In my dashboard I have some simple buttons for the selections (lock, unlock, clear). I was wondering if there was a way to have these buttons flash a different color than their standard when they are clicked, say for 1/2 a second or so to let the user know they are working? I was unsure if you can use some modified VBA in the calculated color, I don't think so but am not sure. I don't think this is worth creating a macro but if anybody has an idea please let me know.
HOWEVER - What that blog entry fails to mention is the massive downside to setting thigs to flash on and off every second; becasue you're using the now() and mod() your variable has to be re-calculated by Qlikview EVERY second so can be a massive drain on CPU. This is compounded when you add other parameters to your conditional show; eg when Sales are over X.
I'll never forget the face of a Qliktech employee when I first suggested this a principal few years ago; suffice to say he didn't think it was a good idea.
