bind

Syntax

/**
 * Create a Dynamsoft Viewer instance and bind it to the WebTwain instance.
 * @param element Specify an HTML element to create the viewer.
 */
bind(element: HTMLDivElement): boolean;

Example

var DWObject = null;
Dynamsoft.DWT.CreateDWTObjectEx({
        WebTwainId: 'dwtcontrol'
    },
    function(obj) {
        DWObject = obj;
        DWObject.Viewer.bind(document.getElementById('dwtcontrolContainer'));
        DWObject.Viewer.height = 600;
        DWObject.Viewer.width = 800;
        var thumbnailViewer = DWObject.Viewer.createThumbnailViewer();
        thumbnailViewer.show();
        DWObject.Viewer.show();
    },
    function(err) {
        console.log(err);
    }
);

Usage notes

Replace the previous BindViewer method.


clearSelectedAreas

Syntax

/**
 * Clear the selected area(s) on the current page.
 */
clearSelectedAreas(): void;

Example

DWObject.Viewer.clearSelectedAreas();

createCustomElement

Syntax

/**
 * Add a custom page DIV element and specify its position and display order.
 * Generate an independent CustomElement object. 
 * @param element Specify the HTMLDivElement.
 * @param location Define where to place the custom element. The allowed values are "left" and "right", and the default value is "right".
 * @param bCover The default value is `false`, that is, the created CustomElement is displayed according to the set area. If set to true, the main viewer will be covered by the CustomElement.
 */
createCustomElement(
    element: HTMLDivElement, 
    location?: string, 
    bCover?: boolean
): CustomElement;

interface CustomElement {
    /**
     * Show the custome element.
     */
    show(): boolean;
    /**
     * Hide the custome element.
     */
    hide(): boolean;
    /**
     * Remove the custome element.
     */
    dispose(): boolean;
};

Example

var myElement = document.createElement("div");
myElement.style = "width:100px;height:200px;background:red";
var customElement = DWObject.Viewer.createCustomElement(myElement, "right", false);
customElement.show();

Usage notes

Only one CustomElement object can be created. If you try creating another one, you’ll get the error ‘A CustomElement already exists.’, and the existing CustomElement object will be returned.

If the width defined by the CustomElement object exceeds the width of the main viewer, the width of the main viewer is used.

The method unbind() will dispose all created CustomElement objects, ThumbnailViewer objects and ImageEditor objects.


createImageEditor

Syntax

/** 
 * Generate an independent ImageEditor object.
 * @param editorSettings Configure the object.
 */
createImageEditor(
    editorSettings?: EditorSettings
): ImageEditor;

interface ImageEditor {
    /**
     * Show the ImageEditor object.
     */
    show(): boolean;
    /**
     * Hide the ImageEditor object.
     */
    hide(): boolean;
    /**
     * Remove the ImageEditor object.
     */
    dispose(): boolean;
};

Example

The example code shows 2 ways to use the API createImageEditor()

// Use default settings
var imageEditor = DWObject.Viewer.createImageEditor();
imageEditor.show();
// Customize the editor
var editorSettings = {
    /* Show the editor within the DIV 'imageEditor'*/
    element: document.getElementById("imageEditor"),
    width: 600,
    height: 400,
    border: '1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204)',

        selectSource: ['Select Source:', 'Select', 'Cancel', 'There is no source available']
    }
};

var imageEditor = DWObject.Viewer.createImageEditor(editorSettings);
imageEditor.show();

Usage notes

Replace the previous ShowImageEditor() method.

Only one ImageEditor object can be created. If you try creating it again, you’ll get the error ‘An ImageEditor already exists.’ and the existing ImageEditor object will be returned.

The method unbind() will dispose all created CustomElement objects, ThumbnailViewer objects and ImageEditor objects.

Example

The example code shows 2 ways to use the API createThumbnailViewer()

// Use default settings
var objThumbnailViewer = DWObject.Viewer.createThumbnailViewer();
objThumbnailViewer.background = "rgb(0,0,255)";
objThumbnailViewer.show();
// Customize the thumbnail viewer
var thumbnailViewerSettings = {
    location: 'left',
    size: '30%',
    columns: 1,
    rows: 3,
    scrollDirection: 'vertical', // 'horizontal'
    pageMargin: 10,

    selectedPageBorder: "1px solid rgb(125,162,206)",
    selectedPageBackground: "rgb(199, 222, 252)"
}​​​​​​​;

var thumbnail = DWObject.Viewer.createThumbnailViewer(thumbnailViewerSettings);
thumbnail.show();

Usage notes

The following table shows the events available to a ThumbnailViewer object.

