How do I enable toggle between multiple QVWs?

scheibercamo — Wed, 25 Nov 2020 16:16:04 GMT

I downloaded Qlikview on a new system and since I have not been able to use ALT + TAB to easily toggle between different qlik files.

Currently I have to manually select a different QVW from the File dropdown menu.

Any workaround for this? It's rather inconvenient.

Thanks!

Hi,

It should not be any issue, can you try to reboot your machine and try to test again. by the way which version are u using it? Thanks

To use Alt+Tab to toggle between qvws they must be opened in separate instances of QV.

Open QV and load a qvw.

Open QV again and load a qvw.

Now you should be able to use Alt+Tab.

Ok, is the issue remain after reboot? hopefully it should work after reboot (i too faced this kind of wired issue during my desktop development) after reboot it's resolved. so give a try and let us if it's working

I tried rebooting and that didn't seem to work (I did try that a few days ago as well). Unfortunately nothing seems to be working

Thanks for the response. What do you mean by load a QVW?

That's what I assumed. Unfortunately that doesn't work either

Hi,

Is the Alt +tab short cut menu working after reboot/re-start machine ?

No it is not. I have rebooted and restarted multiple times.

Can you Alt-tab between OTHER applications, other than QlikView?

You have to open a separate instance of the Qlikview application in order to have it work that way.

All - I still have not been able to find a way to get this to work. Please let me know if you can think of another way to do this. Thanks!

Ricky, This is what I see when I use Alt-Tab to switch between QlikView documents (et al). I can select either instance and it opens. What do you see?
