QlikView 10 SR 4 Undocumented Workbench API Change - BodyOnLoadFunctionNames()

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

We recently upgraded from QlikView 10 SR3 to SR4 and noticed that our application stopped executing the onUpdate events for objects. The current documentation demonstrates the following...

var MyQvObject;

MyListIsUpdated = function() {

alert("Number of enabled values: " +

MyQvObject.QvaPublic.Data.GetEnabled().length);

}

MyInit = function() {

MyQvObject = qva.GetQvObject("LB1457", MyListIsUpdated);

}

Qva.BodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push('MyInit'); // notice the use of the name as a string

</script>

QlikView 10 SR 4 now requires actual functions not strings...

var MyQvObject;

MyListIsUpdated = function() {

alert("Number of enabled values: " +

MyQvObject.QvaPublic.Data.GetEnabled().length);

}

MyInit = function() {

MyQvObject = qva.GetQvObject("LB1457", MyListIsUpdated);

}

Qva.BodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push(MyInit); // notice the use of the name as a string

</script>

You can also do this now...

var MyQvObject;

MyListIsUpdated = function() {

alert("Number of enabled values: " +

MyQvObject.QvaPublic.Data.GetEnabled().length);

}

Qva.BodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push(function() {

MyQvObject = qva.GetQvObject("LB1457", MyListIsUpdated);

}); // just pass in the function

</script>
