Stacked canvas

Hi
I have a screen where part of the block is in a 'fixed' content canvas and part is in a stacked canvas which is scrollable. Initially, both canvases are displayed and I can scroll backwards and forwards in the stacked canvas. However, when I select one of the fields that is outside the stacked canvas the stacked canvas disappears. Is there anyway of pinning the stacked canvas so that it is visible all the time.
Thanks

Hi
What i understand when your naviagation is on contact canvas item then stack canvas disappear.
it is so simple just click on the border of stack canvas and drag the stack canvas away from the items of contant canvas. it may possible your stack canvas is over the any item of contant canvas

Well, I intially navigate into my content canvas. At this stage the stacked canvas is not visible, then how should I navigate to an item on the stacked canvas to make it visible?

How to remove the black line from a stacked canvas at run time???

Hi All,
I've developed a stacked canvas within a content canvas, when I run the form the stacked canvas apeared with a black line takes it.
How to remove this line or how to disappear this line at run time??
I tried to do this by putting (no line) in tools palette to the line color tool after selecting the black line one and after selecting the stacked canvas another once, but this did not resolve the problem!
I need something else:
I put the stacked canvas at detail data block and it didn't appear since I execute query in master data block
How to appear the stacked canvas directly before executing query in master data block???

Hi,
u mean the border line? In stacked canvas property, select contour/outline and set it to none.
Make sure, the stacked canvas is behind the content canvas in the objectnavigator. Then check your
properties of the stacked canvas:
- Position on content canvas
- size
- size of clipping
Set stacked canvas property automatic visible to yes.
Make sure the stacked canvas is not overlayed by other stacked canvas or items.

when user open it page1 (content canvas) & page2 (1st stack canvas) should show .For a specific value in PROFILE CODE (say JAPAN) profile code (page1+page3) should open.& for all other profile codes (page 1+page2) should remain,irrespective of whatever value in NAME.
Please tell me how can I do this??
1. Please help me with a sample code & also where (in which trigger) I should write the condition.
2. What all changes are required in property palette?
3. will both the canvas will be on the same window?
2nd issue:-
I have tried
In the Object Navigator, under the Canvases node, double-click the content canvas' object icon. In the Layout Editor, choose View | Stacked Views.

If I put it like this In WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger check the PROFILE CODE and display the stacked canvas based on the value in PROFILE CODE---
Then content canvas will be shown first(Page1) ,then user will select profile code, depending upon the profile code selected ,either page2 (stacked canvas) or page3(stacked canvas) will be shown.
But I want whenever user opening the form ,page1 & page2 should show by default.then user will select profile code.if profile code is for page2 ,it should stay in that (default) page only.If profile code is for page3 then it will automatically go to page3 along with page1.

Stacked Canvas Problem in oracle 6i form builder

Hello,
i have 2 content canvas "DTL and PUNCH",1 tab,1 horizontal canvas in window1 and 1 another content canvas "parameter" in window2.
i have created a stacked canvas under dtl canvas because
I have a master-details form. my details has more columns so im planing to use stack canvas.
but at run time it is not displaying?
please help me regarding that?
Thanks
With Regards
Vishal Agrawal

hello,
then you should set viewport x and y position of stack canvas below the height of button in DTL block.
means If button y position = 170 then
viewport position of x = 5,
viewport position of Y = (y position of button + height of button+5) . (for Stack canvas)
Same way,
If stack canvas height = 270 then
viewport position of x = 5,
viewport position of Y = (viewport position of Y of stack canvas + height of stack canvas+5) . (for Tab canvas)
PS

Stacked canvas behaviour 6i c/s

hi,
My form has two canvases.
1. content in own window
2. stacked content in own window( which is only 5 cm by 5cm wide and does not cover content when called.
COntent canvas and window are maximised in when-new-form-ins trig.
The problem i am getting is when I call stacked can in its own window from content can via button my content canv
resizes itself enough so that scroll bars appear.
So that when i exit stacked can i have to maximise the content to such a state as when I first run the form.( all coded in when-new-form-ins) i.e dbl click on win title bar.
Does anyone know if this is default functionality or is there something I need to set ?
thanks.

hi tony
sorry for not making it very clear...
So you want to Press a button, go to a stacked canvas, pause and accept input on that canvas, then proceed to do some calculations, and all of this on >one button?what you understood up to the bold marked area is correct. after getting the input in stacked canvas the user press a back button there to hide and come out. The calculations are on the content canvas button itself...( which is used to display the stacked canvas)

Stacked canvas view placed on the content canvas

Hi to all,
i am developed a one form ,i.e placed the stacked canvas view on the content convas.
i create a two data block's with same table.
one data block for content canvas and one for stacked canvas.
in the content canvas i taken two fileds with scroll bar and remaining fields placed on the stacked canvas.
these stacked canvas view put on the content canvas.it dispalying and
executed succesfully.
here i am getting one problem i am displying the 10 records at a time in both canvases.my requirment is placed on the
cursor on the content canvas particular record scroll down then automatically show the same record details in stacked canvas and
content canvas scroll bar is changed automatically stacked canvas scroll bar is changed.
any one help me.........

{quotei create a two data block's with same table.
one data block for content canvas and one for stacked canvas.{quote}
This is not necessary. Just create one data block and then assign the block items to your Content and Stacked canvases. You can display items in a data block on different canvases. By doing this, there is no need to write code to synchronize the records because they are part of the same data block so they will automatically scroll as you navigate through your records.

