Active object

Anonymous — Mon, 20 Jan 2014 15:45:33 GMT

I have 3 charts in a container. Depending on which one is showing I want another graph elsewhere on the sheet to show information related to the active chart. Is this possible?

Thanks

Hi Adrian,

no, unfortunately this is not possible as yet: There is no way you can make QlikView realize which tab in a container object the user is looking at.

<=> It would be an idea to overlay it with a transparent button, but that doesn't work, the button then covers the tab and makes clicking the latter impossible.

=> Only solution I can think of: Replace the container with a cyclic_group or make the three charts variable_dependent, so that the user can cycle through them using a button, then you can make other charts depend on the same button.

Hi Adrian,

you can dispkay object under condition.

so if you set a variable (let's say vShow) you can turn it on/off (Set vShow = 1/0) according to a trigger.

the matter is to find a way to pull the trigger when you select a chart or an other.

I know there is a function to check what is selected for data but i don't know for a graph. But it might be a way to check whether or not a graph is active.

May be using a macro.

I hope it gives you a hand to grab

best regards

Chris