Event Name Arguments Description
click event: ThumbnailViewerEvent, domEvent: MouseEvent Triggered when the mouse is clicked
dblclick event: ThumbnailViewerEvent, domEvent: MouseEvent Triggered when the mouse is double clicked
contextMenu event: ThumbnailViewerEvent, domEvent: MouseEvent Triggered when the mouse is right clicked
mousemove event: ThumbnailViewerEvent, domEvent: MouseEvent Triggered when the mouse moved over
mousedown event: ThumbnailViewerEvent, domEvent: MouseEvent Triggered when the mouse key is pressed
mouseup event: ThumbnailViewerEvent, domEvent: MouseEvent Triggered when the mouse key is released
resize width:number, height:number Triggered when width & height of the ThumbnailViewer object changes.
pageRendered index: number Triggered when a page is rendered.
mouseout event: ThumbnailViewerEvent, domEvent: MouseEvent Triggered when the mouse is out, only for desktop browsers
mouseover event: ThumbnailViewerEvent, domEvent: MouseEvent Triggered when mouse is hovering, only for desktop browsers
keydown keyboardEvent: KeyboardEvent Triggered when a key is pressed, only for desktop browsers
keyup keyboardEvent: KeyboardEvent Triggered when a key is released, only for desktop browsers

By default, scrolling the scroll bar on Thumbnail does not trigger the topchanged event.

Only one ThumbnailViewer object can be created. If you try creating it again, you will get the error ‘A ThumbnailViewer already exists.’ and the existing ThumbnailViewer object will be returned.

The method unbind() will dispose all created CustomElement objects, ThumbnailViewer objects and ImageEditor objects.


first

Syntax

/** 
 * Show the first page and return the index which should be 0. If there is no page in the viewer, -1 is returned.
 */
first():number; 

Example

DWObject.Viewer.first();

 * @param type Specify how to fit. Allowed values are "width" and "height"
 */
fitWindow(
    type?: string
): void

Example

 DWObject.Viewer.fitWindow();

Usage notes

This API only works if the view mode of the viewer is set to -1 by -1 ( singlePageMode is true).

The allowed values are

width: Fit the page vertically. height: Fit the page horizontally.

If no parameter is provided, it tries to fit the whole page within the viewer.


gotoPage

Syntax

/**
 * Show the specified page and return its index.
 * @param index Specify the page.
 */
gotoPage(
    index: number
): number;

Example

DWObject.Viewer.gotoPage(0);

 */
last():number; 

Example

DWObject.Viewer.last();

next

Syntax

/**
 * Show the next page and return its index. If there is no page in the viewer, -1 is returned.
 */
next(): number; 

Example

DWObject.SelectImages([3]); //Select the 4th page.
var currentIndex = DWObject.Viewer.next(); // return 4 which represents the 5th page.

off

Syntax

/**
 * Unbind event listener(s) from the specified viewer event.
 * @param eventName Specify the event.
 * @param callback Specify the listener to remove
 */
Viewer.off(
    eventName: string, 
    callback?: () => void
): void; 

Example

DWObject.Viewer.off('pageAreaSelected');

Usage notes

If no listener is specified, all listeners will be removed.


on

Syntax

/**
 * Bind a listner to the specified event. You can bind one or multiple listeners to the same event.
 * @param eventName Specify the event name.
 * @param callback Specify the listner.
 */
Viewer.on(
    eventName: string, 
    callback: (event: ViewerEvent) => void
): void; 

Example

//bind pageAreaSelected event on the main viewer
var callback = function(sImageIndex, rect) {
    console.log(sImageIndex);
};
DWObject.Viewer.on('pageAreaSelected', callback);

//bind click event on the thumbnail viewer 
var objThumbnailViewer = DWObject.Viewer.createThumbnailViewer();
objThumbnailViewer.show(); 
objThumbnailViewer.on('click', function(dwtEvent, domEvent) {
    console.log(dwtEvent, domEvent);
});


previous

Syntax

/**
 * Show the previous page and return its index. If there is no page in the viewer, -1 is returned.
 */
previous(): number; 

Example

DWObject.SelectImages([3]); //Select the 4th page.

