Change background in forms 10g?

When we compile and run the form in forms 10g output is displayed. Can we change background? Can anybody help me to change the background in forms 10g?

see you /forms/server/forms.conf file that contains the virtual directories declared
# Virtual path mapping for Forms Java jar and class files (codebase)
AliasMatch ^/forms90/java/(..*) "D:\Oracle9i/forms90/java/$1"
# Virtual path for JInitiator downloadable executable and download page
AliasMatch ^/forms90/jinitiator/(..*) "D:\Oracle9i/jinit/$1"
# Virtual path for runform.htm (used to run a form for testing purposes)
AliasMatch ^/forms90/html/(..*) "D:\Oracle9i/tools/web90/html/$1"
# Virtual Path form images
AliasMatch ^/forms90/icons/(..*) "D:\Oracle9i/CGENF61\ADMIN\ICONS\PC/$1"
...you can create as many virtual directories as you want.

Can i change Background of forms runtime?

Hi,
I'm using running forms 10g in IE8.There is a log on screen in which the oracle default background is displaying.Is there any option to change that with an image of my own.
i tried changing the entry in formsweb.cfg to
# Forms applet parameter
background=F:\Pics\oraclered.jpg
but it's not displaying the image.If there is an option for this,please quot it here.
Thank you

hi
what i suggested you do the same.
if you have pic in jpg format so plz convert it into gif format
and then you can use the same gif for background and as well as for logo.
and if you do not want to use gif then modify the Registry.dat
and modify the following.
default.icons.iconpath=
default.icons.iconextension=gif <------------------------------- change to jpghope this helps you

Changing the language in forms 10g

Hi All,
My windows operating system was installed without setting my language, after that I installed forms 10g
The forms didn't read my language, I setup my language on the operating system but it still question marks when I try to write it (???????) in the form builder.
Any solution please...

Ciao Haytham,
In the Registry:
On Windows systems,
You can easily modify this subkey with the Windows Registry Editor:
Start -> Run...Type "regedit", and click "ok"Edit the following registry
entry:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOMEx\where "x" is the unique number identifying the Oracle home.HOME0 is the first installation
There you have to set an entry with name NSL_LANG
e.g. in Italian
NLS_LANG (Value name)
ITALIAN_ITALY.WE8MSWIN1252 (Value data)
Hope this you solve

Forms 10g installed and running on Windows Vista

Update 12-Dec-2008: Oracle has published NOTE 559067.1 -- How to Install Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2 - hence 10.1.2.3 - on Windows Vista, 24-OCT-2008 with some installation help.
Update 07-July-2008: Added text at the bottom showing how to find patchsets for Forms 10g.
Update 29-May-2008: This thread was started in November, 2007. In January, 2008, Oracle released Patch 3 for Forms 10g, which makes Forms 10g compatible with Windows Vista. As time permits I'll try to keep the information in this post up to date. Updated information will be inserted as blue text.

