"grouping" multiple objects in Qlikview8.5

Hi All,

Is it possible to group 2 objects together, so that when one of the objects is minimised, the other is as well? In MS applications, you can group multiple images, to make 1 image when moving around the page?

Please advise,

Kind regards,

Rich

Rich,

It's been awhile since v8.5 but I think this method will work: set a variable say vShowObjects and set it to '1'. Create your 2 (or more) grouped objects as normal and under the conditional show Properties > Layout > Show enter 'vShowObjects=1' so now both objects will only be visible if the variable = 1.

To control set a button to alter the variable via an Action (If not look at the 'API Guide' to find the macro script) to set the variable to '0' - this will cause the objects to disappear. Another button then appears (set to show when vShow Objects =0 which runs an action to set the variable back to =1...making the objects appear.

This can be altered along the lines of my Qlikview Xmas card (http://community.qlik.com/media/p/151488.aspx) the minimize button of the 'object' is calling an action in the same way as above.

Hope that helps,
