Background image for XML Forms- RenderList Item

Hi Everybody,
We are working with XML Forms for creating News, and in this process the requirement is to set a<b> background image</b> for the form. It's working in Show Form but in <b>RenderListItem</b> it doesn't (as mnetioned by SAP in the documentation).
Is there a work around for acheiving this?.
Helpful answers will be rewarded with points.
Thanks,

I need to set background image in interactive forms. How it is possible ple

Hi,
I need to set background image in interactive forms. How it is possible please explain it step by step.

Gurprit Bhatia

Hey Gurprit,
All you need to do is:
1. drag and drop the Image object from the Library -> Standard tab
2. select the image you want to use
3. position the image on the form where you want
4. right click the image and say "Send to Back"
That should be it!!

How to show a background image in the Forms 6i MDI window?

Hello,
We are using Oracle Forms 6i Release 2 Patch 18 on Windows XP in client/server environment (not web server).
Is there any way to show a background image in the MDI root window without using DLL injection to subclass the MDI root window procedure.
Kurt

Please try this
Public Function Decompress(ByVal arr As Byte()) As Byte()
Dim s As Byte()
Dim notCompressed As Boolean
notCompressed = False
Dim MS As System.IO.MemoryStream
MS = New System.IO.MemoryStream()
MS.Write(arr, 0, arr.Length)
MS.Position = 0
Dim stream As System.IO.Compression.GZipStream
stream = New System.IO.Compression.GZipStream(MS, System.IO.Compression.CompressionMode.Decompress)
Dim temp As System.IO.MemoryStream
temp = New System.IO.MemoryStream()
Dim buffer As Byte() = New Byte(4096) {}
While (True)
Try
Dim read As Integer
read = stream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)
If (read <= 0) Then
Exit While
Else
temp.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)
End If
Catch ex As Exception
notCompressed = True
Exit While
End Try
End While
If (notCompressed = True) Then
stream.Close()
Return temp.ToArray()
Else
Return temp.ToArray()
End If
End Function

Can I put a background image in Form?

Hi all,
I want to put a background image in Form. If my Form has only the background image, i can do it. But, if i put on my Form other items such as StringItem, etc. , i can't put my image as a background image. I think that i must create a custom Form by Canvas class, but i don't like that. Can you help me? Thanks a lot!

Hi there,
You can do so with the J2ME Polish GUI:
http://www.j2mepolish.org
You can use images or even animations in the background, animate and design the items and so on.
All the best,
Robert

Windows form background image refresh.

Hi, I am assigning a different background image to the windows control. The update does not seem to have any effect after the assignment. Even after refresh or form invalidate statement. Any aideas? I am using vb 2010

Hi, I am assigning a different background image to the windows control. The update does not seem to have any effect after the assignment. Even after refresh or form invalidate statement. Any aideas? I am using vb 2010
Which windows control? Is this a WPF project or Windows.Forms project or something else? Unless the image is being drawn then Refresh or Invalidate should not be required.
Windows.Forms PictureBox.
PictureBox1.BackgroundImageLayout = Stretch (or whatever precedes stretch too).
PictureBox1.BackgroundImage = (a bitmap or Image.FromFile("Some path/Some filename.File extension") or something similar).
or
PictureBox1.Image = (like the above but the PictureBox probably needs to be sized to the size of the image first or not).
As
tommytwotrain says you're making us guess and wasting our time because you don't provide enough information on what your code is doing. Even if you describe it that doesn't mean the code is written correctly.

I've searched the web and this forum for hours and can't get the various bits of code tips (ajax, jquery) to work because I'm a totaly idiot when it comes to code...i've tried cutting and pasting in many different configurations but can't get anything to work properly.
Can someone help me out to get this to work?
I have this slideshow:

can anyone help me get a leg up on this? Sorry to be such a noob. This is not my trade and i have more respect for you all now than ever before! sorry again,

You might want to reconsider the use of absolutely positioned div's for layout purposes...
it often leads to big difficulties.http://www.apptools.com/examples/pagelayout101.php
Regarding your loading gif, try defining a container for the picture
and position your loading gif as a centered non-repeating background for container
and insert your image in the container.

