Linking a button to open an application with a selected file from a list box.

Tue, 30 Jun 2015 17:45:43 GMT

I have created a button on one of my sheets and I can get it to open the application given but i want it to select a specific file from a list box selection and i cannot get it to work for no matter what I am trying. I am very new to QV and just recently took the basic design course, I have a very good grasp on how it works but I am going to assume this is some advanced feature that i have not even come close to touching down on. Can anyone help me?

Maybe this is helpful: AJAX and URL parameters

So you've a field with the file names of your QVW, right, something like (probably with full path instead of a relative path):

LOAD * INLINE [

File

SectionAccess1.qvw

SectionAccess2.qvw

];

Then create a Button with an External - Open QlikView Document action.

In the document expression box, enter

=only(File)

In list box for field File, select one file name.

Press the button, this should open the selected document (if the path is correct).
