Qv

Examples

Example 1: Capture the event when a selection have been made in a listbox.    
var doc;
var lb;
qvInit = function () {
    doc = Qv.GetCurrentDocument();
    lb = doc.GetObject("LB36");
    lb.SetOnUpdateComplete(listboxUpdated);
}
listboxUpdated = function () {
    var selected = this.Data.GetSelected();
    //"selected" is now an array of objects
    alert(selected.length + " selected items");
    //loop through the array
    for (var i = 0; i < selected.length; i++) 
    {
        //get the "text" property
        var text = selected[i].text;
    }
}
Qv.InitWorkBench({ View: "Movies Database", BodyOnLoadFunctionNames: "qvInit" });

Example 2: Clear selections in a listbox. The function "clearSelection" must be called from your code.
var doc;
var lb;
qvInit = function () {
    doc = Qv.GetCurrentDocument();
    lb = doc.GetObject("LB36");
}
clearSelection = function () {
    lb.Data.ClearSelections();
}
Qv.InitWorkBench({ View: "Movies Database", BodyOnLoadFunctionNames: "qvInit" });

Methods

AddExtension(name, extensionPaint)

Function to call in the JavaScript for a QlikView extension to register the extension.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`name`	String	Name of the extension
`extensionPaint`	function	Paint function for the extension

Example

The following would be, for example, for an extension contained in
C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Local\QlikTech\QlikView\Extensions\
Objects\MyCompanyName\MyExtensionName

The code below would be in a file named script.js contained in the above 
directory. Any associated JavaScript and css files would be contained alongside 
this file.

Note that the exact path above might vary depending on your Windows version and 
whether you are deploying the extension in QlikView server or QlikView desktop.

Example 1:
function paint()
{
    var htmlElement = this.Element;
    var data = this.Data.Rows;
    // Render extension here.
}

Qv.AddExtension("MyCompanyName\MyExtensionName", paint);

Example 2: This example illustrates how a css file for the extension could also 
be loaded.

function paint()
{
    var htmlElement = this.Element;
    var data = this.Data.Rows;
    // Render extension here.
}

Qv.AddExtension("MyCompanyName\MyExtensionName", paint);
Qva.LoadCSS(Qv.GetExtensionSrc("Extensions/MyCompanyName/MyExtensionName/MyStyles.css"));

GetAllDocuments(callbackFn(object[]))

The supplied callbackFn will be called with the documents, as an array of document objects, as parameter

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`callbackFn(object[])`	function	Your function which will be called with an array of documents in the data parameter

Example

function init() {

    Qv.GetAllDocuments(function(docs) {
        // process array here.
    });

}

Qv.InitWorkBench({ View: 'FilmsWebView', BodyOnLoadFunctionNames: ['init'] });

GetCurrentDocument() → {Qv.Document}

Returns a handle to the current QlikView document. Can be used from an extension to access Document data regardless of the document name.

Returns:

Reference to the object.

Type: Qv.Document

Example

var myDoc;

Init = function() {

    mydoc = Qv.GetCurrentDocument();

    // Work with document here.
}

Qv.InitWorkBench(
{ 
    View: 'FilmsWebView', 
    BodyOnLoadFunctionNames: ['Init'] 
});

GetDocument(document) → {Qv.Document}

Returns a handle to a QlikView Document with a specific document name.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`document`	String	The name of the QlikView document (without extension).

Returns:

Reference to the object.

Type: Qv.Document

Example

Init = function() {

    var doc = Qv.GetDocument("FilmsWebView");
    // Work with document here.
}

Qv.InitWorkBench(
{ 
    View: 'FilmsWebView', 
    BodyOnLoadFunctionNames: ['Init'] 
});

GetExtensionSrc(extFilePath, isDocExtopt)

Get path to extension files, like images

Parameters:

Name	Type	Attributes	Description
`extFilePath`	String		Extension file path
`isDocExt`	Boolean	<optional>	If the extension is a document extension

Example

var extPath = 'Extensions/MyCompanyName/MyExtensionName/';
    var img = document.createElement("IMG");
    img.src = Qv.GetExtensionSrc(extPath + 'myImg.png');

InitWorkBench(config)

Initialize workbench. If you need multiple documents you insert one function call to Qv.InitWorkBench for every document. NB! there can only be one value per page for the following parameters (QvAjaxZfcPath, BodyOnLoadFunctionNames, CSS ) so make sure you put them in the first call to Qv.InitWorkBench (if you want to set them). At a minimum you must supply the parameter View in the call.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`config`	Qv.Config	Configuration data for the connection to a QlikView document

Examples

Qv.InitWorkBench({ View: 'Films' });

Qv.InitWorkBench({ View: 'Films', BodyOnLoadFunctionNames: ["MyInit", "MyInit2"], CustomIcons: {CA:"NewClearAll.bmp", CD:"NewClear.bmp"} });

LoadExtensionScripts(filesArray, callbackFn, isDocExtopt)

Load javascripts needed for QlikView extension object.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Attributes	Description
`filesArray`	Array.<String>		Array of javascripts
`callbackFn`	function		Function to be called when scripts are loaded
`isDocExt`	Boolean	<optional>	If it's script for a document extension

Example

function scriptsLoaded()
{
    alert('scriptsLoaded fired');
}

function loadScripts() {
    var files = [],
        extPath = 'Extensions/MyCompanyName/MyExtensionName/';
    
    files.push(extPath + 'myJSFile.js');
    Qv.LoadExtensionScripts(files, scriptsLoaded);
}
