QlikView Extension - Better Current Selections Box (Hiding/Translating Fields)

Better Current Selections Box is an advanced selection box for QlikView with the ability to hide and translate fields and to select different icons.

Purpose and Description

• Did you ever want to translate fields in the Current SelectionBox in QlikView?
• Did you ever want to hide fields beyond those with the prefix defined in SET HidePrefix = '%'; in your Current SelectionBox?
• Did you ever want to display different icons than the out of the box icons?
• etc.

You have probably realized that these requirements are not that easy to meet. So enough reasons for creating this solution.
