Background canvas's colour in Forms Builder

In dev 10g, exists a environment variable(registry), where is it possible to set canvas color?
I'll try to explain better:
When you use Layout Wizard: Canvas Page on which you whis lay out your datablock's item,
background is gray for default, I wish set other colour when I create(Builder), not in runtime.
I didn't success to found any info!
Thanks in adavance

background is gray for default
when u open Form builder the default canvas colour is gray as you said earlier
but when u try to open an existing form, Form builders display the actual colour of the canvas set in properties of canvas!
Lets suppose i have a form whos background colour later modufied by me and i set it to Cyan as per ma requirement.
[as per your scenario]
Now if i reopen the form, Form builder applied the default colour so a developer getting confused what the actual colour a canvas had?

  • Oracle Forms Builder 10.1.2.3 hangs when opening canvas

    Hi
    I created a form with 1 master, 2 details and a tab panel. Now I can't open the canvas. Each time I try to open it Oracle Form Builder hangs. What can I do?

    I've installed Oracle Developer Suite (ODS) 10g R2 on numerous Windows 7 systems and have only encountered an issue with Forms Builder crashing a couple of times. Each time, I've been able to resolve the problem by modifying the OS PATH environment variable to ensure there is not a conflict between Oracle versions. If you only have ODS 10g installed, this should not be a problem, but if you have different versions of Forms installed - this could very well be the problem. My you might want to take a look at the OS PATH and make sure all Windows related directories are listed first. Then list the ODS directories second and lastly, list everything else. Oracle has a bad habit of putting it's program directories before the operating system directories.
    It is also possible that your installation media is bad since your install is crashing in Windows XP mode as well. That being the case, you may want to download the installer again.

  • Re: background colour in Forms

    Hi,
    Can anyone let me know that How to set background as white colour for Bitmap images in sapscripts/smartforms?Actually,I am getting grey as background as defualt for my Bitmap images.

    Hi,
    From the True Color graphics only 24 bit True Colors graphics are
    supported by SAP.
    I suppose that your graphic is a True Color graphic, can you
    please check this? During the upload the SAP converts the graphic
    to a graphic with 256 colors. Here color information can be lost.
    Can you please convert the graphic to 256 colors with a graphic
    program, before you upload it? After this no color conversions happen
    in the SAP any more, so you should get much better results.

  • Forms Builder - form not pulling the data from the DB into the datablock

    I'm working on a school project, and I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or if something is wrong with my setup.
    I created a basic form, 3 fields, and ID, firstname and lastname
    the wizard connected fine, pulled the three fields into forms builder
    I setup a canvas - type content with the a form format layout of the three fields.
    saved the form.
    When I run the form and it's displayed, nothing gets pulled into the fields (all blank).
    Shouldn't it pull at least the first row from the table?
    it says it's on record 1/1
    XP, Oracle 10g, Form builder 10.1.2,
    I'm not getting any errors
    I want to get this basic form working first, before I start adding to it, and it doesn't seem to want to cooperate.
    I've done the same steps as in the tutorials....

    I did find that, if I put data in the ID, first and lastname on the form, and click Execute & Save on the Menu, it does add it to the database.
    Maybe what I'm missing, is how do I get the form to read from the database when it starts up?

    Hi Lorcan.
    So what exactly happens when you try to start XML Forms builder, do you get an actual error or does it just not start at all?
    > Actually the News are not getting displayed . The HTML (Html tages)are not getting rendered properly in XML Form Builder.
       This news are perfectly working in other environment  (Dev/Qlty) but not in Production .. where i am facing the issue of rendering the news ( not in correct format as expected)
    It is appearing as link. where as in my other environment the Text in proper HTML format.
    (Link of News appearing in production) whereas in Dev/Qlty proper text with Heading/Font/Colour appears. Or are you only seeing errors when you run the environment check?
    > I am getting the errors when running the environment check on in Production but not in Development/Quality.
    Did you try it on different clients or with different users? Is this a new installation or have you recently upgraded? Are all your components on the same SP level?
    > This is new installation but SP level are exactly same across the system(Dev/Qlty/Prod).
    Also the check the settings and found proper..
    Root Directory * /usr/sap/<System-ID>/SYS/global/config/cm/etc*
    Please let me know am I missing something..

  • Identify forms in Oracle forms Builder

    Hi every one,
    I am very very new to Oracle forms and Oracle Builder, how can we find the complexity of a form and also a report, I have the access to the Oracle forms builder and Oracle report builder, Can any one help me how to move further and, how to identify. It would be really great thing, If any one helps me As soon as possible.
    waiting for your suggestions.
    Thanks,
    raki

    Is see you double posted this thread, and the other one is also a bit vague.
    It is not such a straightforward task to specify complexity. You have to have a good working knowledge of the system. I can give you example about one of our forms. It looks really simple: type in some identifier, and it will show you all open invoices of a customer, Press a button for full or partly payment of the invoices and receipts will be printed.
    This involves many things in the background, like checking the financial system. It looks simple (one when-button-pressed trigger), but is very complex indeed.
    If you want to migrate from Forms to Apex, you should properly plan it. If you have no experience at all in your company for such a project, you might want to contact a specialized company.

