QlikView web-view

Hello,

until QV 12.5 SR3 QlikView used the IE to render the web-view within the desktop client. Are there possibilities to change it to Edge for this release respectively which QlikView and OS releases are needed to get such a possibility?

Marcus,

 

I wasn't able to find anything about changing the desktop within the desktop client. However, for the Accesspoint I was able to find this KB article on how to run IE plugin through Edge :

Our issue is not related to the IE plugin else to the web-view within the desktop client. Background is a modification of an extension with current html/js-features. The IE development stops some years ago and doesn't support modern web-features like the current browsers Edge/Firefox/Chrome does. In the end it leads to differences between our access point usages and the web-view from desktop client respectively to syntax errors. Developing and maintaining multiple versions of the extension is IMO not expedient.

Therefore the question how the hard-coded rendering with the IE within the web-view of the desktop client could be changed? The topic that the IE has reached its end of life and will be vanished in a few month isn't new and Qlik has already done some adjustments to it like your provided link hinted and therefore it should be also some solutions or at least a road-map exists how the web-view could be upgraded. Maybe I'm a bit naive but I think it shouldn't be very expensive from a technically point of view ...

Anyone? Any hints? Maybe to technically details of the implementation or to any restrictions? Maybe it could be customized ...

Many thanks.
