Is the "minized style" option removed in QV9?

[daan_koster]

Hi,

We are in the process of upgrading from QV 8.5 to QV 9 (9.00.7440.0409 SR3) and we wonder why the "minized style" presentation in QV 9 is differs from 8.5. As "minized style" for all object we use "Clasic", this default can be set on [document properties] - [General]
(dropdown value's "sketched Icon" & "Clasic"). In QV 8.5 this works as you would expect.

In QV 9 all minimized objects are shown by default in "sketched Icon" style and the "minized style" dropdown is
removed from [document properties] - [General] [:(] ?!

Is the posibility to set the "minized style" removed from QV9 or could it be set somewhere else?

Thank you for your support
Regards Daan

Hi Daan, I'm dealing with this problem too.

Reading release notes, you can see that the minimized style properties are obsolete but they can be used.

Unfortunately i tried the following macro but with no success:

sub minimizedStyle()
set prop = ActiveDocument.getProperties
prop.MinimizedObjectStyle_OBSOLETE = 0
ActiveDocument.setProperties prop
end sub

So I'm thinking that the only solution is to restyle every single document !!!!

Anyone have some news?

Bye

Hi Claudio,

Thank you for your investigation. I checked your code but no success on my configuration.Therefore we are forced to restyle most of the documents.

According to QlikTech support we are the second customer having a problem with the removal of this basic layout feature, you are number three i assume :-).

I wonder why QlikTech had to remove this option, would be nice to understand why we are forced to do some redesign work after upgrade to QV9.

Hi Daan, these are two other threads that speak about this problem .... however nobody found a solution.

My big problem is that a lot of object have caption truncated, so if it could help I use this script to set the height of the minimized objects and to make the font smaller (less work to do for the restyling).

sub setMinimizedIconSize
for i = 0 to ActiveDocument.NoOfSheets - 1
set s = ActiveDocument.GetSheet(i)
Objects = s.GetSheetObjects
for j = lBound(Objects) To uBound(Objects)
set obj = Objects(j)
if not (obj.getObjectType=5) then

set frame = obj.GetFrameDef

set pos = frame.MinimizedRect
pos.height = 70

obj.SetFrameDef frame

set properties = obj.getProperties
if(obj.getObjectType >= 10 and obj.getObjectType <= 16) then
set layout = properties.graphLayout
else
set layout = properties.layout
end if
set captionFont = layout.frame.captionFont
captionFont.fontName = "Tahoma"
captionFont.bold = true
captionFont.pointSize1000 = 7000
obj.setProperties properties

end if
next
next
end sub

What QlikView could do about the these icons (that IMHO are quite useless) is an option to disable them or to set their size.
