In my code I try to attach to a running instance of QlikView, but I always get an excpetion. I think I have the correct classname (CLSID) but apparently not so. I use QlikView 9 SR4 (64-bit). I have tried avery combination of running both Visual Studio and QlikView as administrator and normal user. The DirectCast will faile everytime.
I have tried several CLSID beside "QlikTech.QlikView" : QlikView.Document, QlikTech.QlikView.9, 86777794-415E-11D1-934D-0040333C91CC, 6E1BAAF6-ECB9-4505-86C1-5D04467B02CC.
Can anyone help me find the correct id? Or just know the solution.
Private Function GetQV() As QlikView.Application Dim App As QlikView.Application = Nothing Dim processes As Process() = Process.GetProcessesByName("Qv") If processes.Length > 0 Then Try App = DirectCast(Marshal.GetActiveObject("QlikTech.Qlikview"), QlikView.Application) Return App Catch End Try End If Return Nothing End Function
