In our dashboard I have created different buttons for different search options like 'Wildcard', 'Fuzzy' etc..
The user has to click on the button and then enter the word to apply that specific search..
However, the user did not like the buttons and was asking if it can be done as a radio button to make it more obvious that that particular search functionality is enables.
Please suggest what are other button options do we have in qlikview.
You can add Actions to Buttons, Gauges, Line/Arrow objects and Text Boxes.
Of these I find text boxes more flexible than buttons, as I prefer the style of text objects and you can use an image instead of the default style. You can use images to make a text box appear to be a radio button.
Your replies did help me in learning other ways of meeting my requirement.
However, I have more than 10 tabs and has more than 3 buttons that I need to change in each tab. To make simpler i just added a formula for the calculated color option: =If($(variable) ='N', RGB(255,255,255),RGB(128,128,128) ) to make it more obvious that which search is been selected or enabled.
I guess this should be fine for now. But going forward will take the approaches mentioned in your posts.
I just noticed that when you set a listbox to the "Windows Checkbox" selection style (Presentation pane) and set "Always one selected" the listbox uses a selection indicator that looks like a radio button.
