Workbench - Return an array of all objects in Qlikview document

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 16:26:21 GMT

I'd like to populate a .net dropdownlist with the IDs of every object on my Qlikview document

Is it possible to iterate through each item in the document with the javascript api? I can't find any examples of this

I'd do this so that a user on the asp.net website could dynamically select which graph they wish to display on their home screen of the website

thanks

Jake

Hi Jake,

As far as I am aware you can't. You would need to loop and evaluate each object type, but that's not pretty.

Good suggestion though, I'll add it as an idea!

2 years later but you could call the methods GetAllSheetsAndObjects(callBackFn) or GetAllObjects(callBackFn).

Something like,

Qv.GetCurrectDocument().GetAllObjects(function(obj) {

//work with obj

})

OR use the - prj folder. XML file for each object in there...

Well almost at least as it won't contain objects stored in the shared file.

Not to mention that it seems a bit over the top to parse XML-files, cause I/O operations and granting system access to the application pool identity when the information is already available in the API you are currently operating within.

Just saying

Just thinking laterally...
