Normally, when I create a viewer in my own application, I do:
viewer = $("#some-div").pccViewer({ ...options });
Then I can make calls like:
viewer.viewerControl.search("Some search term.");
But in the legacy samples the Viewer isn’t set to a global variable. How can I access the viewerControl object?
If you call $("#some-div").pccViewer(); without any arguments, it will access the existing Viewer in the relevant <div> instead of creating a new one. For example, in the WebForms sample, var viewer = $("#viewer1").pccViewer(); will create a reference to the sample’s existing Viewer.
$("#some-div").pccViewer();
<div>
var viewer = $("#viewer1").pccViewer();
