Why extesnions work in AJAX/Webview

[shree909]

Hi,

can someone give an reason why extenions Only works in Webview/AJAX client.

[hic · Accepted solution]

Extensions are objects created with web technology, e.g. html, java script or flash player. The WebView client is a web browser running inside QlikView, and - hence the extensions work.

The older QlikView C-client, written in C++ as a windows program, is not browser based and has really very little with the web to do. So, extensions do not work.

Thanks for the response,

if i use the extenions in access point through  Internet explorer will this work.

If you use the Ajax client, yes.

But not if you use the Internet Explorer Plug-in. Both clients can be invoked from the Access point, and both can run in IE

Thanks a lot for clarifying the issue.

could u please give an explanation why macros  only  work in IE but not AJAX.

i know that macros wont support  safari browser?

becoz macros are made up of VB script  which can be used in IE and safari  dont support Macros(vb script)

Is there any other reason??

could u elaborate on this

Thanks

Same reason. The macros are code that access the COM/Automation interface of Windows, mostly running client-side. So they work fine in the C-client,

But in a web environment there is no way to access the COM/Automation interface - the client isn't perhaps even Windows.