Firefox 4.0: Improper handling of Animated Gif background-image

FF 4.0 is giving erratic and incorrect displays of an animated gif on a project I am working on. I have prepared a very small sample that demonstrates the problem.
The problem occurs when an animated gif is used as the background-image for a div (it may also be true when used as a background-image for the body, but I have not tested that).
When a page is first loaded, the animated gif displays properly.
I would expect that the animation be displayed as animated either:
# On each page load
# On a page load with new session or when the image is removed from cache prior to loading the page. Otherwise the last frame of the image would show
The sample page is designed to test this.
IE: Behaved as in #1, i.e. the image was animated on each and every page load. (IE 8: 8.0.6001....)
Google Chrome: Behaved as in #2, i.e. the image is animated only when there is a new session or when the image is no longer in cache. (Version 10.0.648.204)
FF 3.6.8: Slightly strange, but acceptable.
* The image is animated on new session and on any reload button.
* The last frame is displayed if the location is reentered in the URL bar.
* The last frame is displayed if the back/forward navigation buttons are used.
* SOMETIMES the image is animated and sometimes the last frame is displayed when the change page button is pressed (i.e. Javascript change page).
FF 4.0: Just plain NOT acceptable
* Correctly animates the image on page load for new session
* Correctly animates the image on reload button following clearing the image from cache.
* INCORRECTLY shows the FIRST gif frame if the reload button is pressed.
* INCORRECTLY shows the FIRST gif frame if the URL is reentered from the URL bar.
* INCORRECTLY shows the FIRST gif frame if the page change button is pressed (i.e. Javascript change page).
* INCORRECTLY shows the FIRST gif frame if theURL is reentered from the URL bar after clearing the image from cache.
* INCORRECTLY shows the FIRST gif frame if the page change button is pressed (i.e. Javascript change page) after clearing the item from cache.
All of these tests were run with Windows XP-Pro (all service packs and updates applied).
I can find no clear specification as to what ''should'' happen with pages using animated gifs that are already loaded.
* I can conceive of rationales for always displaying with animation.
* I can also conceive of rationales for sometimes displaying the last frame, especially if the same page is being reloaded since many sites reload the same page in response to user form submissions.
# '''I can see no rationale for displaying the first frame of the gif and would suggest that this is a bug. '''

Can be this bug:
* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=641198 Bug 641198] – Rollover animated gif show only one frame.
You can try these nightly test builds to see if they behave better:
Fx5.0 ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-aurora
Fx6.0 ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central
Create a new profile exclusively for each Firefox version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch each Firefox version with its own profile.

@media screen, projection
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li.MenuBarItemIE
display: inline;
f\loat: left;
background: #FFF;

Because I can't see your site and code in context, I will make a guess that this style is throwing off your alignment:
/* Menu item containers, position children relative to this container and are a fixed width */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
font-size: 100%;
position: relative;
text-align: center;
cursor: pointer;
width: 160px;
float: left;
background-image: url(file:///E|/MAIN_website/images/menu_background.jpg);
Remove the text-align:center; from the above style.
Instead of centering your list element (li), center the link text (a) itself:
/* Menu items are a light gray block with padding and no text decoration */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a
display: block;
cursor: pointer;
padding: 0.5em 0.75em;
color: #FFF;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
font-family: Cambria, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
If you don't want the submenu text to be centered, do this immediately after the previous style:
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul a {text-align: left;}
The sub-submenus are also set up by default to be jogged a bit to the right. You can adjust this style:
/* Submenus should appear slightly overlapping to the right (95%) and up (-5%) */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul ul
position: absolute;
margin: -5% 0 0 95%;
that causes sub-submenus to fly out to the right of the submenus to which they attach.
Submenus themselves (not the sub-submenus) should fall directly under the top menu item by default, once you remove the text-align: center; on the li item (above).

