  Subject: Navigating to a Specific Page in WPF Viewer Using Hidden GUIDs

  Hi everyone,

  I’m working with a report that consists of 4 pages loaded into a WPF Viewer (AR v15.2). To help users navigate through the report, I’m using an independent tree control where each tree item represents a page.

  For navigation, I’ve embedded a unique hidden text (GUID) on each page—for example: guid1, guid2, guid3, and guid4. My plan is to jump directly to the corresponding page when a user clicks a tree item.
  
  I intend to achieve this with the following pseudo-code:

  int pageIndex = wpfViewer.FindFirstPageFromText("guid3");
  wpfViewer.GoToPage(pageIndex);

  
  
  This approach searches for the hidden GUID in the report and navigates to that page.

  However, **FindFirstPageFromText **method does not exist, how can we achieve this basic navigation.

  Any insights or right approaches would be greatly appreciated!

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Philippe,

  AFAIK, there is no public API to all search for the WPF viewer.
  
  Although, if you already know the page number you can set Viewer.CurrentPage. Sample Code:

  			ReportViewer.CurrentPage = 2;
