Dropdown with check box.

Can we create a dropdown button with check box?

I know that dropdown can be created with multiple box and check box can we obtained with List box.
But is there a way to create a drowndown button which lists the field values with a check box?

Hi Vinoth,

I think there is no direct option in list box with Allow drop down.

And

There is no direct option in multibox with checkbox.

Finally,so we can't create a dropdown button with check box.

Vinoth,You may be do

Select the Always One Selected Value checkbox on the Presentation tab after selecting the field you want. You also need to select a value in the field before the checkbox will enable.

This will allow you Always One Selected Value as checkbox functionality. but unfortunately,visually we can't represent Checkbox button.

If u want exactly how its looking in image,then there is no direct inbuilt functionality in Qlik.

But there is always way,Dolike this,

1)For select with drop down Use Text object with Down arrow image on it.

2) once u click on that set I variable say var=1

3)again create series of text object one below other,which all u want to see once clicked on arrow.

4) Next once u click on the particular Attribute from the list of values,set one more variable say var2=1(store var2=1,2,3,4 etc fr each value in the drop down)

5) Then create each list boxes just down to select text object,and show each text bject based on selection (GO to layout tab of list box n make them conditional based on var2)

6)For check box in list values go to presentation and select the windows check box option.Also reomove caption and align list box with select text object as per ur image.

Hope this helps.Try doing !

PFA. Please note, this simple solution has a drawback; since this is controlled from Document Properties (General->Selection Appearance)/User Preferences this feature gets applied to all the list boxes.
