Silverlight Button is not showing up

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 16:26:21 GMT

Hi,

I just testing Silverlight hello world apps. I tried by creating a simple button action. I embedded the button in the partial html as object inside a div tag.

I adjusted the div tag height and width and tried few other things, but I cannot see the button inside my extension object. But when I am right cliking the extension object I can able to see the silverlight pop up.

Any Ideas where it went wrong!

Please find the attached .qar file which contains my extension. In that folder I placed a sample html which shows in browser fine. But the same code is set as innerHtml element which is not showing up.

Hi Madhan,

I clicked on the QAR, opened up a document, pulled the extension onto the sheet and it showed up fine. Here's a screenshot, with some added text to prove it

So, are you sure the extension is installed in the proper directory? Usually this is C:\Users\<<your name>>\AppData\Local\QlikTech\QlikView\Extensions\Objects\

What version of QV are you using?

It is showing up the box in my QV but not the button.

I attached a sample.html file in the extension dir. when it is loaded in the IE or browser I can see a button. But when I tried the same code via Extension means I cant see the button except the Silverlight object inside the rectangle. Pls find the attached screen shots.

I can get it to show up everywhere using the same code you attached so I'm wondering:

Are you sure the extension is installed in the proper directory? Usually this is C:\Users\<<your name>>\AppData\Local\QlikTech\QlikView\Extensions\Objects\

What version of QV are you using?

Does that html file work in Internet Explorer and not just Firefox?

I am using Windows XP so the path is relative to documents and settings\username\...

Myself installed the same .qar file and opened the qlikview and added the extension.It is showing just a black outlined div tag, inside the silverlight control is there. I cannot see the button there.

I am using Version 10.00.9061.7 SR3

In both IE and firefox it is showing correctly. In IE it is showing usual ActiveX warning and allowing it, works. But not inside the Qvw file. .

Even Just tried in 11 Beta, it is not working

That's really weird. Are you running Internet Explorer 6?

Using IE8. In your screenshot it shows Install Silverlight runtime. What happens after installing the Runtime.

I tried by changing the Color of the background and the button and deployed it again.Still the button inside the Silverlight control is not showing up.

So you're saying the reason it's showing up for me is because I already have silverlight installed?

Very strange. I just tried the extension on a machine without silverlight installed and one with it installed. Both worked fine. I can't seem to break your extension

I have this same problem. A very simple silverlight app that does not show up in QV but can be seen in IE/Firefox.

If you right click on the block (div with border style) the Silverlight menu pops up. But there is nothing in it just like Madhan's screenshot.

Does anyone have a sample QV Extension object that embeds a silverlight app? I can't find one anywhere...

Thanks!

I found there is version incompatiablity also.

Qlikview Ocx is not loading in 2010 or later versions of VS.

But in VS 2008 it is working fine.

I tried with interopratablitiy for converting com to latest versions using .NET tools, but everything failes. Atlast I changed back to 2008 VS.

I will try to develop a simple app in 2008 and embedd it. (But we are using same .NET framework for sample silverlight app - in both 2008/2010 or later) Need to check this and reply to this chain