DWObject.Viewer.on("pageRendered", function(index) {
    console.log(index)
});

DWObject.Viewer.render(); //It will trigger the pageRendered event

setSelectedAreas

Syntax

/**
 * Set one or more rectangular area(s) on the current page.
 * @param areas Specify the rectangular area(s).
 */
setSelectedAreas(
    areas: Area[]
): void;

interface Area {
    left: number,
    top: number,
    right: number,
    bottom: number,
};

Example

DWObject.Viewer.setSelectedAreas([{
    left: 0,
    top: 0,
    right: 100,
    bottom: 100
}, {
    left: 200,
    top: 200,
    right: 400,
    bottom: 500
}]);

Usage notes

The coordinates are based on the size of the original page (instead of the size of the viewer).

This method only works when cursor is set to “crosshair”.


setViewMode

Syntax

/**
 * Set the view mode of the viewer.
 * @param columns Specify the number of images per column.
 * @param rows Specify the number of images per row.
 */
setViewMode(
    columns: number,
    rows: number
): boolean;

Example

DWObject.Viewer.setViewMode(2, 2);

Usage notes

Setting the view mode as -1 by -1 is equivalent to setting singlePageMode to true.


show

Syntax

/**
 * Show the viewer.
 */
show(): boolean; 

Example

DWObject.Viewer.show();

unbind

Syntax

/**
 * Unbind and destroy the viewer.
 */
unbind(): boolean; 

Example

DWObject.Viewer.unbind();

Usage notes

Replace the previous UnbindViewer method.


acceptDrop

Syntax

/**
 * Set whether to load files dropped over the viewer area.
 * The default value is true.
 */
acceptDrop: boolean; 

Example

DWObject.Viewer.acceptDrop = true;

allowSlide

/**
 * Set whether to allow image navigation by swiping left or right on the viewer.
 * The default value is true.
 */
.allowSlide: boolean; 

Example

DWObject.Viewer.allowSlide = true;  

Usage notes

This API only works if the view mode of the viewer is set to -1 by -1.


background

Syntax

/**
 * Return or set the background of the viewer. 
 */
background: string;

Example

DWObject.Viewer.background = 'rgb(255, 255, 255)';

Usage notes

Replace the previous BackgroundColor method. Now you can specify the backgournd by CSS which may be a single color or even an image. Read more on the background shorthand CSS.


border

Syntax

/**
 * Return or set the border of the viewer.
 */
border: string; 

Example

DWObject.Viewer.border = '2px solid rgb(204, 204, 204)';

Usage notes

The default value is “1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204)”. Now you can specify the border by CSS. Read more on the border shorthand CSS.


cursor

Syntax

/**
 * Return or set the shape of the cursor.
 */
cursor: string; 

Example

DWObject.Viewer.cursor = 'crosshair';

Usage Notes

The allowed values are:

Value Description
default The shape is default.
crosshair The shape is crosshair(default setting), you can select one or multiple area(s) on the page.
pointer The shape is pointer. If the displayed page is bigger than the viewer, the page can be moved.
zoom-in The shape is zoom-in, supports click the page to zoom in. Only works if the view mode of the viewer is set to -1 by -1.

If there are selected areas on the page, changing the cursor property will clear them.


height

Syntax

/**
 * Return or set the height of the viewer.
 */ 
height: number | string;

Example

DWObject.Viewer.height = 350;
DWObject.Viewer.height = "350px";
DWObject.Viewer.height = "100%";

Usage Notes

If a number is assigned, it means that number of pixels (px). If a string is assigned, it is either a fixed size like “500px” or a dynamic size like “50%” which follows standard CSS rules.

When reading the property, the value is always in pixels no matter what value was set to it.


idPostfix

Syntax

/**
 * Return the postfix of the Ids of the elements in the viewer.
 */ 
readonly idPostfix: string;

Example

var myViewerIdPostfix = DWObject.Viewer.idPostfix;

ifAutoScroll

Syntax

/**
 * Return or set whether to scroll the viewer automatically when new pages are imported.
 * Default: true;
 */
ifAutoScroll: string; 

Example

DWObject.Viewer.ifAutoScroll = false;

innerBorder

Syntax

/**
 * Return or set the inner border of the viewer.
 */
innerBorder: string; 

Example

DWObject.Viewer.innerBorder = '1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204)';

Usage notes

The default value is null. You can specify the border by CSS. Read more on the border shorthand CSS.


