How to get rid of the "... is being opened" text in browser

hugmarcel — Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:51:18 GMT

I want to get rid of the "... is being opened" message in the browser when a QVW file is being opened. The Icon on the left shall be removed as well.

How is it possible to get this? The text shall be removed only when a special qvw is being openend. Thus must depend on the qvw.

Thank you and regards!

I spent a few minutes investigating it - and it seems unfortunately that it is the IE-plugin (the OCX / ActiveX) component - a binary file - that is showing the icon and the text. That makes it impossible I think to modify this part...

ok thank you.

I understand that "document chaining with Plugin" is not really neat and possible with QV. There are too many drawbacks.

Document chaining is quite possible with QlikView plug-in. And someone has to explain to me why it is not "neat"... You can use Actions that can be triggered in a multiple of ways and with the Action it can transfer state too. So is it the UI transition with what is shown to the use that is not neat?

🙂

Here the drawbacks that I see (user clicks action on button to forward to another qvw):

1.) button action "external -> url":
    a.) Once clicking the button, the user sees the "... is opened" mesage in the browser.
    b.) the user will recognise there is another URL in the browser header.
    c.) if the user wants to return back to the old qvw, the same issues occur.
    d.) bookmarks: Work only qvw-specific. Adding a bookmark to Doc 2 will require to start Doc 1 first, push the button, then apply the bookmark.

2.) button action "external -> open another document":
    a.) Once clicking the button, the user sees the "... is opened" message.
    b.) the user will recognise there is another QVP-URL in the browser header.
    c.) & d.) Same as for 1.)

My requirement is that "document chaining" is not visible to the end user. The end user shall not see that he is forwarded and backwarded to another qvw.

Do you provide an example of 2 qvws with this kind of INVISIBLE chaining mechanism for QVPlugin?

Thank you - Marcel

It might be possible to do this with vbs-macros from inside of each qvw which stored selections, opened another qvw, transferred the selections and closed itself - but it wouldn't be easy to develop it to a stable version and might be have other drawbacks ...

set newApp = ActiveDocument.GetApplication

set newdoc = newApp.OpenDoc (path.Text & "\" & app.Text,"","")

Hi Marcus

thank you for this proposal.

However, using QVPlugin and OpenDoc method in macro, what I can do is:

Sub OpenApp

set App = ActiveDocument.GetApplication

Rem ** open new document and activate it **

set newdoc = App.OpenDoc("//myserver/QvAJAXZfc/AccessPoint.aspx?open=&id=QVS%40mydoc.qvw&client=Plugin","","")

End Sub

I am getting the same issues. The new doc is opened in a new browser window, icon and "is being opened" text is visible etc.

Regards - Marcel

It is highly unlikely that there is any kind of "fix" for this.

Opening within a new browser window could be caused from certain server settings - in qv 10 you could define if an application would be opened within a new window, the same window or re-use a window. It seems that in qv 11 those options isn't available anymore but they might be only hidden.

But at all I think Petter is right and you wouldn't get it fixed with native measures but you could of course try to customize files like the index.htm, AccessPoint.dll and the various js-scripts respectively ask qlik to customize them.
