Hey,
Ive got another question :
I'm using Qlikview 10 and i'm writing a macro which generates charts in excel and pdf files.
I'm showing a messagebox in my macro but i want that the messagebox dissapears in 5 seconds
if nobody clicks on the button "OK".
I tried :
WsShell.Popup("Loading charts", _
'5)
ActiveDocument.GetApplication.WaitForIdle 5000
I just want the script to wait a few seconds so it can generate my charts, if not i get a white rectangle instead of a chart.
If i work with a messagebox and i click on "OK" it generates my charts.
So any suggestions to make this work?
If you don't understand my question feel free to ask
Hope someone can help me
Hi
I Try out to find the solution for your problem and i got the solution .
But this script's will be working only in the Macro Debug mode(Click Debug button from Macro Edit Module and
check).
Solution 1:
Sub MessageBox
Set oWScript = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
For i = 1 to 1
oWscript.popup "Hi" ,1
Next
Set oWScript = nothing
End Sub
Solution 2:
Sub Messagebox
CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Popup "Hello", 2, ""
End Sub
Just copy and paste it your qlikview and create one macro button with the name of Messagebox and click the
debug button from edit module macro.
Then you will understand the problem in qlikview application .

Thx for the quick respons
I already tried those solutions but i only get a messagebox/Popupbox but it wont dissappear
(only if i click the OK button)
Hi
I hope is this not possible to close the message box based on the time period in qlikview application.

Hi,
You can have try by creating the Text object with ok and cancel button over it and set variable value in that button.
Show and hide those objects using macro based on time(using conditional option of those objects with a variable name)

so you mean that it isnt possible to close the messagebox automatically after a time period?
and why is the
ActiveDocument.GetApplication.WaitForIdle
not working?
Because my macro has to wait a bit before qlikview generates the charts.
I tried,
Sleep
wait
etc..
Nothing helped,
only if i put a messagebox in my script and if i click "OK" the chart is generated correctly.
But because its a macro who needs to run at night without userhelp, i can't use that messagebox

i don't understand what you mean
can you give an example or code?
Thx!
Hi,
Did you tried with
ActiveDocument.GetApplication.Sleep 10000
Yes,
The application waits then but after that time the application generates
the charts in excel, but we only get a blank(white) chart.
And when we use the button and click "OK" we got the real chart
Hi,
Then try using this sleep function without that msg box
Function Sleep(seconds)
elapsed = TimeSerial(0,0,seconds)
startTime = Time()
endTime = TimeValue(startTime) + TimeValue(elapsed)
While endTime > Time()
'
Wend
End Function