Original message begins here:
This is a second thread I am posting to outline the steps I have used to install Forms on a Windows Vista Home Basic laptop. The other thread describes installing Forms 6i:
Forms 6i installed and running on Windows Vista
Please read through the initial part of that post for the background. I realize Oracle has not certified Forms 10g to run on Vista, but the time has come for my associates and I to upgrade our old computers to new desktop/laptop platforms, and I would hate to acquire XP machines and be stuck with them for the next 5 years. (Note: Since first posting this message, Oracle has certified Forms 10g Patch 3 (version 10.1.2.3.0) to run on Vista) So after another person informed me that he had Forms installed and running on Vista, I went ahead and bought one. I found that as long as I set the compatibility mode to run Forms programs as Windows XP (and a few other changes), Forms 6i and 10g run quite satisfactorily.
Update 29-Jan-2008: Unfortunately, it turns out that the Forms 10g Builder running on Vista had a major flaw: If you try to develop a form, the Builder will crash if you try to compile a procedure that calls another procedure in the form that has errors. The problem is reported and described in this thread: Error compiling a form under Vista
Update 12-Mar-2008: Installing Patch 3 on Vista does not help with this problem -- the Builder still crashes in the same situation.
Update 25-July-2008: Applying Patch 7047034 has corrected the problem. See this link within this thread: Forms 10g: Installing Patch 7047034 on Windows Vista
Webutil note: I am stuck in a Forms 6i client/server world, so all my forms must run in that environment. Therefore I have not used any Webutil software, and I do not know whether that part will run under Vista.
Internet Explorer note: On Windows Vista, IE CANNOT be used to run the Web Forms runtime. It crashes immediately when you try to run a form. Instead, I can use either Firefox (Firefox 2, Firefox 3.0 Crashes with Forms 10g) or Netscape, as long as they are set to disable java. [ Correction: IE7 on Vista now runs the Forms 10g forms. You just need to add "?config=jpi" to the browser URL when starting the Web Forms session. More IE/Vista info: [url=http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=642973]Vista JInitiator Problem ]
The Oracle Developer Suite download page:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ids/index.html
Oracle Developer Suite Installation Guide:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25016_07//doc/dl/core/B16012_04/toc.htm
The steps below are those I followed to install Forms 10g (version 10.1.2.0.2)
I. Preliminary system changes in Windows
When I started installing, I got the following error message: Install has encountered an error while
 attempting to verify your virtual memory settings.
 Please verify that the sum of the initial sizes of
 the paging files is at least 256 MB.To fix this: Go to Control Panel, System and Maintenance, View amount of RAM and processor speed (under "System"),
Advanced system settings (in left "Tasks" column), Advanced tab, Settings (under "performance"), Advanced tab:
Virtual Memory shows a "Total paging file size for all drives: 2337MB.
Click "change", Uncheck "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives"
Click "custom size:", set Initial size to: 2048, Max to 4096
Click set button, then OK, get message:The changes you have made require you to restart your computer before
 they can take effect.Restart the computer.
II. Installing Forms 10g
1. Download two files from Oracle:
ds_windows_x86_101202_disk1.zip (626,122,752 bytes)
ds_windows_x86_101202_disk2.zip (236,880,881 bytes)
2a. Before extracting, it is a good idea to shut down any virus protection software. It can sometimes prevent some files from being created.
2b. Extract both into the C:\oracle directory, as disk1 and disk2.
3. Using Windows Explorer, change the properties of setup.exe in the C:\oracle\disk1 folder. (In windows explorer, right click, properties, Compatibility tab.) Change the compatibility to run as Windows XP (Service Pack 2).
4. Right click setup.exe and click "Run as administrator"
5. Select "Installation type" = Complete (1.11 GB)
6. Received this message:Windows Firewall has blocked this program from
accepting incoming network connections. If you
unblock this program, it will be unblocked on all
public networks that you connect to.
C:\users\steve\appdata\local\temp\orainstall...
2007-10-29_11-59-08am\jre\1.4.2\bin\javaw.exeI clicked "Unblock"
7. Received this message: "Provide outgoing mail server information" I entered the smtp mail server that I use.
8. A summary screen displayed showing 274 products under New Installations.
I clicked the Install button.
9. Received this message: You can find a log of this install session at:
C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs\installActions2007.....log
10. The installation completed. Installed products shows Forms 10.1.2.0.2
III. After the install completed
1. Create a shortcut to the Forms 10 Builder on the Desktop.
On the shortcut line, after the .exe, add *userid=userxxx/pwxxx@orcl* so Builder automatically logs into 10g database. If you do step 4 below (creating an easily-accessible folder to use for your forms) change the "Start in" path on the shortcut so it points to that folder. Otherwise, Forms Builder will not find referenced objects and PLL libraries when it opens a form. Also do the same on the Start, All Programs shortcut for the Forms Builder.
Edit: After applying Patch 3, the following steps are not necessary.
Set its compatibility to Windows XP.
Set checkbox: "Run this program as as an administrator." (Without this, FormBuilder will NOT open a PLL library.)
Click the "Show settings for all users" and change values there.
2. Copy "Start OC4J Instance" icon to desktop.
Set its compatibility to Windows XP.
The first time it runs, I got a Windows popup to unblock program named Java. I clicked "Unblock".
3. tnsnames.ora:
Rename C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
to: tnsnames_orig.ora
If you created a tnsnames.ora file for Forms 6i, just copy it to the path above. If not, do this:
Create a new tnsnames.ora file, copying entries old file on my old laptop, which contains all the connections I use.
Delete the old laptop entry, replace with new entry for the new local ORCL connection on new laptop from tnsnames file renamed from the c:\oracle\... ...\10.2.0\db_1\ path.
