The File Viewer control (now contained in the Content Management Toolkit) allows users to view files that have been uploaded using either the BPM File Dropzone or BPM File Uploader, it should be used in conjunction with the BPM File List.
Like almost all SPARK controls, you can trigger events that are fired when the user interacts with the control (see the Event and Methods sections below and the Event Handling article for more information).
The File Viewer relies on native capabilities of the web browser to display the content of each file type. If the MIME type is unsupported, the browser may attempt to download the file that the user is trying to view.
