[b][Solved][/b]Setting Text item property in pl/sql editor

Question

Hello, I'm using Oracle 9i both as Ids and database
This is what I'm having-
2 data blocks 1st is database block and 2nd is control block.
database block named EMP is associated with EMP table and Control block named CTRLB have 2 item 1st is a text item and 2nd is a Push button.
This is what i wanted-
At first i wish to show the CTRLB items when user provide an input in "Text item" say a number and press the button the Values from "Text Item " is placed in Emp blocks Department_id item and a query is executed (act as where filter) and return only the employees records within that Department_id
This is what i done so far-
i write a trigger" when button press" on push button item and entered the following code
NEXT_BLOCK;
ENTER_QUERY;
:EMP.DEPART_ID:=:CTRLB.PBT;
EXECUTE_QUERY;
but it donot make any query.
but when i use the execute query from the menu(the built in provided by oracle in applet) it works. i mean there is no problem in database connection or mapping. only the button is not working.
So what i'm doing wrong or 'What i should do now to have it worked
thank you

Hello,
You could use the DEFAULT_WHERE clause of the based block, so that you just have to execute the query:
Set_Block_Property( 'EMP', DEFAULT_WHERE, 'DEPART_ID = :CTRLB.PBT' ) ;
Go_Block('EMP');
Execute_Query ;Francois