4. Optional: Create an easily accessible folder to store fmb files:
C:\users\steve\.1\fmb10
You don't really want to keep drilling into C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\forms, and then find your .fmb file among the several dozen oracle-supplied files.
To create a folder named .1, you have to open a CMD.exe (Windows DOS) window, and type the Make Directory command:
MD .1
That will create the folder within the current directory -- mine defaults to C:\users\steve
Note: If you also need to use Forms 6i like me, DO NOT EVER open a .fmb file in the Forms 10 Builder from the Forms 6i folder. If you compile it, or even worse, save the .fmb, Forms 6i *cannot ever* access the file. Instead, always use the File Manager (Windows Explorer) to copy the fmb from the fmb6 folder into the fmb10 location.
5. Change the Forms 10g Default.env file using a text editor.
This file replaces all the settings originally written to the Windows Registry (GREAT idea, Oracle! I hate the registry.) No more Regedit. The default.env file is located at: (DevSuiteHome_1 path)\forms\server\default.env
Locate line with: FORMS_PATH= and add:
;C:\users\steve\.1\fmb10
Add a new line:
FORMS_MMAP=FALSE
The above allows compiling an fmx while the form is running.
Add a new line:
FORMS_ROWLOCK_OPTIMIZATION=FALSE
(This fixes Oracle bug number 3949854, which prevents automatic skipping if the same value is typed over another value. TAR 4806199.993 Automatic Skip failure...) See bug 4068896
Add a new Line:
FORMS_RESTRICT_ENTER_QUERY=False
This allows use of Query-Where window in enter query, after entering a colon in any input field. Without this, Forms returns FRM-40367: Invalid criteria in field nnn in example record. Oracle shut it down to prevent "sql injection" attacks.
6. Jiniator setup:
Run file jinit.exe in C:\oracle\DevSuiteHime_1\jinit\jinit.exe
It installs Jinitiator 1.3.1.22.
I installed it in C:\oracle\JInitiator 1.3.1.22\
For Firefox, make sure a copy of file \bin\NPJinit13122.dll resides in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins.
For Netscape, the path is: C:\Program Files\Netscape\Navigator 9\plugins
7. Browser settings
See the note above about using Firefox 2 and not Firefox 3!
In Firefox 2 go to: Tools-> Options-> Content
Uncheck the "Enable Java" checkbox
--Firefox terminates if this is not done!
Note: After my system automatically installed updates to either java or Firefox, re-check the "Enable Java" setting. I am suspicious that one of these installs re-enables java in the browser.
Also note: some web sites cannot display properly if java is disabled. Example: U.S. time website: http://www.time.gov Use Internet Explorer to view these.
In Netscape make the same changes as Firefox. Without disabling java, it also terminates when you try to run a form.
Creating a url to use in the browser:
Try this:
http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet
If it does not work, change the 8889 port number as follows:
Open file: C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\install\portlist.ini
Note the number in line:
Oracle Developer Suite HTTP port = 8889
Use the number as the port number.
You can also change the 127.0.0.1 to the computer name:
Control Panel, System and Maintenance, See the name of this computer (under "System"). Mine is "steve-PC"
So the alternate URL is: http://steve-PC:8889/forms/frmservlet
To try out the URL, start the OC4J instance set up above. Then start either Netscape or Firefox, and enter the URL. You should get a welcome screen.
If the above URL works, start up the Forms Builder, and open Edit, Preferences. On the General tab, uncheck the "Build before running" check box (optional). On the Runtime tab, set the "Application Server URL to the url above.
To run a real form, add this to the URL after frmservlet, (with no spaces):
?form={formname}&userid={userxxx}/{passwordyyy}@{connect-string}
but replace the parts in curly braces with the appropriate values. Example:
http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet?form=ABC&userid=abc123/zyx@orcl
Setting up Forms Builder to directly run a form in the browser:
Run the Forms Builder. Go to Edit, Preferences, Runtime tab.
Set the Application Server URL to:
http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet
(or use whatever URL string you developed above)
Set the Web Browser Location to:
"C:\Program Files\Netscape\Navigator 9\navigator.exe"
(or an equivalent to run the Firefox browser).
8. FORMSWEB.CFG file changes
The file is located at:
C:\ORA_DS_101202\DevSuiteHome_1\forms\server\formsweb.cfg
I changed the following two lines in the file, but these are my personal preferences:
separateFrame=true
lookandfeel=Generic
9. FMRWEB.RES file changes
For Oracle help: Enabling Key Mappings
The file fmrweb.res defines actions (triggers that run) when a function key is pressed while running Forms. The one released has unix-style key mapping, but I prefer keys originally mapped for Windows PC Forms users. There is a fmrpcweb.res in the same folder that can be renamed to fmrweb.res.
In the C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\forms path, I renamed fmrweb.res to fmrweb_orig.res.
I have a file that I prefer to use, so I put it into the folder as fmrweb.res. The contents are listed below. It is organized so the most important keys are listed alphabetically at the top (URFD column is the sort column), followed by a group of less-important keys. These are keys that are available to users, but they either would not use, or are disabled within most forms. The URFD column in the second set starts with a hex A0 character, which is a high-order space, so collates after normal alphabetic characters. (Note: If you want to copy the text below and use it, the hex A0 character has been changed by the forum software to a space. So you would need to use a text editor with hexadecimal character capabilities to replace the space with the original character. )
My file has special keys defined for F2 (I use it for a debugging Key-F2 trigger in my forms), and a "Cursor to Home" F12 function. All the rest are pretty much the same as in the released fmrpcweb.res file, only mine are organized alphabetically on the URFD column.
The Web Forms fmrweb.res file is editable using any programming editor (NOT MS Word!!!). The old Client/Server key mapping file, fmrusw.res, could only be changed using the Oracle Terminal program (and it is a pain to use).
Here is the main part of my fmrweb.res file:#

