" >
function onBeforeRender(s, e) {
    e.reportPreview.zoom(0.25);
    e.reportPreview.showMultipagePreview(true);
    $("#loaderText").text("Waiting for the first page..");
    $("#loader").dialog({ title: "Document Viewer", hide: { delay: 1000 } });
    //Get a property that contains the document's page information. 
    var pages = e.reportPreview.pages;
    //Subscribe to property change. 
    var pagesSubscription = pages.subscribe(function (newValue) {
        if (newValue.length > 0) {
            $("#loader").dialog("close");
            //Stop tracking changes.
            pagesSubscription.dispose();
        }
    });}
</script>
