Listbox border bug

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

I have a listbox with colored borders. However when I switch to webview, the right border of each listbox becomes white.

Its some kind of bug. Does anyone know how to solve this?

If you have a server-environment then you could check this with various browser. If you are only using the desktop client then your are depending on the ability from the IE which will be used for rendering this webview. If you are using older versions of qlikview and/or the IE an upgrade to a newer release might help.

Yes we are running on server environment

Since I tried multiple browsers, I think I may need to upgrade qlikview to 12 which I doubt is the problem and is not feasible at the moment.

For uploading a file, see here: Uploading a Sample.

Actually I wouldn't do an upgrade to QV 12 with a productive environment then within the last release (SR1) is a bug and the release before is the initial release of QV 12. Therefore I would upgrade to QV 11 SR12 or SR13 (please read the release notes).

I use QV 11 SR12 and don't know this behaviour but my border-colors are a simply grey without any shadows or things like that. This meant it could be that you applied any color or other layout setting to the border which the browsers-css didn't know or couldn't apply it appropriately and so they show the white-color as their default-setting.

My problem is the following:

I want to make the background of the listbox black and the border grey

In order to do that I have to change the style to anything other than "Qlikview Classic" (because that prohibits coloring). Then I can color the background black, and color the caption greay (to get the grey borders).

At this point this is what I want. BUT, when I preview in webview or access point, the right border becomes white

color the caption greay (to get the grey borders)

sounds that you didn't use the extended layout by which you could color the borders difrectly:

Further I suggest to consider the impact of the black background-coloring to the readability. Personally I need much more efforts to overview, find and then read the content if it's white respectively bright colors on dark backgrounds instead of it's reverse.

First off, Thank you Marcus for your replies

Can you explain what you mean by "extended layout"?

The picture you sent is in german. Unfortunately I don't understand german.

Please let me know on which tab to click to get to the same options as you (in English)

Thank you

I have no english version and therefore I try to translate it but it didn't matched always the english descriptions. In this case it could be also named as advanced or similar. But if you looked within the document properties within the tab general on the bottom right you will regognize the settings from my screenshot.

Hi Marcus,

I found the Styling Mode Option in Document properties you're talking about. However the option was already set to advanced. What I did is I created a listbox with black background, black caption and black borders. Unfortunately, the problem still occurs. I am more than sure its a rendering problem. I still find a white line over the right border. Its definitely looks like a bug.

I'm on Qlikview 11.2 SR11

Notice the white bug on the right

PS: This is in webview. The problem is not in the design view

Hi Anil

As mentioned in my previous post, the styling mode was already set to advanced

My issue is a rendering one that I'm still trying to figure out

Re: Listbox border bug

Then I'm nearly out of ideas - you could create an further expression within the listbox maybe with with a count(Test) which might not very useful in your case but there could be another informations which could bring an added value and maybe with this expression changed the layout.

Another possibilty is to consider to use a multibox/tablebox/table-chart instead of a listbox - to what is meant have a look here: Building a nicer, dynamic QlikView multibox The Qlik Fix!

After doing a bit of research, I found that the issue had to do with my version of qlik. Apprently the bug has been fixed in the SR12 version. I guess i'll have to wait for an upgrade

I wish to thank the qlik support team who replied to me by mail
