Hi,
Is it possible to create widget that stay on my desktop? say a chart that reloads autmatically based on certain time.
Where should I start?
Hope you can help me on this.
Thanks,

With a widget, do you mean a Gadget in Windows 7 (or Vista)?
In that case the first start would be to look into the following about developing Gadgets:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb456468(v=vs.85).aspx
Next would be to populate the gadget with information from QlikView Server using Ajax. If you're running v11 you can use div-tag integration to make life a bit easier (see section 8.5 in QlikView Workbench manual). If not you need to write some additional javascript to handle the Ajax integration.
Attached is a small example that will fetch a single object from the QlikView demo site to get you started.
Note: This example is provided as-is and may or may not work in future releases.
If you don't want to build your own gadget I know there is at least one partner that created out-of-the-box gadgets (google QlikView + gadget).
Cheers,
Bjorn
Thanks for this, now I already have an idea where to start.
I'd like to try my system. Can you help more. the enclosed sample failed on my system.
thanks.
In what way did it fail?
my document qlikview adress:
Attach Files "gadget.zip" my file
I think it is for this reason
sample :
http://us.demo.qlik.com/QvAJAXZfc/opendoc.htm?document=qvdocs/Call%20Center.qvw&host=Demo11
Well, the gadget is just a wrapper for the page Flyout.html. This page shows an example on how to use the new div-tag integration introduced in QlikView 11 to simply integrate a single object in a html page. You should be able to launch Flyout.html directly in your IE browser (ignore any warnings about same-origin).
Authentication needs to be dealt with elsewhere. I didn't take this into consideration as it's outside the scope of actually creating a gadget (that's why I used the public demo site as an example).
If you want a full fledge gadget look at my tip above
Cheers,
Bjorn
hi Bjorn Wedbratt,
their own system, I copied the same document. ( "Call Center "document )
my system is QlikView 11.
Why not run with the same div tag ?
thanks.