Tab Canvas on a STACKED Canvas?

Is it possible to have a tab canvas ON (IN) a stacked canvas? Or can a tab canvas ONLY be placed on a content canvas?
Thanks!

Hi,
Can you tell the requirement clearly, whether you need to create a tab canvas on stacked canvas, a tab canvas in stacked canvas.
1.Stack Canvas in Tab canvas
First you need to create a tab canvas in the content canvas then you need to create a stack canvas on the content canvas, then you need to align it properly.

Tab Canvas displaying Stacked Canvas at runtime disappears?

Hi,
I have 3 canvases that contain the following:
1) Content Canvas -- This contains the TREE item.
2) Tab Canvas -- A tab canvas with a single Tab Page
3) Stacked Canvas -- This is a Stack Canvas with a few
text items on it.
4) Single Window.
======At runtime the following actions occur: ==========
1) The Viewport of the stacked canvas is set to the
Viewport of the Tab Page on the Tab Canvas so that it
looks like the Tab Page has a vertical and horizontal
scrollbar with text items displayed.
2) A text item on the Stacked Canvas is in focus as soon
the as the form window is displayed.
===================Problem is : =====================
1) When I select a Node of the Tree Item, the Tab Canvas
automatically disappears(or becomes invisible) , as a
result the stacked canvas displayed within it at
runtime also becomes invisible. I am left with only
the Tree item being displayed.
=======================================================
PS : I have never experienced this problem with just the
content canvas and the Tab Canvas together.
Any soultion to this problem is most appreciated.
Thanks
Sharath

I am experiencing the exact same thing. The width of the tabs in the layout editor is varied depending on the length of the text. However, at run-time, the width of the tabs is fixed, causing the tabs to be wider than the window and a set of VCR buttons to appear in the upper right corner of the canvas. Personally, I think this is a Forms bug. Why would they intentionally let us set the width to variable at design-time only to force a fixed width at run-time?

Problem with Stacked Canvas

Hi,
I have prepared a stacked canvas on a content canvas.
Both content and stacked canvas are based on the same data block. In the data block 2 items are on content canvas and the remaining are on stacked canvas. I have also a scroll bar on the content canvas so that we can scroll to the right as there are many items on it.
so 1st and 2nd fields are on the content canvas and remaining ones are on stacked canvas.when i tab out of the 1st field stacked canvas goes invisible, but when i tab out of the 2nd field stacked canvas again comes back.
How can i avoid this?
I want the stacked canvas always to be displayed when i tab out from any where.
One more problem is, when i click on the 2nd field the stacked canvas goes invisible too
Your suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Sandeep

Check if the second item overlaps the area of the stacked canvas. Forms always makes the current item be displayed fully and therefore hides all areas which would overlap the item.

Hi stacked canvas blinking...

Hi
I am using oracle form 6i

Thank u...

I appreciate the overlap issue and mentioned it in my first response, and I expect that changing the size or positon of the item or canvas is the most appropriate solution. Without knowing the full requirements I left an incomplete response, thinking that a dialogue would get the problem fixed. I don't think it's right to suggest navigating to the canvas as the only solution, omitting other possible solutions. My first response could have been better though.
I never suggested that navigation to the canvas is The Only Solution I have always said and in many posts that: "+Beauty of Oracle is that you can reach the same result in 100s and 1000s of ways+" You can have 100s solutions for the same problem.
No one is omitting any other solutions, You mentioned the overlapping issue in your first post asking the OP if that was the case, I merely explained to the OP why that happens, assuming if the OP knew about the overlapping issue, he/she would have solved the problem, and my second post was in response on your comments.
It is not a must to navigate to an item that resides on the stacked canvas, but it's a good way to solve the overlapping issue in this case.

Show stacked canvas when form is opened

Hi,
I'm working with forms 6i. My form has one multi-record block. Due to the amount of fields that need to be shown we split the block across 2 canvases, the first fields are shown in the primary canvas and next to it is something like an overflow, a stacked scrollable canvas.
The form is opened in query mode. In the beginning we only see the items on the primary canvas. Only after the user has executed his query and navigates (with tab) to the first item on the stacked canvas this one is shown. From that moment on the stacked canvas stays visible.
I want to change this behavior as such that the stacked canvas is visible all the time.
I tried to solve this using show_view in the when-new-form-instance trigger but the result is not what it should be. The view is shown but not in the same way as you would see it when you properly navigate to it. The alignment is totally out of control.
Any ideas, suggestions, are mostly appreciated.
Kris

Steve,
To maybe make things a bit more strange then they're already.
GO_ITEM('DEELNEMERS.DROOMPLOEG'); -- Item in stacked canvas
SYNCHRONIZE;
PAUSE;
GO_ITEM('DEELNEMERS.CODE'); -- First item (on primary canvas)It works with above code but not without the pause.
I'm really confused here :-),

BOSSY STACKED CANVAS

I have a simple form with two canvases, one content and one stacked.
When I run the form, the stocked canvas always displays first despite having the property 'display on entry' set to 'no'.
I have only encountered this problem having converted the form from version 4.5 to version 6i! It worked fine in version 4.5!
What am I missing??

Maybe, while opening your form, you're navigating to an item on the stacked canvas as first action (or you have no navigable item on the content)...
Check out what happens using hide_view/show_view built-ins.
