Description

Environment:

QlikView 12.20 SR 6
QlikView 12.30 IR

Information provided on this defect is given as is at the time of documenting. For up to date information, please review the most recent Release Notes, or contact support at support.qlik.com with the ID XX-11111 for reference.

Cause

Bug:

QV-15735
QV-16236

Resolution

Fixed:

QlikView 12.30 SR1

It is no longer possible to change SingleObjectActiveIndex in the container properties from a macro. In order to compensate for that limitation, a new method on the Container object has been introduced: ShowSingleObject. It takes the new active index as input parameter.

Thus, what once could be done by the following macro:

set co = ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject("CT01")
set cp = co.GetProperties
ai = cp.SingleObjectActiveIndex
ai = 2
cp.SingleObjectActiveIndex = ai
co.SetProperties cp

It can now be achieved by:

set co = ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject("CT01")
co.ShowSingleObject 2
