Opening new objects on selection and populating below on screen.

Still in my first 3 months of learning.

I have a Grouping column that brings in A, B and C.

When A is selected, I want a container to appear (which will have some graphs within in).

So when A is selected from the group column, the container with the graph for Group A appears. When there is no current selection, it should not show any of the containers.

So if A has another column with 5 lines of data, B has another column with 10 lines of data, C has 20, the data per group appears and the remaining space below the table of data is used to fill the remaining bottom of the screen. So if A and 5 lines of data, say 95% of the bottom of the screen would be an empty space so the container will appear right below it, Group B has 10 lines of data, so say 80% of the screen is empty so the container would fill this 80% of the screen and Group C has 20 lines of data so 50% of the screen so C's associated container would populate in here.

So when Group A appears, only Group A's container appears, when B is selected, only B's container appears and so on but fills the space below the screen?

I know in C++ and Java, OnClick() is the equivalent. What would the equivalent be for Qlikview?

Thanks. Hope this all makes sense.

On the layout tab of the Container under the show option

write the expression:

If(Getfieldselection(<YourFiledanme>) = 'A' for container to pop up when A is selected .

If(Getfieldselection(<YourFiledanme>) = 'B' for container to pop up when B is selected .

If(Getfieldselection(<YourFiledanme>) = 'C' for container to pop up when C is selected .

That's exactly it.

I was able to resize the containers to maximise the space from ther.e

Thanks again
