# IServerDocumentView interface

The `IServerDocumentView` represents either the document view or one of the associated panel views in Altium Designer. This interface is inherited from the [`IServerView`](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/ad-sdk-docs/reference/dxp/IServerView.md) interface.

```csharp
public interface IServerDocumentView : IServerView
```

**Namespace:** DXP · **Assembly:** Altium.SDK.Interfaces

**Inherits:** [IExternalForm](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/ad-sdk-docs/reference/dxp/IExternalForm.md) → [IServerView](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/ad-sdk-docs/reference/dxp/IServerView.md)

**Derived:** [IMBA2_SDK_DocumentView](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/ad-sdk-docs/reference/edp/IMBA2_SDK_DocumentView.md), [INexusDevicesView](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/ad-sdk-docs/reference/sch/INexusDevicesView.md)

## Remarks

The [`IServerDocument`](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/ad-sdk-docs/reference/dxp/IServerDocument.md) interface contains `IServerDocumentView` interfaces, that is, a design document open in Altium Designer contains links to a document view and at least one panel view.

## Methods

| Method | Returns | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [GetOwnerDocument](#getownerdocument) | [IServerDocument](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/ad-sdk-docs/reference/dxp/IServerDocument.md) | The OwnerDocument property returns the [`IServerDocument`](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/ad-sdk-docs/reference/dxp/IServerDocument.md) interface that the `IServerDocumentView` itnerface is associated with. |
| [PerformAutoZoom](#performautozoom) | `void` | This method forces a refresh or repaint of the document / panel view. |
| [UpdateStatusBar](#updatestatusbar) | `void` | This method forces an update of the status bar when a string is submitted to the status bar. |

### GetOwnerDocument

The OwnerDocument property returns the [`IServerDocument`](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/ad-sdk-docs/reference/dxp/IServerDocument.md) interface that the `IServerDocumentView` itnerface is associated with. An [`IServerDocument`](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/ad-sdk-docs/reference/dxp/IServerDocument.md) container stores `IServerDocumentView` interfaces which represent a document or panel view.

```csharp
IServerDocument GetOwnerDocument();
```

**Returns:** [IServerDocument](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/ad-sdk-docs/reference/dxp/IServerDocument.md)

Extension method of `IServerDocumentViewHelper` (`using DXP;`).

This read only property is supported by the `GetOwnerDocument` method.

This property returns the [`IServerDocument`](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/ad-sdk-docs/reference/dxp/IServerDocument.md) interface that the `IServerDocumentView` interface is associated with. An [`IServerDocument`](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/ad-sdk-docs/reference/dxp/IServerDocument.md) container stores `IServerDocumentView` interfaces which represent a document or panel view.

### PerformAutoZoom

This method forces a refresh or repaint of the document / panel view.

```csharp
void PerformAutoZoom();
```

**Returns:** nothing (`void`)

### UpdateStatusBar

This method forces an update of the status bar when a string is submitted to the status bar.

```csharp
void UpdateStatusBar();
```

**Returns:** nothing (`void`)
