Block property pallete question.

Hi folks,
Am working on this form, in one of the data blocks, the database data block is set = 'N'. However, the data source is = 'Database table' and the data source name = 'Database Table name'. What is the significant of this. None of the Items is a database item. In another block just like the one above, one item is a database item.
Kind Regards,
Ade

Sourav,
Data source name is the table name in case of data source type is TABLE.
Data source name could be 'SELECT EMPNO, ENAME FROM EMP' if data source type was FROM clause.
Do you understand this relation ?
anyway you can find explanation in the Forms Builder Online-help (Ctrl+H)

Query_data_source_name block property

Hi all.
I want to create a block non-base table in which I want to change dynamically the source of the block. I have thougth to set at runtime the block property query_data_source_name and to pass it a different select at a different value of a parameter.
My questions are:
1) How is the use of this property??? I have seen it on the on line help but it's not clear.
2) Is there another way to obtain the same result??
I'm on devsuite10g.
Thanks in advance for the collaboration.
Fabrizio

I have tried to clear the block; but the result is the same.
Here is my code:
DECLARE
condizione varchar2(5000) := null;
BEGIN
     condizione := '(select '||:parameter.campo1||', count('||:parameter.campo1||') from '||:parameter.imposta_ricerca||' group by '||:parameter.campo1||')';
     go_block('sag_cong_congiunturali');
     clear_block;
     set_block_property('sag_cong_congiunturali_raggr',query_data_source_name,condizione);
     go_block('sag_cong_congiunturali_raggr');
     execute_query;
END;
When I'm in runtime the select is this:
(select CODICE, count(CODICE) from SAG_CONG_CONGIUNTURALI group by CODICE)
I don't understand where is the error...

Item property does not overrides block property ?

I have CURRENT RECORD VISUAL ATTRIBUTE set to SOMETHING for block A. i also have CURRENT RECORD VISUAL ATTRIBUTE for item AA in block A ( A.AA) . but when i run form, it looks like item AA's CURRENT RECORD VISUAL ATTRIBUTE is not in effect ?
usually item's property should override block property. but it'snot happening here.. can anyone figure out??

Set_Item_Instance_Property is a more specific control, so Set_Item_Property logically should not change it.
Create two package variables defined in a package specification in the form, trig_item and trig_record.
Change your WBP trigger:
Set_Item_Instance_Property(Pkg1.trig_item,Pkg1.trig_record, VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE,'');
Pkg1.trig_item := :System.trigger_item;
Pkg1.trig_record := :system.trigger_record;
Set_Item_Instance_Property(Pkg1.trig_item,Pkg1.trig_record, VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE,'SET');
Actually, a When-New-Item-Instance trigger might be better than the WBP trigger, so the same action would occur no matter how the cursor is moved around your form (Using Enter or Tab, or shift-Tab, or scrolling).

Block Property - Update

Hi,
I have a problem with forms dev. 6.0 block property. I have only one master block and no details blocks. And I set want user can update the block but not insert. So i set the properties update and insert, true-false properly. But when i want to update a column in the block it wont let me to update. I check the status of the both properties and there was no change. but still cant solve it. Can u help me please. Thanks.

i've done it already. I've checked the insert and update properties and theres no change of any property but it still dont let me to update. I looked up to the block triggers and item triggers that any changing procedure but i found nothing.

What property/preference sets block property "Update changed columns only"

Hi, we are wondering how Designer (latest version 10.1.2.4) desides when it generates a form with block property "Update changed columns only" set to Yes.
Under some cricumstances this property is No in the generated .fmb
We checked the object library, but the .olb has this property set to No, so Designer overrules it.
Our goal is to generate all blocks with the "Update changed columsn only" set to No, because we ran in a forms bug that it can't handle Insert statements on blocks with this property set to Yes (ORA-01036). This bug only occurs in the latest forms version 10.1.2.3
Hope anyone can help to force this property to be No when we want to achieve 100% generation from Designer.
Kind Regards
Auke Quist
Edited by: aukequist on Oct 13, 2008 8:49 PM

I think that's not possible in designer. You could define a block with this property set in the template form or in the object library. The use this block use the template/library object property in designer.

