ActiveReports 8 > ActiveReports User Guide > How To > Customize, Localize, and Deploy > Customize the FlashViewer Toolbar |
When you use the WebViewer that is licensed with the Professional Edition, one of the ViewerTypes that you can select is FlashViewer. The FlashViewer toolbar is very similar to the Viewer control's toolbar. You can show or hide it, reorder buttons, remove buttons, add custom buttons, or create a custom toolbar. Use the Web.Controls namespace to create custom buttons or a custom toolbar that you can specify in the WebViewer's FlashViewerToolbar property.
The following buttons are provided by default.
Heading | Page Range | |
Search | Zoom-out | Zoom |
Zoom-in | Single Page | Multiple pages |
Continuous Page | Previous Page | Next Page |
Page Number | Backwards | Forward |
Drop down the sections below for code samples.
Note: This code is ignored if the ViewerType property of the WebViewer control is not set to FlashViewer. |

To create a custom button and add it to the toolbar
Tip: The ToolsCollection class in the Web.Controls namespace has the standard System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection methods available, so if you want to just add a button to the end of the toolbar, you can use the Add method instead. |