  • Login Screen in Oracle forms builder 6i

    Hello everyone
    I am trying to create a canvas with a login screen and password in oracle forms builder 6i.

    PASSWORD VARCHAR2(20) NOT NULL);
    Inserted the following values:
    INSERT INTO PASSWORD (USER_ID,PASSWORD)
    VALUES (1,1010);
    INSERT INTO PASSWORD (USER_ID,PASSWORD)
    VALUES (2,2020);
    Created a MENU canvas with a LOGIN button TI_USER_ID and TI_PASSWORD text boxes.
    In the LOGIN button i have inserted the following WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger:
    BEGIN
    SELECT USER_ID
    INTO :GLOBAL.USER_ID
    FROM PASSWORD
    WHERE USER_ID = :LOGIN.TI_USER_ID
    AND PASSWORD= :LOGIN.TI_PASSWORD;
    GO_BLOCK('PASSWORD');

    END IF;
    END;
    When i try to compile that it gives an error Bad bind variable LOGIN.TI_USER_ID
    Bad bind variable LOGIN.TI_PASSWORD
    What am i doing wrong?

    i tried to reffer to several items in several blocksi suspect that when you removed the exception it ends up with the no data found error. you need not to remove the exception clause try to bring that back. then try in SQL*Plus to see if your query returns any rows with the same data that you are attempting to use in your TI_USER_ID and TI_PASSWORD block item. if it does not return that is the cause of your issue it will not execute the GO_ITEM() command it will simply go to the exception clause.

  • Problems running Forms in Forms Builder 6.0.8.21.3

    I have upgraded some Forms from 4.5 to 6i. I compile and run the forms in Forms Builder 6.0.8.21.3. However I have a problem when running a specific form. When I run the form directly from Forms Builder the problem do not appear.
    But when I call the same form in Oracle Forms Runtime by calling the forms from the menu, the row with push buttons that I have defined do not appear.
    I have faced a similar problem earlier and then I solve the problem changing the order of the Data Blocks in the Object Navigator. I have tried this, but so far it does not work. Do the order of the Data Blocks affect how the Forms will be displayed? What about the order of the Canvases? I hope someone can help me with this challenge.
    I run win 2000 and do not get any runtime error messages.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Roar

    Roar,
    the order of blocks does only influence the navigation but not the visibility. However, if the button bar is on a canvas that doesn't show if the focus isn't in it then having teh button block on top makes sure the focus is set there. Are the push bottons on a separate canvas or are they on the same canvas as your data ? If not, then how do you ensure that the stacked canvas gets displayed ? Anyway, running the Form from teh builder uses teh same client/server runtime that is used when running your application stand alone. So it must be something within teh navigation (I am guessing).

  • WUC-015 in Forms Builder Run Form

    When running a form via Forms Builder, I receive WUC-015. When running the same form via the "Run a form on the web" (runform.htm), it works fine. What did I configure wrong?

    I am running Developer Suite 10g. I have the OC4J instance running. I have a simple form with three buttons that do "webutil_host.host", "webutil_file_transfer.Client_To_AS", and "host". When I "Run a Form on the Web", I am prompted to accept the certificate and the beans load and the form works as anticipated. When I run the form from Forms Builder, I get no certificate and the beans do not load; producing a blank Webutil canvas (yes I know, it is not supposed to be the first navigable block, but while learning I wanted to see it), and the "...form must contain the following bean..." error.
    I have "compiled PLSQL -> All". I am passing "&config=webutil" with my Application Server URL in my Runtime preferences.

  • Oracle form builder 10g is not opening any form ,on Vista

    I have installed DevSuite 10g and its update in my Vista machine. Everything is working fine ,but when I try to open any form in form designer(form builder) the form builder crashes and it gives me error saying-
    "Oracle form designer has stopped working
    A problem caused the priogram to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
    It does not get any problem if I try to open any other file. But it crashes when try to open any fmb file. Please help how can we resolve this issue.

    Please try this and report back:
    In your Vista platform, create a simple form. No canvas required, just two procedures:
    PROCEDURE P2 IS
    BEGIN
    NULL;
    END;
    and
    PROCEDURE P1 IS
    BEGIN
    P2;
    END;
    First, create procedure P2 and compile it.
    Then create procedure P1 and compile it.
    Go back to P2, and remove the semicolon after the NULL. If you try to compile it, it will fail.
    Go to procedure P1 and try compiling it.
    Does Forms Builder crash at this point?

