Trigger on clear?

[#1]

Working in QlikView, I realizaed there is no trigger on clear button.. For example if you want to give variable, specific value, on clear, it isn't possbile.. The only way is to create button that will do clear through macro..

Am I right or wrong?

Tnx.

Hi all

I've tried using the above example and amended to NMiller's suggestion for QV9 and it doesn't appear to be working for QV10? The macro works fine standalone, just the trigger is not working OnSelect? Has something cahnged again in QV10?

Thanks

Sorry, just tried the change to OnSelect in Rakesh's example and it works fine in QV10. As Vrbcic, it appears to be something else in both our apps that seems to be stopping the trigger from firing? Back to headscratching!

Okay, I've isolated the problem. It appears if you set a clear state (on another field not this dummy one obviously) then the trigger doesn't fire on the change of field a. Attached I've modified Rakesh's example qvw to replicate the error.

I can't see anyway around this apart from "simulating" my clear state in the macro i.e. don't set a clear state, but everytime IsClear macro is fired it does my selections in the macro.

Is this a bug? How do you report bugs to Qlikview so they have it on their radar to fix for next release?

Did anyone make an improvement to this?

I would need to run a macro on clear but don't find any trigger that fires when I select clear.

No, sorry, I've not found any other way of doing this, I've had to not set a clear state in my app and manually simulate the clear state in my Macro in order to get around this.
