Hi,

I'm looking for a feature which we had on the Flex client, but which I've been unable to find on the MVC viewer.

I have a feature which requests a variable from our datastore, and then, at receipt generation time, controls whether or not the client should "auto" print the document.

Essentially, I need a way to fire the click event for the print button in the UI, as if the user had clicked it.

Is this possible?

Hello,

Please confirm if we have understood you correctly.
You need a way to programmatically (using Javascript) click the Print button in the MvcViewerFx component to display the print dialog?

Thank you.

I won't say 'how' it should work, only that the original app, based in Flex, was able to procedurally determine if we should 'auto-print', and if so, displayed the browsers print dialog.

If that kind of functionality isn't available on the MVC platform, can you make a suggestion of some other way I might implement this?

The use case in question for us is receipt printing. After our end-users have finished collecting payments, we present a receipt document. Based on user configuration, the report should actually print, if their settings say to, otherwise, bypass.

Hello,

To print the report just call Javascript function postPrint('PrintWithoutPreview'), it is located in the jsMvcViewer object, where MvcViewer - viewer ID. For example:
Thank you.
