New to Qlik

[#1]

Hi,

So i was wondering if the is a feature in Qlik that allows you to trigger an external program (say a program written in C++) and pass data to this program from Qlik?

There is definitely a way to launch a program from QlikView. I don't know about passing the data to it. It may require use of a custom Macro which i have very little experience with (and most people say to stay away from Macros). But if you create a trigger or button you can associate an action to be taken. One of the actions is External-> Launch program.

Hi Ross

You can use a button with a LAUNCH Action to run an .exe  and pass parameters that you want.

to take them, you can use the selected or possible values from a field you can use either GetFieldSelections() or Concat() .

Good luck
