Print Sheet not working in Java applet

Mon, 27 Sep 2010 17:29:01 GMT

I've been unable to create a "Print Sheet" macro that works in the Java applet. I've tried the following:

sub PrintSheet
ActiveDocument.ActiveSheet.PrintOut false
end sub

sub PrintSheet2
ActiveDocument.ActiveSheet.Print
end sub

Both work in Qlikview developer, neither work in the Java applet. Any ideas? Using Qlikview 8.5.

Tremendous thanks for any assistance.

That's probably a Java client restriction. See the QlikView Server Reference Manual (8.5), page 169 for more details. This may or may not be a macro that is supported with v9, I'm not sure.

Btw, QlikTech is discontinuing the Java client as of v10 because of bugs such as this one that make it less usable overall. AJAX is the wave of the future...

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I use to work in web development so I know what you mean about AJAX, that's definitely where my long-term hopes lie.

So that page in the reference manual seems to be referring to the AJAX ZFC, so far I haven't been able to find a similar summary for the Java client we're using. Thanks though.

Sorry, I meant page 169 of the numbered pages. It's page 171-72 in the PDF.

Aha, thanks for the clarification. However, while I see the section on "Limitations in Java clients.." I'm not sure which of these would apply. Are you referring to "Launch/Export buttons have no function"? Here's what I'm seeing in that section just to make sure we're looking at the same doc. Thanks again.

Either that or the last one: Use of VBScript is restricted. I'm not sure, but I suspect that it's one of those...if you need more details, you should probably contact Support (support@qlik.com).
