Hi,
Thanx for the reply, However system.form_status will only give
in which mode the form is currently running.i.e query, changed,
new.
I would like to rephrase my query as
When we call a form we can call in either 'QUERY_ONLY' mode
or 'NO_QUERY_MODE'. Now in the called form I want to know
programatically in which mode it is called. And we cannot use
the system variable FORM_STATUS as it is not related with the
status.
Thanx in advance.

How to know that a form is running in query-only mode

I have a form that can run in query-only mode or non-query-only mode depending on the current user who logs in, and I want to change its apprearance dynamically when it's in different modes (for example, enable or disable buttons). Is there a built-in or system variable from which I know that the form is running in query-only mode or not?
Thanks,
Shu

The global variable solution is what we are using now. I thought there are some unpublished built-in or system variables. In my application, there is a public "menu" form from where hundreds of forms are CALLed with some in query-only mode and some in non-query-only mode depending on the current user role. :PARAMETER.QUERY_ONLY will always be 'NO' because the "menu" form is started in non-query-only mode. But it's good to know about it.
Thank you very much for your replies,
Shu

Thank for your reply Bernd
I need to achieve the same functionaliy in 6i, the scenario is like this,
i have a madatory item and i will set the runtime compatibility mode 4.5 then at runtime i can able to leave the filed empty if i press the SHIFT+TAB key, if i press tab or enter key alone the error message should be displayed "Field must be entered" , this is functionality is working fine in 6i forms if you set the Runtime Compatibility Mode is 4.5.
but this is not heppening in 10g forms, because we have the same source in 6i whenever there is a need we will compile it with 10g template and give to the customer, now its not working so its creating big trouble.
i have seen something in meta link but that is not feesible. pls do the need ful

Can you programatically detect that a form has been called by another form?

Can you programatically detect that a form has been called by another form using Open_Form?
When closing a form I want to do one thing if it was opened stand-alone and another thing if it was called using Open_Form by another form.
Thanks in advance.

Maybe, Tony, also
GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY built-in ; it can
be used to retrieve information about the calling (parent) and called
form (child).
The following example describes a way to perform a query on the child form
using a value from the parent form; if the form is a child form, it first
executes a query, otherwise the form goes into insert mode automatically.
          WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE
          ======================
          BEGIN
               :GLOBAL.APP_NAME := GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(CALLING_FORM);
               IF :GLOBAL.APP_NAME IS NOT NULL THEN
                    EXECUTE_QUERY;
               END IF;

How to display LOV on web in ENTER-QUERY mode with form or block query only.

Hello all
How can I display lov automatic on the web in from enter-query
mode in form or block query only mode.
thankx

If I understand correctly your explanation, your called form
fails to activate the LOV in enter-query mode when it is deployed
and test on the browser.
So lets proceeed like this, to make it work in all environments,
let us programetically activate the LOV.
HOW?
In the called form, write in the WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE TRIGGER
at block level (if have more than one LOV)
IF :SYSTEM.MODE = 'ENTER-QUERY' THEN
IF get_item_property(:system.cursor_item,lov_name) IN ('YOUR
LOV1', 'LOV2' etc) THEN
IF SHOW_LOV(get_item_property(:system.cursor_item,lov_name))
THEN
NULL;
END IF;
END IF;
END IF;
The above code maybe tweak to suite your need and condition.
This way, we explicitly make the LOV appear in ENTER-QUERY mode
whenever the user clicks on an item with an attached LOV.
Hope this helps.

Programatically knowing Calculation mode of Item

Hello!
Is it possible in Oracle Forms 10.1.2.0.2 to get values of the "Calculation Mode", "Summarized Item" etc properties?
Thank you

I'm sorry, I'll try to explain
I have PL/SQL Library with
procedure Show_Item(in_blockItem_tx varchar2) is
it_id Item;
begin
it_id := Find_Item(in_blockItem_tx);
code;
Set_Item_Property(it_id, VISIBLE, PROPERTY_TRUE);
Set_Item_Property(it_id, INSERT_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_TRUE);
Set_Item_Property(it_id, UPDATE_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_TRUE);
code;
end;
if in_blockItem_tx is Calculated field I get the error...
right now I hardcoded filed names
if in_blockItem_tx not in ('FORECONCILEBP.INIT_CBR_TOTAL', '***') then
Set_Item_Property(it_id, INSERT_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_TRUE);
Set_Item_Property(it_id, UPDATE_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_TRUE);
end if;
Is it possible to understand (runtime) if "Calculation Mode" property is set to 'Summary' or 'Formula'?
Thank you