pageMargin

Syntax

/**
 * Return or set the margin between images.
 */
pageMargin: number | string; 

Example

DWObject.Viewer.pageMargin = 10;

Usage Notes

The page margin is only effective when the view mode is not -1 * -1 (in other words, singlePageMode is false ).


selectedAreaBorderColor

Syntax

/**
 * Set the border color of the selected area. Also applies to the selection box on the video opened by the method `showVideo`.
 */
selectedAreaBorderColor: string; 

Example

DWObject.Viewer.selectedAreaBorderColor = 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 1)';

Usage notes

The default value is “rgba(0, 0, 0, 1)”.


selectedPageBackground

Syntax

/**
 * Set the selected page background color of the Thumbnail viewer.
 */
selectedPageBackground: string; 

Example

DWObject.Viewer.selectedPageBackground = "rgb(255, 0, 0)";

Usage notes

The default value is “rgb(199, 222, 252)”. You can specify the backgournd by CSS which may be a single color or even an image. Read more on the background shorthand CSS.


selectedPageBorder

Syntax

/**
 * Return or set the border style for selected page(s).
 */
selectedPageBorder: string; 

Example

DWObject.Viewer.selectedPageBorder = "3px solid rgb(125,162,206)";

Usage Notes

This API is only effective when the view mode is not -1 * -1 (in other words, singlePageMode is false ).

The default value is “1px solid rgb(125, 162, 206)”. Now you can specify the border by CSS. Read more on the border shorthand CSS.


selectionRectAspectRatio

Syntax

/**
 * Specify an aspect ratio to be used when selecting an rectangular area on a page.
 */
selectionRectAspectRatio: number | string; 

Example

DWObject.Viewer.selectionRectAspectRatio = 0.5;

Usage Notes

This API is only effective when drawing manually (it won’t work if the selection is done with the API setSelectedAreas()).


showPageNumber

Syntax

/**
 * Return or set whether to show the page numbers.
 */

Example

DWObject.Viewer.showPageNumber = true;

Usage notes

The default value is false which means the page nubmers are hidden. The page numbers indicate the order of the pages. When the viewmode is -1 * -1 (in other words, singlePageMode is true ), page numbers will be hidden.


singlePageMode

Syntax

/**
 * Set whether to use single page mode. 
 */
singlePageMode: boolean; 

Example

// Use single page mode in the main viewer
DWObject.Viewer.singlePageMode = true;
// Use single page mode in the thumnail viewer
var objThumbnailViewer = DWObject.Viewer.createThumbnailViewer();
objThumbnailViewer.show();
DWObject.Viewer.singlePageMode = true;

Usage notes

The default value is false. If the thumbnail viewer is not shown, setting singlePageMode to true is equivalent to setting the view mode to -1 by -1. But if the thumbnail viewer is shown, singlePageMode will be changed to true automatically.


width

Syntax

/**
 * Return or set the width of the viewer.
 */ 
width: number | string;

Example

DWObject.Viewer.width = 270;
DWObject.Viewer.width = "270px";
DWObject.Viewer.width = "100%";

Usage Notes

If a number is assigned, it means that number of pixels (px). If a string is assigned, it is either a fixed size like “500px” or a dynamic size like “50%” which follows standard CSS rules.

When reading the property, the value is always in pixels no matter what value was set to it.


zoom

Syntax

/**
 * Return or set the zoom factor, and then the current page will be enlarged or reduced.
 */
zoom: number;

Example

DWObject.Viewer.zoom = 2.0;

Usage Notes

The zoom factor is only effective when the view mode is -1 * -1. Allowed values is from 0.02 to 65.


autoChangeIndex

Syntax

/**
 * Set whether to make sure the first image in the viewer is always selected when scrolling through multiple images. The default value is false. 
 */
autoChangeIndex : boolean

Example

DWObject.Viewer.autoChangeIndex=true;

Usage Notes

When set to true, the index in the upper left corner of the viewer will be selected when scrolling.

pageAreaSelected

Syntax

/**
 * This event is triggered when user selects an area (draws a rectangle) or move a selected area on the current page.

interface rect{ 
    // The index of the selected area. The index is 0-based. This is useful when you have multiple selected areas on one page.
    areaIndex: number;
    // The x-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the area.
    x: number;
    // The y-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the area.
    y: number;
    // The width of the selected area.
    width: number;
    // The height of the selected area.
    height: number;
