Hide status bar

manisha_uit — Wed, 15 Jul 2015 09:44:07 GMT

Hello everyone,

I want to hide the status bar (at the bottom of the app) which displays last refreshed date and time at the right bottom. It can be done from View -> statusbar, but this option is system dependent.

My requirement is if i switch off the status bar from my system, it should not appear in any of the users' system without having him manually hide the status bar option.

It this possible?

Thanks,

Manisha

As you said, this setting is not per document and will not be stored in a QVW.

If you have a policy to not show this bar, you would need to disable the bar when installing the desktop client, either manually or using a installation script (I believe it's a setting stored in a file on the windows clients).

Add this line to the [Settings 7] section of the settings.ini file:

HideStatusBar=1

The settings.ini file is usually found in the QlikTech folder in the Roaming folder in the AppData folder of the user profile.

Thanks for your response.

Your solution works in my app but doesn't work when other user opens it as it takes the default value HideStatusBar = 0

Maybe a daft question...but why do you want to hide it?
