Part 5 Sheet and Sheet Objects
Show Caption When this option has been checked a caption will be drawn at the top of the
sheet object. List boxes and other "box objects" will have the option switched
on by default whereas buttons, text objects and line/arrow objects will not.
Title Text In the text box you can enter a title to be shown in the caption of the sheet
object. Use the Font... button to change the caption font.
Set the colors of the caption in its different states. The settings for Active Colors and Inactive Colors can
be made separately from each other.
Click the Background Color or Text Color button to open the Color Area (page 412) dialog. The Background
Color can be defined as a solid or a gradient color on the Color Area dialog. Text Color can be
defined a Fixed or a Calculated color using Color Functions (page 361).
Wrap Text If this option is checked, the caption will be displayed in two or more rows.
Caption Height (Lines) Set the number of caption lines in this edit box.
The precise size and position of the QlikView object can be determined and adjusted by the size/position settings
for the Normal or Minimized QlikView sheet object. These settings are measured in pixels:
X-pos Sets the horizontal position of the left side of sheet object in relation to the
sheet's left edge.
Y-pos Sets the vertical position of the top side of sheet object in relation to the
sheet's upper edge.
Width Sets the width of the QlikView sheet object.
Height Sets the height of the QlikView sheet object.
The orientation of the caption label can be altered with the Caption Alignment options:
Horizontal The label can be horizontally aligned: Left, Centered or Right within the caption
area.
Vertical The label can be vertically aligned: Top, Centered or Bottom within the caption
area.
Special Icons
Many of the object menu commands of the sheet objects can be configured as caption icons. Select commands
to be shown as caption icons by marking the check box to the left of each command in the list.
Note!
Use the special caption icons with care. Too many icons will only confuse the user.
Allow Minimize When this option has been checked a minimize icon will be displayed in the
window caption of the sheet object, providing that the object is minimizable.
Furthermore, this will make it possible to minimize the object by double-clicking
the caption.
Auto Minimize This option becomes available when Allow Minimize is checked. When Auto
Minimize is checked for several sheet objects on the same sheet, all but one
will be automatically minimized at any time. This is useful e.g. for alternately
displaying several graphs in the same sheet area.
