Container question

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I'm looking for some suggestions here.

Let's say I have a container and it has two charts (CH1 & CH2).  When I click

on the CH1, I want to set a variable say vCH1 = 1. How would I do this?

Thanks

As far as my knowledge it is not possible. You can achieve this by using macros on IE and not with Ajax.

Also you can use  a button and a variable to show/hide these two charts outside of the container.

Hi,

Instead using container, in a lot of cases i prefer deal with text boxs. Mainly because text boxs allows what you're trying to achieve by defining variable value on clicking.

See my attached .qvw.

Can you explain in contextual instead of simple the use case of variable set up. We may have better offers for you?

Thank you for all your inputs.

Thanks for sharing the idea of using a textbox to mirror the functionality of a container. 

The reason I asked how to set a variable when a chart inside a container is clicked is we have an app

that has this design.  We want to show some legends/labels to explain the different calculations on the chart.

For example, both CH1 & CH2 have a calculations called "Revenue".  However they have different meanings.

So I was thinking to use a textbox and have these definitions defined.  When CH1 is clicked, show TB1.

I am just giving a very simplified explanation here.  These charts have many other calculations which need to

be explained as well.
