From 732fe92952b38c2f3f03c814528fb6811937bc1e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: TekH Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2026 18:32:25 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Update DevExpress migration docs and plan Added `ZoomLevelChanged` to available events in `DEVEXPRESS_V25_LIMITATIONS.md` and clarified missing events. Created a detailed migration plan in `MIGRATION_PLAN.md` for transitioning from PDF.js to DevExpress DxPdfViewer v25.2.3, including a hybrid approach, testing checklist, and rollback plan. Summarized research findings and API verification in `SESSION_SUMMARY.md`, highlighting limitations, risks, and recommendations for the migration. --- DEVEXPRESS_V25_LIMITATIONS.md | 16 +- MIGRATION_PLAN.md | 454 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ SESSION_SUMMARY.md | 290 ++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 751 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) create mode 100644 MIGRATION_PLAN.md create mode 100644 SESSION_SUMMARY.md diff --git a/DEVEXPRESS_V25_LIMITATIONS.md b/DEVEXPRESS_V25_LIMITATIONS.md index c76e3c5a..b04e3897 100644 --- a/DEVEXPRESS_V25_LIMITATIONS.md +++ b/DEVEXPRESS_V25_LIMITATIONS.md @@ -20,10 +20,14 @@ --- +## Available Events + +- **`CustomizeToolbar`** – Allows toolbar customization +- **`ZoomLevelChanged`** – Fires when ZoomLevel property changes (EventCallback) + ## Missing Events (NOT AVAILABLE in v25.2.3) -- **`PageNumberChanged`** – Not available -- **`ZoomLevelChanged`** – Not available +- **`PageNumberChanged`** / **`ActivePageIndexChanged`** – Not available - User scrolling or native toolbar page changes do not trigger C# code --- @@ -43,12 +47,6 @@ --- -## Available Event - -- **`CustomizeToolbar`** – Only available event for toolbar customization - ---- - ## Critical Integration Notes ### ZoomLevel takes factor, not percentage @@ -230,4 +228,4 @@ protected override async Task OnAfterRenderAsync(bool firstRender) - DevExpress official documentation: https://docs.devexpress.com/Blazor/DevExpress.Blazor.PdfViewer.DxPdfViewer - Verified package: `DevExpress.Blazor.PdfViewer` v25.2.3 -- **Note:** AI-suggested APIs (GoToPageAsync, PageNumberChanged, ZoomLevelChanged, ZoomAsync, ToolbarVisible) are NOT real.

User must use these buttons instead of scrolling or native viewer navigation. + +### Finding 3: No Page Change Event +**Impact:** Medium +**Details:** When user scrolls in native viewer, no C# event fires.