Problem in block property (delete allowed)

hi friends,
i have created a form having two blocks with non-isolated relation in them. i have set the delete allowed property to true for child block and false for master block. But when i run the form it will not allow me to delet the record from the child block as the delete allowed button appears in disabled form in the toolbar...
please help in enabling the button so that i can delete the record at runtime for the child block

which kind of toolbar did you use. selfwritten or oracle-standard ?

Is there any power pivot feature similar to" conditional block " property in cognos reports?

I have a report with multiple power pivot charts. My requirement is to create a prompt which prompts the user with the list of charts and based on his selection , one of the charts will be displayed at a time. ie, user will have a choice for display
of the chart. and these charts should have a common filter. I am using excel 2013 and SSAS tabular model.
Could anyone please help me on this
Thanks in advance

Hi BLtechie,
If you are ok with using VBA (precluding the workbook from functioning correctly within SharePoint in an Excel Web Access web part) then you should be able to adapt the solution here:
http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-questions/525495-conditionally-show-hide-charts.html
Alternatively, if you have a tabular model and access to SharePoint 2013 with Reporting Services Integrated mode running SQL 2012 SP1 CU 4 or higher you could instead create a power view report that used the pinned filters property and simply presented
each of the pivot charts on named sheets (forming your user's selection choice).

Hope this helps,

Setting property pallette

hi
how do i set a block or field to be locked and unlocked.
default property is locked from update or insert
when u click edit, set insert and update records to yes and change the colour.

orcnewb wrote:
how do i set a block or field to be locked and unlocked.What do you mean by locked which property?
default property is locked from update or insertDefault property of what is locked?
Do you mean the ENABLED, INSERT_ALLOWED, UPDATE_ALLOWED, properties for the Item and Block
(There is no ENABLED for block).
when u click edit, set insert and update records to yes and change the colour.You can set the block properties as :
SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY ('BLOCK_NAME', INSERT_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_TRUE);
SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY ('BLOCK_NAME', UPDATE_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_TRUE);
You can set the block properties as :
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY ('ITEM_NAME', INSERT_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_TRUE);
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY ('ITEM_NAME', UPDATE_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_TRUE);
If you have set ENABLED property of an Item to No in addition to setting the ENABLED property
you also need to set the NAVIGABLE, UPDATE_ALLOWED and (INSERT_ALLOWED if required) property to True.
To change the color :
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY ('ITEM_NAME', BACKGROUND_COLOR, 'r88g100b100');
Hope this helps.
Best Regards

Yes. you can add your own message on form level. User ON-MESSAGE trigger and write down the given code :-
DECLARE
msgnum NUMBER       := MESSAGE_CODE;
msgtxt VARCHAR2(80) := MESSAGE_TEXT;
msgtyp VARCHAR2(3) := MESSAGE_TYPE;
ALERT_BUTTON Number;
BEGIN
IF msgnum = 40301 then

         ALERT_BUTTON := SHOW_ALERT('ALERT_OK');
         RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE; */
null;
Elsif msgnum = 40355 then
          SET_ALERT_PROPERTY('ALERT_OK',ALERT_MESSAGE_TEXT,msgtxt);
         ALERT_BUTTON := SHOW_ALERT('ALERT_OK');
         RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
Elsif msgnum = 40657 then
          SET_ALERT_PROPERTY('ALERT_OK',ALERT_MESSAGE_TEXT,msgtxt);
         ALERT_BUTTON := SHOW_ALERT('ALERT_OK');
         RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
elsif msgnum = 40400 then
          message('Operation completed Successfully');
END IF;
END;

Layers Pallette Question

I use PSE9 for digital scrapbooking. Lately, when I have several pictures and elements on the page, I have to click on the Layers Pallette to select an item to move. If I don't click on another item, the item I have just selected will move when I move my mouse. I used to be able to click on an element or picture on the page and move it.

With the Move Tool selected you probably don't have Auto-Select checked in the tool options bar.
