QlikView objects are accessible by means of Automation from external programs, for example programs written in Visual Basic or C++ supporting Automation.
Such code can be used to control QlikView from other applications or from stand-alone programs.
Stand-alone executable files can be invoked from a QlikView document by means of launch buttons.
