Text Entering a text in the text field labels the button. The text may be defined as a
Calculated Formula (page 851). The text may consist of several lines,
divided when you press ENTER.
Alignment The button text can be left-aligned, centered or right-aligned.
In the Background group you can specify the background of the button. The drop-down gives you three different
basic button styles to choose from:
Aqua Default for new buttons. Gives a rounded button with three-dimensional
glassy look.
Plain Produces a traditional plain QlikView button.
System Default
Provides a solid background in the color defined for buttons in the operating
system.
Image Produces an image button. The image could be either a single static image or a
combined image with three parts, one for each of the button’s three possible
states (active, inactive or depressed).
Combined Image
Mark this radio button and browse to an image file using the Select Image...
button in order to assign a three-state combined image to the button. The
image file must consist of three images, side by side, of the button: the first
one of an active button, the second of a depressed button and the third one of
a dimmed (inactive) button.
Single Image
Mark this radio button and browse to an image file using the Select Image...
button in order to assign a single-state image to the button. Image types supported
include jpg, png, bmp, gif and animated gif.
Color Select this radio button if you want the button to be displayed with a colored
background (not available with the Image setting). The color can be defined as
a solid color or as a gradient via the Color Area dialog that opens when clicking
the color button.
Transparency Sets the degree of transparency of the button background. At 100% the background
will be completely transparent. The transparency will apply regardless
if a color or an image is used for background.
Alternate State Choose one of the available states in the list. The following Alternate States are always available.
Inherited
The sheets and sheet objects are always in the inherited state unless overridden by the Qlik-
View developer. This setting is inherited from the object on the level above, a chart in a sheet
gets the same settings as the sheet if inherited is chosen.
Default state
This is the state where most QlikView usage occurs and is represented by $. The QlikView
document is always in the default state.
Object ID The unique ID of the current button. Upon creation, every sheet object is
assigned a unique ID for control via Automation. The ID consists of a combination
of letters defining the type of object, as well as of a number. The first
button of an document will be assigned the ID BU01. Shared objects share the
same object ID. An object ID may be changed to any other string that is currently
not used for any other sheet object, sheet or bookmark in the document.