  • Forms builder layout questions

    Hi guys
    I have three questions on forms builder:
    1. Is there a way to evenly space records? I see all the allign features but not arrange evenly. It really takes a lot of time to space 10 fields evenly vertically
    2. Is it possible to have a fram with an auto tabular layout that is vertical instead of horizontal? What's the use of being able to adjust the block but the form is always vertical when you use tabular format?
    3. Is there a way to have the layout autogenerate again? I can see it works when I move a frame in a simple canvas, but I use the same datablock across multiple tabs. If I assign the block in the frame, then it will autoload all items into my single tab.
    Thanks for any assistence.
    I guess what I'm suferring with is the 'old school' forms developer. I'm on 6i. Is there any better layout features in later releases? Maybe any other tools to generate a form? (I'm pushing my luck now :-) )
    Regards

    Hi Andreas
    Ok I found the menu now: Arrange-> Allign objects. And then there's DISTRIBUTE for both vertical and horizontal.
    Ok, that will save me a lot of effort :-) Thanks!
    Question 2:
    - I have my Data Block's Record Orientation set to Horizontal. But the Frame completely ignores it. The Frame's Layout style is Tabular. So when I UPDATE LAYOUT to auto-layout my page there is no different if I toggle the Record orientation between horizontal and vertical.
    Question 3: Ok, it seems like UPDATE LAYOUT will autogenerate the layout only if you have the frame linked to a datablock. My problem is this: I have 3 tabs (too many fields for a singe tab). I'm still deciding which fields should go to wich tab. Every time I add an item to a new tab, I have to manually position it within that tab. I cannot make they program quickly auto-layout the tab with the additional item.
    Missing features:
    I'm missing a few hotkeys. Don't like using the mouse so much :-)

  • Failure FRM-32029 while compiling Form with Forms Builder

    Hi.
    I have problem. I compile a form with Forms Builder from DevSuiteHome and get the failure:
    "FRM-32029 Window WINDOW not found; canvas-section CG$LOVCAN" (I translate it, it´s not the original terms).
    I google and search the forum and oracle page, but found nothing about this failure. In Forms-Builder itself is also nothing recorded about this problem.
    Do someone know more about this error?
    Thanks.

    Thanks inolau for answering.
    The problem is, that I don´t have a documentation about the sourcecode and these forms worked under from 6i to 9i upgraded Oracle AS and DB servers. So the problem is not only "where is the WINDOW", than more "why doesn´t works it under a new 10g version and how get it working?".
    That´s why I was searching for this not recorded error.
    And I´m worry about that searching for the part of the sourcecode where I found the "WINDOW" is like looking for a needle in a haystack. ;)

  • GUI Form Builder (Netbeans)

    Hello!
    I use the form builder to create and position 100 buttons.
    To address these "builder formed" buttons in other code, I created an array .......
    ArrayList<JButton> buttons = new ArrayList<JButton>();
    The "Form Built" buttons are added to my array named "buttons" by adding this code snip in the "post creation" entry option within the Form Builder's code generation section like this ....
    buttons.add(jButton1);
    buttons.add(jButton2);
    buttons.add(jButton3); //.....etc.
    This all works fine, now I can address each of the 100 buttons (ie: change the background color) like this.....
    JButton button = AddRFSwitchMain.buttons.get(but);
    button.setBackground(new Color(a,b,c));
    In reference to adding my "Form Built" buttons to my array, is there a way to add these buttons recursively? ie:
    buttons.add(jButton(X)); // X = 1 to 100

    This is how I add the "builder generated" buttons into my array now....
            buttons.add(jButton1);
            buttons.add(jButton2);
            buttons.add(jButton3);
            buttons.add(jButton4);
            buttons.add(jButton5);
            buttons.add(jButton6);
            buttons.add(jButton7);
            buttons.add(jButton8);
            buttons.add(jButton9);
            buttons.add(jButton10);
            buttons.add(jButton11);
            etc.....
            buttons.add(all the way out to button 100);
            Can the same thing be done recursivily like this: 
            for ( int but=0; but<101; but++ ) {   
            buttons.add(jButton(but));

  • Running first Form from Form Builder 10g

    Hi. I've upgraded my first 6i form to 10g. In Form Builder 10g (for Windows) I execute the form and it opens it in my Internet Explorer (IE) window instead of the traditional Oracle Run-time window.
    This is fine, except IE has a large header area that includes items like the Internet Address Field, the Search Field, the Back and Forward buttons, various icon buttons for printing, finding, the Tabbed Windows, the home button, etc.... With all this additional space taken up in the browser I don't have as much room for my canvas to display.
    Does this mean I have to adjust the canvas size for all my existing forms to fit this smaller IE area or can I somehow free up more space in the IE window by hidding all these default IE items?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

    Add these to your WHEN-NEW-FORM_INSTANCE trigger:
    -- browser (main) window
    set_window_property(forms_mdi_window, window_state, maximize);
    --inner window
    set_window_property('YOUR_WINDOW', window_state, maximize);
