Recovering Custom Properties Values

Clever_Anjos — Wed, 28 Jan 2015 23:35:44 GMT

I´m sorry about the näive question

I´ve searched the doc http://help.qlik.com/sense/en-us/developer/#../Subsystems/Workbench/Content/BuildingExtensions/HowTos/Ext_Ex_WorkWithPro…

where I can read "You then find the selected values in the layout parameter."

I´ve been debugging the layout object for the last two hours and I can´t find my custom properties,

I´ve created them as below,

How could I get the value of RadEnd for example?

items : {
  dimensions : {
  uses : "dimensions",
  min : 1,
  max : 1
  },
  measures : {
  uses : "measures",
  min : 1,
  max : 1
  },
  sorting : {
  uses : "sorting"
  },
  addons : {
  uses : "addons",
  items : {
  RadStart : {
  ref : "RadStart",
  label : "Start Angle",
  type : "number",
  defaultValue : "-90",
  min : "-90",
  max : "90"
  },
  RadEnd : {
  ref : "RadEnd",
  label : "End Angle",
  type : "number",
  defaultValue : "90",
  min : "-90",
  max : "90"
  },

Hi,

Not sure if this is the reason, but you set the type to "number" and your default value is a string. Try this instead:

radEnd:{

ref: "radEnd",

type: "number",

label: "End Angle",

defaultValue: 90,

min: -90,

max: 90

}

Thank you ewg, tried this as you suggested, but still not working.

Where inside "layout" object (as help says) I would search for my properties?

My Sense is showing my parameters as expected

Have you tried to console out the layout variable from the paint function?

paint: function($element, layout) {

            console.log(layout);

Also you can try to delete the visualisation from the Qlik Sense app and add it again, so it gets instantiated properly.

Hope it helps

Karl

Yes, I´m doing the way you suggested.

I have deleted my visualization, added again and nothing changed under layout. Am I right? My properties would be part of "layout" object?

Hmmm, try

radEnd:{
ref: "properties.radEnd",
type: "number",
label: "End Angle",
defaultValue: 90,
min: -90,
max: 90
}

ewg, thank you so much for your valuable time,

found error here when I´ve used JSlint,

There was an "," at this line after "use: settings", it was not generating an error at console, but caused this issue
