Get QlikView version from within an Extension Object...

patrik_seger — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 16:26:21 GMT

I need to find out the QlikView version (and build) from inside my Extension Object. I haven't browsed through the Qva or the qva yet, maybe its there somewhere.

Anyone that could give a hint?

Hi Patrik,

You can get this by utilizing the system function named QlikViewVersion() which will give you something this 11.20.11922.0409.10.

On your Definition.xml:

<Text Label="Document :" Initial="" Expression="=QlikViewVersion()"/>

Then on you Sript.js access the Text you defined above:

alert("QlikView Version:"+this.Layout.Text0.text);

Hopefully this helps.

Thanks,

Arnold
