QlikView object model

[#1]

Can someone provide me a document about QlikView's object model that is not as confusing as the API Guide they have? I need to know every sheet object's properties and methods but with the API guide QV has provided it is very hard to figure out. Especially when the Macro editor has absolutely no help to see what each objects' properties are.

QlikView reference manual covers each object type very well.

Each object is an xml so you can export the document layout to check each XML file.

Just create a folder as QVWName-PRJ near to your qvw file.

This does not help either. It gives detailed information for all menus and sheet object properties but what I need is something like API Guide that explains what functions each object has and how to use them in Macros.

e.g.

set postBagPath = ActiveDocument.Variables("PostbagPath")

GetBagPath = postBagPath.GetContent.string

It is very hard to see that postBagPath has a method called GetContent and to know what it actually returns.

There is QV application APIGuide.qvw.

You did not read my original post. Did you?

I couldn't figure out from your original post if you really meant the QV application APIGuide.qvw...

Anyway, this is the best info that exists, as far as I know.  Yes, it is somewhat confusing.

It seems you are looking for a API document that should have all the method call trace in detail.

Almost.

Because unlike Visual Studio or other IDEs, VBScript does not give you a single hint on whether what you are writing makes sense or not. So it's hard to know what each object contains. So there should be an API guide that can help us with this. The API GUIDE qvw they provided is very confusing to me

HI

I am new to Qlikview and I'm looking for the same type of info. Specifically how to connect to via script  create a hard copy of the objects to a word or pdf. Would appreciate any pointers anyone has.