How to stretch background image, How to change show detail item header

Hello all I have a few questions I would like to pose humbly to your collective wisdom, FYI I use Jdeveloper 11.1.3 and ADF Fusion
First, how do I stretch the background Image? I have a background image in a show detail item but it is very small. 400 by 400. Thing is it's just a pic of the color red gradually moving from bright to dark in the image. So stretching it should not make it look horrible, but also repeating it makes it look silly, because you have 50 little images of dark red to bright red, instead of one big image of dark red to bright red. Can this be done and how?
Secondly how do I change the header of the show detail item in a Panel Accordion? I have 8 Show detail items, in the middle of my page and the user can click and switch between which one is open, which makes for a nice effect, but I would like to give each of the show detail items a particular color. I did this with the backgrounds but I can't do it with the header, which are always visible, while only one background is visible at a time. I tried using the skinning technique but I wasn't able to change the header (I changed the background so the skinning was done correctly). I used
af|panelAccordion::header
color: blue;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
background: Maroon;
background-color: Maroon;
}Because I read in the Fusion Guide (or somewhere) that the show detail item cannot be skinned and therefore doesn't have a property like af panel Accordion.
Can it though be achieved through some other means?
Third when I drop the data control on the page and if I pick search form, why can't I use the CreateInsert button? Why can't I use the form to Create new rows? It keeps giving me some type of error, like Row is out of bounds or something? Is that some mistake with my database, or page, or is it not possible to do it like that?
I welcome your words of guidance and also happy new year Huzzah!!!
Edited by: Dino2dy on Jan 4, 2011 2:01 AM

Thanks I haven't really had time to play around with this, as I have other concerns, but I do plan on coming back to it, and it is one of the things about ADF that really is bothersome. Creatively it means I can choose between 2 styles when making an app Blaf Rich and Fusion (the other ones are just worse versions of the two) while I will concede that the superb out of the box functionalities and things I can do declaratively probably mean I won't have a Dreamweaver type freedom of design I thought there might be a way to do some of these custom design changes.
A few questions though
When you skin the accordion are you able to propagate the changes to show detail item headers? Because that is one thing that I really want to change, just the color of the headers but I was unable to do so.
Also there is a component that is not part of a panel accordion or panel tabbed called panel box. Again I changed the backgrounds to great effect but I need to change the panel header and in this I failed.
Granted I used the css color attribute for both not a picture so maybe that is the reason. Just wondering if you succeeded.
Cheers

Background color on XML form

Hi,
I've created a 20x20 image of the background color I want, upload it to KM, and then use that in the Background Image parameter of the XML form. (the Background Repeat Mode is set to Repeat.)
It doesn't seem to work .any idea why ?
Regards,
Hadar

Hi Hadar,
You want to set a background image for the Show form
1.Select the Show form by clicking on the root node in the tree view.
2.Enter the address of the background image into the property background-image.
You have the following options:
You can enter the URL of an image file.
You can enter the parameter %imagepath% followed by the file name.
The parameter %imagepath% references a cross-project folder for images.
To define this folder, choose &#56256;&#56518; Global Options from the XML Forms Builder, and enter the complete path to a folder in a KM repository (for example, /documents/Globalimages) into the field Global Path for Images.
3.Choose the value repeat for the property background-repeat so that the image is repeated over the entire background.
Regards,
Tamil K

Complete page and css code below (scroll down)
All you should be concerned with at this moment to get the background image to appear in the top level anchor is the css style below:
/* Menu items that have a submenu have the class designation MenuBarItemSubmenu and are set to use a background image positioned on the far left (95%) and centered vertically (50%) */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a.MenuBarItemSubmenu
background-color: #000;
background-image: url(../rot.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: left top;
I've added the background-postion because presumably you want it to appear flush left. This overides the out-of-the-box setting which positions it 95% far left.
Here is the code and css:

Background image for a 3d image

I am making 3d images of furniture in AutoCAD and then exporting them as .3ds files. I drag the .3ds file into Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended to create the .pdf file with a 3d image. Is there a way to use an image as the background for 3d part instead of just a color?
Thanks

This question is in 2 parts. I have a .psd with like 20+ layers. I broke it down into 9 different
layers to put into motion for a cool 3D logo. So I drop the background image into motion and it
changes the tint and the shape of the object.
Incorrect aspect ratio settings in PS. Video is rectangular pixels, depending on your codec and format but PS uses square pixels. You're probably using an ink-based color space, too. PS is a print media production tool, video uses light. Switch PS to one of the RGB color management spaces.

Now I can work with that but what really has me ticked is my psd layers are showing up in Motion
with a White Background not a see through background.
You must compose your PS against transparency. That's covered in the PS manuals, not here, but there's a huge section of the Motion manual devoted to properly setting up PS documents.

Now I could maybe make a bunch of masks and work with it but it should work!
Yes, it works just fine when the document form PS is composed properly.
