Help with my first extension - how to make a selection in my data

[RSvebeck]

Hello there experts,

Need some assistance with my first attempt to make a simple extension. The basic idea is to generate some rectangles and make them clickable and connected to the data in my document.

I have successfully written the code to create the rectangles and make them clickable/selectable. However, I can not get selections automaticaly also beeing done on my data when I click on one of my zones.

I have tried this on the clic-event part: this.data.SelectTextsInColumn(0, false, "Zone1");

But nothing is happening.

Then I also did a try with simly "hard-coding" this to see if selecting anything is even possible. But still nothing.

What I would like to do is to specify which field I want to connect to my "zones" by matching my zone-objects to the field "Box" in my "Boxes table"...

Can someone provide me with the hint to make a selection like this:

[Select "Zone1" in field Box on table Boxes]

The current code and my Qlikview document provided.

I just started learning Java Script so perhaps I'm writing stuff in the wrong way - coming from the VBS tradition ....

Best Regards Robert

Found the problem myself. I had not attached the dimensions to my extension object in the document...