I followed your instructions and installed Developer Suite 10G on Windows Vista Home Premium edition. I have Oracle 11G DB running on the same machine.
Two points, Steve:
1. When I tried to set the maximum virtual memory to 6110 an error message displayed from Windows and told me that I can't set the maximum virtual memory to more than 4096. I set it to 4090 and it worked and I got nothing wrong during the installation process.
2. After installing JInitiator and disabling Java on Firefox I called the http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet page and everything seemed to be OK because the Oracle Forms Services logo appeared and then a successful installation message appeared , but as I clicked (ok) to continue a gray screen appeared inside the browser (like the one displayed when you try to run a Java applet inside a browser) and then I wait to death till something appears but sadly nothing. I just get a blank gray screen inside my Firefox browser.
Do you have any idea what to do to solve the problem?

How to change background color in List of Values (LOV) ?

Hiya
In Forms 10g, the background color in list of values (LOV) is White whereas it was grey in Form 6i. Also, the position of 3 buttons i.e. Find, OK and Cancel on LOV is different than what it used to be in Forms 6i.
Is it possible to change the background color and the position of buttons of LOV in Forms 10g ?
Cheers
Mayur

I would like to share the outcome of this issue.
I had posted this same issue on Metalink yesterday. They (Metalink guys) have confirmed that its an bug in Oracle 10g DS R2 and it would be fixed in subsequent releases.
Following is an official response from Metalink:
This issue has been addressed to Oracle Development to be investigated/fixed in the published Bug:
Bug 1559776 <BACKGROUND COLOR SETTING FOR LOV OBJECT DOES NOT WORK ON WEB>

Change background color of textbox based on non-visible value

Hello,
I have a 10g master - detail form. I was wondering how can I change background color of text box (NAME) based on non-visivle item (MODIFIED_BY) value.
So far, I have created two visual attributes and have put following code on "WHEN_NEW_BLOCK_INSTANCE" trigger
if( :main.MODIFIED_BY = 'COCO') then
     SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('main.NAME',VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE,'VA_BLUE');
else
     SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('main.NAME',VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE,'VA_RED');
end if;
     But, it always goes to "ELSE" part and make RED color for all records. Could you please help me with this?
Thanks.

