Tooltips and When-Mouse-Enter trigger

Are there any plans in Dev6 or beyond to allow a dynamic change
to the item property TOOLTIP_TEXT from the item's When-Mouse-
Enter trigger or a program unit called from this trigger? Let's
say the tooltip text value changes when the value of the item
changes. Trying to handle this scenario thru other triggers is
rather inefficient and can be time-consuming to make sure all
cases are handled. Is this going to be addressed at some point,
or should we just hang our heads and say "Oh well, that would
have been nice..."

Steve - Why are you bothering to code tooltips when automatic ones are available as item properties ?These forms were first created in Forms 4.5 -- I don't think tooltips existed there. But tooltips still wouldn't work -- in a multirecord block with the code values being unique for several different records, we want the unique description for each unique value.
And when there are several dozen values all over the screen, it would be necessary to lookup and store the description for every value, even though the users would seldom access them. So lookup ONLY on demand is more efficient.
It is a standard process with everything possible stored in a PLL, so the WME lookup works great. And tailoring it for the web with when-mouse-click was not tough to add on.

  • When-mouse-enter in 10g

    I have got Forms 10g installed and tried to use WHEN-MOUSE-ENTER, it didn't work. I looked up the online help and got a breakdown on usage. Couldn't see what i was doing wrong, googled found out WME does not work in 9i. My question does it work in 10g and if it doesn't why the hell don't oracle update their Online help docs which are installed with the product.

    That's all well and good, Suresh.  Now please look up the on-line documentation in the latest release of Forms Builder 10g.

  • When-mouse-enter forms 10g

    Hi, everybody.
    I have a problem with forms 10g (web) in any sub-version. The problem is that the events when-mouse (enter, leave, ...) does not seem to get fired.
    Is there anything I can do to solve the problem (a parameter to be set, anything to do in the form).
    Any help will be appreciated,
    Thank you.

    -> Why it is still documented? Will we get back a client server forms?
    I wish! But I am sure it is hopeless. They probably need to leave the when-mouse-enter documentation for backward compatibility -- old forms compiled and running in the Web Forms environment. The traffic would be horrendous. I have WME and WML triggers running, and on some forms, rolling the mouse across the canvas causes a lot of flickering -- item prompts flicker. And then there is the mouse-x,y-pos and when-mouse-move. Those are supported in 6i Client/Server, too. I used it to create a drag and drop functionality. Man, does THAT cause some massive trigger firing!!! Trust me, it would NOT work in a web environment.
    And yes, "Hai" is apparently something like an abbreviation for Hello -- a little more formal and polite than Hi. Its use still puzzles me, but apparently that is the reasoning of those who use it.        ?:|

  • When-mouse-click trigger is not working

    Hi,
    My forms version is 10g.
    I've a black level and item level when-mouse-click trigger.
    There is some code inside that which is not being executed.
    To test, i simply printed a hello message inside the trigger's code.
    Even hello is not being displayed.
    Can anyone please help me in why this trigger is not working.
    Navnit

    You have some other issues going on if you don't see anything from a when-mouse-click trigger.
    First of all, are you spelling the trigger using a dash or underscore? WHEN-MOUSE-CLICK will run, but WHEN_MOUSE_CLICK will not.
    Have you set :SYSTEM.Message_Level to some value above zero in the form? If so, set it back to zero.
    On what object are you trying to click? Is this causing navigation? Navigation may cause validation to run, which may fail, which may prevent the navigation, which may prevent your when-mouse-click from running.
    And last, are you sure you are running the currently compiled fmx version of your form?
    When nothing works, you need to back up and start finding out what DOES work first.

  • Passing parameter through when mouse click trigger

    I have a detail block.This block fetching multiple records.My query is how can i pass parameter though WMC trigger.
    My details block displaying data from 4 tables.
    When i click on any field all the data on that row must be my parameters.

    In first form in when mouse click trigger:
    SELECT xyz
    INTO :GLOBAL.xyz,
    FROM abc
    WHERE v.po_no = :SYSTEM.MOUSE_ITEM
    AND IMT21_SIT.C_SIT_NO = IMT22_RECT_HD.C_SIT_NO;
    EXCEPTION WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
         MESSAGE('PLEASE CLICK ON PO NO');
    logout;
    logon('abc','[email protected]');
    open_form ('C:\CUSTOMER_SERVICES\SUPL_FAS');
    in second form in when new form instance trigger:
    block_name.field_name := :GLOBAL.xyz;
    it show error..........

  • When mouse Entered, get block/name.

    I need to create some java code that, on, when-mouse-entered, and when-mouse-exited, the java code will pass the item's block name and item name back to the form.
    Ideally I would like to create generic code to use with any item. i.e. I don't want to 'hard-code' block and item name's into the java code.
    Example:
    -in forms, create a text item (:BLOCK1.ITEM12)
    -set item's implementation class to RecognizeMouseEnteredExited
    -When mouse entered/exited, pass items block/name of item to Oracle forms.
    Assumptions:
    I am assuming I need to tap into Oracle Forms IView interface to extract the item id and name, but as much assistance with the actual code would be GREAT!
    Thanks

    You can get it with :system.record_number. To determine the position in the multi-record block use get_block_property('block', top_record)

    The message says: "The payment method has been denied, try another method"
    I'm living in the same country and city since I was born, so I don't think the location is the problem.

  • The list of extensions for InDesign now have a yellow triangle warning symbol in front of a good many of the extensions and when moused over i get one of two messages:  "Extensions may not function properly because it does not meet the dependency conditio

    The list of extensions for InDesign now have a yellow triangle warning symbol in front of a good many of the extensions and when moused over i get one of two messages:
    "Extensions may not function properly because it does not meet the dependency condition."
    OR
    Extension Status is not consistent with extension set configuration."
    The reason I opened the Extension Manager in the first place was to check to see if I had installed a third party extension.  And I was presented with these warning symbols.  I haven't added anything, I haven't done anything that would cause this.
    Does anyone know how to fix this???
    I am running OSX 10.9.5; Indesign CS6 version 8.0.2 And Adobe Extension Manager version  6.0.8.28.
    Thanks in advance!
    Nina

    Many InDesign pre-installed extensions (Those extensions you have immediately after InDesign installation) define dependency rules in their mxi files. Dependency means that one extension works well only if one or more other extensions are installed and enabled. If this condition is not met, the yellow triangle warning will be shown.
    You can select an extension with warning, click "Advanced" tag page in the lower right panel. You will see "This extension has dependency on: <extension name> ...". Check whether every extensions listed here are available and enabled. If not, enable them. Repeat these steps for all the extensions which have warning.

  • HT201209 I bought a gift card from japan and when i enter the code it says the code must be redeemed in the japanese storefront

    I bought a gift card from japan and when i enter the code it says the code must be redeemed in the japanese storefront

    If your iTunes Store account is for another country, you can't redeem a card from another country even if you are currently present in that country. You would need to either move your existing account to the Netherlands or set up a new account in the Dutch iTunes Store, either of which would require you to also have a valid Dutch mailing address. Unless you're going to be in the Netherlands for quite a while, I would suggest you just give or sell that iTunes card to someone who lives in the Netherlands.
    Regards.

    I am trying to update my apps but it is asking for my card details and when i enter them it says my card was declined but i havent bought anything, can i see what the purchase is for?

    Again,  Apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased and will always have to be updated using that account.
    Always, mean exactly that, always.
    If you want them to be on your account then you need to buy them using your account.
