Sending commands to Qlkview

I am not really sure what your VB6 code does, but if it's just like preparing something like a one-click-selection, look into the bookmark concept of QlikView, i.e. you as a designer can prepare some bookmarks for common user selections / scenarios and offer the user these document bookmark right from the start.

You can also use so called triggers to set a selection / bookmark OnOpen of a document (or for some other events).

So, I would suggest that you look into triggers and bookmarks.

Hello,

The vb6 program has a lot off logic , wich as result could end-up with a SQL request for some needed data

Now I do this by generatimg a SQL inside VB6 and present the resulting windows works ok

But, its a lot off work to give the user to scroll through the resulting VB6 pop-up screens with info

No starting to play with Qlikview I can do this easier by clicking on same choices they else made in their

working program in VB6

Thus contunue form them to scroll on more data they do that easier in qlikview

But !,  now they will click anyway in their working program for the first call on there SQL request choises

          if they want to more with that same call in the Qlikview pogram wich is minimized but alive at moment

          it would be great if by some way ( if I knew how i was not on this forum offcourse)

          Qlikview follows the same query instead of doing this twice, once in their working program

          once in the Qlikview again

Maybe you can compose an URL from your VB code to open the document with appropriate selection:

You can make the selections in QV using the VBScript API. That would not be possible if the document was hosted on the server -- in that case use the URL technique swuehl suggested.

I'm not sure how the user is making "selections" in your VB6 app, but I would disagree that making those selections in QV would be cumbersome. I think it would be easy. Plus you get the faceted search as you moved through the selection. e.g. once you select "parent is divorced" you may find that there are no eligible players with dogs.

Thanks Rob

For now I believe when users start working with my new program they will find them selves in a situation

while adding new customers to the CRM database in my program, they want to look in existing database records

for all kind off information , and stay in my entry screen  (they need that due to possible to place a order at same moment)

Then the Qlikview will be in a state based on last search/view , it would be great if the qlkiview can be mastered from my program in behind that it follows all active screens /fields in my program, offcourse if its there

Its like in Qlikview itself , cliking certain tables let the other tabels follow right away

thus """qlicking" in my program let Qlikview follow in behind when maximizen Qlijkview, its right there