Got it.
Post Query trigger on block
     if (:main.MODIFIED_BY ='COCO') then
          set_item_instance_property('main.NAME',current_record,visual_attribute,'VA_BLUE');
     else
          set_item_instance_property('main.NAME',current_record,visual_attribute,'VA_RED');
     end if;Thanks

Forms 10g 10.1.2.3 with Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0 in Win 7 64bit

Hi all
i am not able to open the application forms developed with forms 10g(10.1.2.3 ) in IE8.

Forms 10G Replacing Oracle Logo in Menu Bar

Hello:
Forms 10G Replacing Oracle Logo in Menu Bar
We use lookAndFeel=oracle which gives Oracle Logo in the Manu Bar at top right corner.
What is the simplest way to replace this with our own logo?

Key Mapping in Forms 10g

Dear All,
I have migrated forms 3.0 in unix to forms 10g in windows 2003 server.
In my older version, '+' key is mapped to do COMMIT. I want to map the same key in forms 10g. i tried the same in my frmweb.res. Pls find the mapping done by me below.
*107 : 0 : "Add" : 36 : "Commit"*
This works fine.
The Issue is ... My cursor is in a text item .... I entered some data and press " + " key to save. The data is saved but at the same time the data in the text item is erased and + is getting replaced in the text item. I dont want my data to be erased and replaced with "+" symbol.
How to map the "+" just for COMMIT and should not replace the data in the text item ?
Can anyone help me to solve this issue...
Thanks in Advance

Unfortunately, sometimes the role of the developer is to educate the user/management what can/can't and should/shouldn't be done. If I were in your postition, I would make every effort to educate the user/management this this is a REALLY bad idea and encourage them to use the standard key mapping or use a modifed key mapping that uses just the F-Keys.
The problem you have to overcome is that you have to not only tell Forms to do something different when the '+' key is pressed, but you have to have a listener in your application that is listening for the '+' key and supress the '+' character. To my knowledge, this cannot be done with native Forms built-ins. You would have to write your own Java solution (JavaBean or Pluggable Java Component [PJC]) to suppress the '+'. I have found that if you can provide the user/management with a cost estimate associated with the effort needed to code a particular feature. Once they realize the level effort and more importantly the cost associated with coding a particular feature, they typically will change their mind and see reason.
I know this is not what you wanted to hear, but I hope it will help anyway. :(

Re: Opening a pdf file through form 10g

Dear Mark
I have downloaded the PDFviewer.zip file and followed all instructions.
I user Oracle forms 10g.
The forms runs in explorer but pdf file not shown, nor I see the navigation bar.
Tried my level best but no success.
Please guide me what mistake I am doing.
Looking forward for your kind co-operation

I understand, often people post in old threads not realising that they are old.
I think that it is difficult to understand how to helpp you without more details of what you did (ie which files you changed and how), and what debugging you have then performed to check which parts of the solution are working.

MS Word smart quotes don't paste the same into Forms 10g as Forms 6i

Hi all,
I have users who write text in Microsoft Word and then cut-and-paste it into Oracle Forms.
After some prodding by the developers, the users have switched to using the 10G version of their application instead of the 6i version.
As a background you should know that Microsoft Word uses Smart Quotes by default, which you can turn off. Smart Quotes are different ascii characters than the ascii 39 single quote and ascii 34 double quote.
When the users cut-and-paste the Microsoft Word text into the Forms 10G field, the single apostrophe smart quote does not convert to ascii 39. I wouldn't be surprised about this except that in Forms 6i the form does convert the single apostrophe smart quote into ascii 39.
So if the users use the 6i Form they can cut-and-paste and the form/database has the character as ascii 39. If the users paste into Forms 10G then the database shows the character as ascii 191 (hex 0xBF), which is an inverted question mark.
Does anyone know of any settings in Forms 10g to revert back to 6i functionality for this?
Thanks much,
Troy

I am afraid that Jan is right.
And this might be a bit of a hassle, since it might affect your forms. If you are using some standard Windows lettertype in your forms, though, you should be OK.
Bare in mind, that you the NLS_LANG.characterset will have to be compatible between database and forms (the latter at both compiletime and runtime).
Good Luck!