Thanks, Rajeev

"Non-Updateable" value.and then will have to compile

to forms.
You need to read the Form 6i documentation if you are new to Forms and post to the correct forum. However, I will give you a hint on what to do
When you want to run run Oracle Forms againt a Non-Oracle Database, you use Key Mode to specify how Forms uniquely identify rows in the Non-Oracle database.
Key Mode is a Block Property in a Form. So you find in under Database Section when you open the Properties Palette (or Property Sheet) for that Block.

Expert query mode in forms

Hi all,
Is there any way, that I can enable 'expert query mode' in oracle forms? Frankly, I don't know what does that mean. I got a call from our vendor finance consultant who does training about an application, that uses oracle forms. He says that other customers, that use the same application are able to enable 'expert query mode' and this feature is stored somewhere in oracle forms and not in the application.
I wonder, if somebody could give a hint, how to enable it, as they are struggling to retrieve the data in a sorted mode..
Thanks beforehand,
Maria

Unfortunately, I don't know much about this...
We are implementing Banner ERP system from SunGuard. He says that usually, he is able to use expert query within the Banner which is build on Oracle Application Form. They use Banner interface to navigate through the forms. I was told that it doesn't work in our case and wonders if I can enable it somewhere outside the Banner...
I am sorry for the confused description, but that's all that I know.. Just thought that probably somebody knows something about it.
Thanks for help anyway,
M.

How do I know if a form has been successfully validated?

I have a form with a bunch of text fields. When users submit() the form, I display the updated form in "Read-Only" mode, by setting up textField.setReadOnly(true). However, I don't want the form to go Read-Only if the validation was not successfull. Is there a way to figure out of the validation was successful or not? (something like this.form1.isValid(), etc.)
Thanks

I agree that putting afterUpdateModelValues will do the trick, but I do not agree that it is necessary to do so.
With the JSF lifecycle, the action method is not called if there are conversion or validation errors.
Here is a very simple example that illustrates this. Create a page (make it the start page)
Add textField1, button1, and messageGroup1.
Set required to true (check the box) for textField1.
Double-click the button and change the action method as follows:
    public String button1_action() {
        error("action method called");
        return null;
    }Run the program. Don't put anything in the text field and click the button. You will not see the message "action method called". Now put something in the text field and click the button. Now you see the message.
So, how are you validating the fields? (1) Are you using validators from the palette, as shown in http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/learning/tutorials/2/validators_converters.html? (2) Or are you writing your own custom validators, as shown in http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/learning/tutorials/2/customvalidator.html.
If (2), are you throwing ValidatorExceptions?

Developering ADF form in query mode (Oracle forms simulation)

Hi,
we have a requirement for developing the existing Oracle form using Oracle ADF. The existing Oracle form displays the form in query mode by default. We can enter the search criteria in any of the text fields and then execute query to get the results. If the user does not enter any search criteria, then the form loads specific record based on default criteria into the form. Could you please help developing similar form using ADF.
At present I created the view object with one bind variable and dragged the view as ADF form to the jspx page. Then I am launching the form in query mode (executing the find method on the view object using operation binding at the time of loading the page). After entering the query criteria in the form, If I click on a button I am executing a method in the managed bean. In the managed bean I am executing the "Execute" operation on the view and it is working fine.
But my problem is if the user does not enter the search criteria I have to pass default parameters to the view object and return the default record in the form.
Can you please help in resolving the issue.
Thanks and Regards,
S R Prasad

Hi Frank,
Thank you for providing information. I created the query panel with the table by dragging all the named criteria. But this is not the look we are expecting for this form. As we have to deveop ADF form with the same behavior as oracle forms, the user must be in a position to edit the data in the same field as that of query field.
As an example, we have to design a form for Dept table. We have to display all the columns of the dept view in the form at the time of launching the form in query mode. Once the user enters any search criteria in the form, we have to perform search and display the record(s) matching the query criteria in the same columns displayed in the form. User should not see any changes in the form layout.
If the user does not enter any data in the form, then we have to display the record(s) in the form with the specific department id(This department id can be calculated based on the data in another table).
Can you please help us in resolving the issue.
Thanks and Regards,
S R Prasad
