"Always one selected value" on IE

[#1]

In this case I use a macro that selects a value and sets "always one" option. And when clicked on next tab it has to set the "always one" to false. It works perfectly fine on QlikView Desktop on a server machine but when accessing the same application through IE it is not functioning the way it has to. It is not able to set the field properties to "always one selected" to false on IE.

sub selet1
set flds = ActiveDocument.Fields("test")
set vals = flds.GetPossibleValues
flds.Select vals.Item(0).Text
call SetOnlyOnes("test")
end sub

sub clear1
call clearSetOnlyOnes("test")
ActiveDocument.Fields("test").Clear
end sub

sub SetOnlyOnes(OnlyOne)
set fld = ActiveDocument.GetField(OnlyOne)
set prop = fld.GetProperties
prop.OneAndOnlyOne = true
fld.SetProperties prop
end sub

sub clearSetOnlyOnes(OnlyOnec)
set fldc = ActiveDocument.GetField(OnlyOnec)
set propc = fldc.GetProperties
propc.OneAndOnlyOne =false
fldc.SetProperties propc
end sub

please let me know if I am missing anything.

Thanks

Priya,

some of the APIs are not designed to work in the Server environment, especially those related to the UI objects. This particular attribute should actually work, since it belongs to the object "Field". It might be a glitch - I'd recommend reporting it to support.

As a side comment - I'd encourage you to analyze your business problem and to try and eliminate the need in manipulating these properties "behind the scenes". Those manipulations are causing confusion for the end user that can't get used to any consistent behavior. Any selections made "behand the scenes" make users uncomfortable with the tool ("things are happening without my knowledge and without my control").

Usually there are other means to satisfy the same business requirements without "playing" with selections.

cheers,

Hi priyadarshini,

Any news from QLIK Support if this defect has been fixed and rolled out ?

I don't think they fixed it. Because I recently tested on Qlikview 9.00 SR6 through IE and it is still an issue.
