Document Extension to remove grey toolbar in QVS

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

I've gotten several requests for a way to remove the grey toolbar which shows up when viewing QVWs on QVS.

I've attached here an extremely simple document extension which gets the job done.

Just figured I'd post it here in case it can help someone.

Thanks!

For removing the AJAX toolbar?

Document Extension to remove grey toolbar in QVS

Nice, I guess Alexander posted that a while ago. Oh well, this one is basically the same thing. I will say that using a document extension is a better idea than modifying the htm pages or js native to Qlikview since that causes support and upgrade issues.

Actually, I just realized that the way Alexander and I set up our extensions won't work if you have your sheet tabs hidden. So I've updated the extension above to use the SetToolbarPaint method instead which will run regardless of the tabs being displayed.

Ye what is really bugging me is that the toolbar and tab row should not be connected...
Oh well, I only really posted an example that should be further enchanced. Sadly we will still got a floating "Switch to small device mode" (If it's turned on) and a Close option that feels a bit out of place without the toolbar to highlight the features.

I would suggest that we also target the toolbar-nav div and set the style attribute there as well - Not sure in which order we load that in DOM though...

The close and the switch to small devices are loaded even before the user cal/session cal authorization on the server, so you can remove them without problems in an extension.

Hi,

does this perhaps not work on 11 SR2? I installed the extension, add it in the settings and press OK but when I immediately show to the extensions again this one isn't shown on the right hand but on the left hand as if I never selected it...

Thanks

Martin

It should work - ran a similar extension (the exact same code base with some additions) yesterday on 11SR2 and it worked fine.

The extension did not work for me (QV11 SR2).

I copied the C:\Program Files\QlikView\Server\QlikViewClients\QlikViewAjax\opendoc.htm file and called it OpenDocNoToolbar.htm.

I then replaced the HTML with the following...

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<head>

</head>

<span class="ctx-menu-text">Close</span>

</a>

</li>

</ul>

<span class="ctx-menu-text">Loading...</span>

</div>

</div>

var qva;

function Init() {

var doc = Qva.ExtractProperty("document", null);

var re = new RegExp("^(//[^:/]+(?::\\d+)?/)?([^#]+)");

var segm = re.exec(doc);

doc = segm && segm[2];

var invite = Qva.ExtractProperty("invite", null);

if(invite) doc = "";

if(doc != null) {

qva = new Qva.PageBinding();

qva.View = doc;

qva.Autoview = "";

qva.ShowDocumentTitle = true;

qva.AuthenticateUrl = '/QvAjaxZfc/Authenticate.aspx';

new Qva.Modal();

new Qva.Scanner(qva);

qva.AutoViewAppend (null, qva.DefaultScope, 'servercontrol');

new Qva.Collaboration(qva, document.getElementById("MainContainer"));

Qva.DragDrop.DropDefault = {

'Inside': function(pos, type) {

if (type == 'Field' || type == 'Dimension' || type == 'ObjectType') {

return { 'Element': 'Document.ActiveSheet' };

} else if (type == 'Object') {

return { 'Element': 'Document.ActiveSheet', 'Dialog': 'Drop.qvpp' };

} else {

return null;

}

};

new Qva.Extensions(qva);

qva.AddManager({

'Name': qva.DefaultScope + ".Modal",

'Paint': function (mode, node) {

var width = parseInt(node.getAttribute('width'));

var height = parseInt(node.getAttribute('height'));

var name = node.getAttribute('value');

var url = Qva.Remote + '?public=only&name=' + escape(name) + '.htm';

var params = node.getElementsByTagName("param");

for(var i = 0; i < params.length; ++i) {

var key = params.getAttribute("key");

var value = params.getAttribute("value");

url += "&" + escape(key) + "=" + escape(value);

}

Qva.Modal.instance.Show(qva, url, width, height, true, "QvModal_SessionCollaboration");

}

});

qva._Send("add", "Document.ActiveSheet", false);

} else {

alert("No Document");

}

Qva.SetContextMenu (document, function(event) { return qva.OnContextMenu(event); });

Qva.Start();

}

function CloseSession() {

document.body.style.background = "";

$('#MainContainer, #Tabrow, #QvAjaxToolbar > ul:last').html("");

$('body > script').nextAll().remove();

qva.Enabled = false;

qva.Ready = function () {};

qva.OnContextMenu = function () {};

qva.SendClose();

var $closebtn = $('#Close');

if ($closebtn.length) {

$closebtn.find('.ctx-menu-text').text($closebtn[0].RestoreText || "Restore").end().show()[0].href = 'javascript:RestoreSession()';

}

function RestoreSession() {

window.location = window.location;

}

function Assert(exp, message) {

if (!exp) {

if(message) { alert(message); }

debugger;

}

return exp;

}

if (typeof(Qva.Mgr) === "undefined") {

Qva.GetDebugFiles(Init);

} else { Init(); }

</script>

</body>

</html>

Then for the Document/s you want to remove the tool bar add the URL as below -

When you access the document through the client browser you should see the OpenDocNoToolbar.htm is in the URL.

By doing this it removed the Tool Bar and Close button.

I also wanted my Document to automatically scroll through each sheet every minute, as the Document was to be shown on a TV screen in the office. You can do this using the Show Sheet Conditional on the Sheet Properties.

Create a variable called vShow and then use an expression to give the variable a value. For instance, my document has 5 sheets and I wanted to show each sheet for 1 minute, so my expression looked like this...

=if(right(time( now(),'m'),1)=1 or right(time( now(),'m'),1)=6 ,1,

if(right(time( now(),'m'),1)=2 or right(time( now(),'m'),1)=7 ,2,

if(right(time( now(),'m'),1)=3 or right(time( now(),'m'),1)=8 ,3,

if(right(time( now(),'m'),1)=4 or right(time( now(),'m'),1)=9 ,4,

if(right(time( now(),'m'),1)=0 or right(time( now(),'m'),1)=5 ,5)))))

So my vShow value would either be 1,2,3,4 or 5 depending on the current minute. You can use any expresion that suits the number of sheets you have and the frequency you want to show them.

For each sheet then update the Conditional value i.e. Sheet 1 would be vShow=1, sheet 2 vShow=2 etc

Now everyminute the sheet should change automatically. If you need to make changes to sheets just change the vShow expression to the sheet number you want to see - this saves you having to wait for the document to go through all the sheets.

For me the browser didn't automatically scroll through each sheet, so I installed Easy Auto Refresh for Chrome which lets you specify how many seconds between each browser refresh. Now I can run the browser in full-screen mode, sit back and watch it scroll through each sheet every minute.

Hi All,

Any ideas how to remove it from the Ipad or Iphone Qlikview App not just the web browser?

Re: Document Extension to remove grey toolbar in QVS

Brian_Munz — Mon, 04 Nov 2013 20:07:03 GMT

Sure, it should be relatively easy, using a document extension to detect the device then removing the bar based on the device. There are device detection document extensions here on community.

This has worked great so far at my client. Unfortunately not all the toolbar is removed now I've upgraded to 11.2 SR4.

Has anyone been facing this since upgrade?
Does anyone know how to modify the htm file to get this working again?

Thanks a lot!

Hey guys

Does anyone have the equivalent of an idiots guide for usage of the nobar.qar addon?

I am not exactly sure how you go about using addons.

Thanks

John

Id like to add a bump to this, has anyone gotten this to work on SR4 or greater? sr5 or 6?

Re: Document Extension to remove grey toolbar in QVS

Alexander_Thor — Fri, 02 May 2014 15:09:58 GMT

Yup, just downloaded the extension and it works on my SR5/6 server.
