Forms :: Navigation Between Forms Via Custom-menu?
May 23, 2011
what is the basic workaround to provide to switch from one form to another form via custom-menu at runtime?
I attached a menu-item to every of my forms and I can call them seperately from the forms builder. But I am not able to switch between the forms then. If I am clicking on a menu-item, I get frm-40010.
P.S. I'd prefer to close the current form, if the new form has been opened. Do I have to control this seperately or is the closing of the last form default?
I'm looking for a solution to navigate through the drop down menu (APEX-Region-Plugin two level menu) by using the tab key and short-cut keys. How it could work?
'm using go_item to open the canvas but the cursor doesnt want to focus on the item. I have to mouse click the item before I can enter any data or tab through it.
I have 2 non data base blocks, these 2 blocks act like master details but there is no relation. In header block i have 2 fields called "Product name" and "Product Type"
in detail block having 2 tab pages one having multi record(20 item number and name displayed on it) another one having single record but it has around 20 image items displayed on it.
My requirement is once i enter the product name and then if i press either "key tab" or "Key Enter" or "Mouse Move" from product name field into product type field then detail record should be populated automatically without using go_block and go_item.
I would like to know if with Oracle Forms Builder 11g, we can use mouse instead of TAB to validate record? And why Forms Builder use TAB or ENTER Key to validate record? I have a SAVE button, but i want to replace the TAB navigation validation by the mouse click. Is it possible?
A requisition application shows the latest requisition details in the homepage and allow the users to go particular requisitions (extract) details from a button (CALL_FORM), also they can modify the records in that form.
I want to give an EXECUTE_QUERY (WHEN-WINDOW-ACTIVATED) when im returning to the home page and the cursor should return to the last row where i was.
do this from navigation triggers (with out writing a select statement in when-window-activated).
We are facing below issue in Oracle forms 10g( Rel 10.1.2.0.2) with Windows XP professional.Application server J2EE 10.1.2.0.2).
We have a multirecords block. After navigating to last record by clicking mouse in scroll bar and change values in a column by clicking mouse in column to change, cursor control is moving to some other record(where cursor is located previously) and current changed value it is showing as not fully validated.
Eg: We have columns like below in multirecords block
If am changing last records price to 20 then press tab key, cursor will be moved to second record and cursor will be highlighted in security 2. column price where we changed to 20 also not validated to show as 20.00 with 2 decimal format mask.Along with this we are getting below error message ' FRM-41008 - Undefined function key, press Ctrl + F1 for list of valid keys.After changing the price we are pressing the tab key only.
This occurs randomnly and when we querying more than 2000 records with multiple times.
I have developed customer entry form, its working fine. I have 2 display items on form. One is country name & other is region, these are fetched based on country id LOV.
Now I want to display country name & region at time of navigation. I have written following code on WHEN_NEW_RECORD_INSTANCE of block.
****** DECLARE CCNTRY_ID VARCHAR2(2); CCNTRY_NAM VARCHAR2(25); CREGION VARCHAR2(11); begin select cntry_nam,region into ccntry_nam,cregion from cntry where cntry_id=ccntry_id;
exception when no_data_found then message('NO DATA FOUND'); end; **********
I always get message not data found on navigation. Problem is only with the display item other, values of database columns are being shown.
I am trying to disable mouse navigation on data block or text item,. What i want is to my text items in specified block be keyboard navigable only.
The problem is that i don't have that option on text_items or data block (my conclusion: probably because it is not possible to change mouse navigate option for text item or data block).
I have also tried in WHEN-NEW-BLOCK-INSTANCE trigger
I have a requirement to get decrypted value of national_identifier from database and display in Social Security number, when user queries for employee in employee form of HRMS. Also, National_identifier should be in encrypted format in database table always.
To meet above requirement, I am using custom.pll. In WHEN-NEW-BLOCK-INSTANCE I am getting decrypted value of national_identifer from database and assigning it to :person.national_identifier(database block) by using COPY function, so far it is working as expected.
When user query for employee, he/she able to decrypted value. but if user closes the form it is asking 'Do you want to save changes you made' as there is a change in :person.national_identifier.
Do we have any property to reset record/block status to something like unchanged, so we will not get 'Do you want to save changes you made message'.
i have created one custom block in that i am taking one value in text_item and on 2nd form i have data block on that block i want filter by using WHERE clause
in that where clause i want to compare value which is taken in custom block by user..what need to write in where clause?
I want to test custom Jar files with Forms 6i from my desktop, but I cannot get the Run Form->Web to work. Is it possible for the run time to load the just jars for PJC when you do Run Form -> Client/Server? So far, when I have done this, it does not execute any PJC.
i am developing a application using oracle forms 10g. i can't use the standard template.fmb because my application does not run in ebs. there comes the problem: i want to implement the lov button function like the template does, such as :
1. when the text item get focus, lov button display.
2. when the text item lost focus, lov button disappear.
3. when scrollbar scrolls, the position of lov button adjust accordingly.
4. there is only one lov button in one form and the lov button was created dynamically.
I would like to know if it's possible to use PIPELINED return inside a custom library with Oracle Forms Builder? For now, i try to use it, but i get error about client side.
my code.
PACKAGE TEST IS TYPE measure_record IS RECORD( l4_id VARCHAR2(50), l6_id VARCHAR2(50), [code].......
the body compile, but not the other part. I would like after call the select * from test.get_ups(0); with a cursor into another function.
I have data block that has hundreds of records. On a screen I display 20 records at a time. On that same screen I have "find badge" function where user types badge/employee id and presses a button to find the record in a data block. I have no problem finding the records in a list and pointing the curser to appropriate record. My question is (which is a user request) if the badge/employee id is found to make that record to be the first record in a list.
I wanted to develop a custom form which is not related to oracle apps. I don't want to login to oracle and use the form. I wanted it to be like standalone form (use it as a tool) where I can automate the process of migrating the code from one instance to another, on click of button. Can I create standalone form and run without logging to oracle?
I am using Developer 10g R2. From menu module i want to check the status of the report server. also when the status is shutdown then reportserver will be start otherwise run the report.
In forms 11 g, whenever, We did any menu change, and deploy in server, same changes are not reflecting in clients machine immediatly. I even stop forms services and restart.After some time... generally after 1 day, it reflect the new changes.In forms 10G, I never face this issue. As soon as i close the old menu and re-open, new changes reflect.

I called an application from Oracle forms using: Client_Host('cmd /c START "" "\localPathmyApplication.exe"'); This works fine on local as well as server.
But when I use the same command to call the application directly from the MENU ITEM, it gives error alert: "WebUtil Error: oracle.forms.webutil.host.Host bean not found. WEBUTIL_HOST.Execute will not work."
I even tried using DDE.App_Begin(). This gives error: ORA-106561. How can I call any application (.exe) directly from the menu item on the server?
