As you may already know, we recently released a production-ready WinUI Document Viewer for DevExpress Reports. Like other platform-specific Document Viewers, you can use this new addition to our reporting platform to display, print, and export report documents within your next WinUI-powered application.

Your Feedback Drives Future Development
WinUI is a rapidly evolving platform. We expect to evolve alongside the platform and will enhance our WinUI Document Viewer throughout this year (our goal is to offer feature parity with its WPF counterpart).
If you are targeting or considering the WinUI platform, be sure to comment below to give us better understanding of your plans and use-cases. Let us know if you would be interested in a Ribbon Toolbar for the Viewer, the ability to select and copy previewed content, and tell us your thoughts on interactive features like editing fields (or anything that comes to mind).
