Combine Filters for Precise Grid Data Control

September 30, 2025
Wijmo 2025 v2 adds enhanced filtering control, allowing developers to define both conditional and value filters simultaneously in FlexGridFilter.

Wijmo by MESCIUS is a comprehensive JavaScript library offering a suite of high-performance UI components and data grids specifically designed to streamline the development of modern enterprise applications. It emphasizes reduced development time and improved maintainability, along with a focus on performance through its efficient design and small module size. Wijmo integrates seamlessly with popular JavaScript frameworks like Angular, React, and Vue.js, and supports cutting-edge technologies like TypeScript, making it a versatile solution for building complex web applications.

The Wijmo 2025 v2 update introduces a new MultiFilter feature in FlexGridFilter, giving developers the ability to apply both conditional and value filters simultaneously. Previously, users were limited to selecting one filter type at a time, which restricted flexibility when building complex data queries. With MultiFilter, developers can now define precise filtering logic that combines conditions and specific values in a single operation, enabling more efficient data exploration and analysis. This enhancement reduces the need for manual filtering steps and provides a more intuitive experience for end users who require granular control over their data views.

Quickly Locate Specific Text in PDF Documents

September 26, 2025
Create PDF viewers that support text searching functionality using Angular, allowing users to effortlessly find information in significantly less time.

Text searching functionality in a PDF viewer allows users to quickly locate specific words or phrases within a PDF document by entering the keywords into a search field built into the viewer. It works by scanning the text layer of the PDF, highlighting matching results, and enabling fast navigation between the occurrences. Considered as baseline functionality, this very widely used feature provides an important benefit by eliminating the need to manually scroll and read through content, saving a significant amount of time when finding relevant information, especially in lengthy, complex or densely formatted documents.

Several Angular PDF viewer components allow you to search text, including:

  • Wijmo PDFViewer (part of Wijmo by MESCIUS) lets you instantly locate words or phrases in PDF files by entering search terms directly into the viewer interface.
  • Kendo UI PDF for Angular (part of Kendo UI by Telerik) provides in-viewer text search functionality so users can quickly find and navigate to specific content within the PDF.
  • Syncfusion PDF Viewer (part of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise) enables users to find and highlight matching text content throughout the PDF.

Add Related Data with Embedded Subreports

September 22, 2025
Angular report components with subreport functionality let you nest reports for master-detail, side-by-side, or conditional layouts.

A subreport in a report component is a report embedded within another report, designed to present related or supplementary data that may not fit naturally into the main report’s structure. It is typically used when displaying hierarchical, grouped, or master-detail relationships, such as showing order items within a customer order summary. Subreports can be independently designed and then linked to the main report using parameters or shared data sources. This modular approach improves report organization and reusability, especially when similar data blocks are needed across multiple reports or sections within a complex reporting solution.

Several Angular Reporting controls offer support for subreports including:

  • DevExpress Reporting lets you embed subreports in Angular via its Web Report Viewer/Designer, supporting master‑detail hierarchies, parameters, and data binding.
  • ActiveReportsJS by MESCIUS allows placing Subreport controls in main reports, passing parameters, nesting subreports, and sourcing subreports by filename or URL.
  • Stimulsoft Reports.JS facilitates subreport components by letting you add them via a designer, link to separate data sources, and configure layout and rendering properties.
