  I added a report viewer to my WinForm. My section report has bookmarks. For me to see my bookmarks in the sidebar I have to click the Toggle Sidebar button and then click the Document Map button at the bottom.
  
  Is there any way to force it to show by default? I also don’t want to see the thumbnails.
  
  I tried
  
  Me.rptViewer.Sidebar.Visible = True
  
  Me.rptViewer.Sidebar.ThumbnailsPanel.Visible = False
  
  Me.rptViewer.Sidebar.TocPanel.Visible = True
  
  Me.rptViewer.Sidebar.TocPanel.Expanded = True
  
  but this shows the sidebar with the thumbnails displayed. I only seems to hide the thumbnails button at the bottom, not the actual panel, and I have to click the document map button.

  Thanks

  Hello Brian,

  Please use this code just after you load the report into the viewer:

  Me.rptViewer.Sidebar.Visible = True
  Me.rptViewer.Sidebar.ThumbnailsPanel.Visible = False
  Me.rptViewer.Sidebar.SelectedIndex = 1
  

  Hope it helps.
  
  Thanks.

  Mr Mohitg,
  
  Brilliant !! Thanks. The documentation does not make many things clear at all. If not for you guys I would be up a creek.
  
  Thanks again
