Browser size when launched from Forms Builder

Hi, Does anyone know how to set the size of the IE browser when launched from Forms Builder? I have set the width and height setting to 100% so that the applet takes up all the browser space, however the browser is still not as large as I'd like.
When I start IE on its own, it opens in the desired size, it's only when running it from Forms Builder that it's too small. I've searched on the net, but nothing seems to work, there must be a setting specific to Forms?
Thanks
Sam

If you are using SeparateFrame = True, then you might try using these in your When-New-Form-Instance trigger:
set_window_property(forms_mdi_window, window_state, maximize);
set_window_property('Your_Main_Window', window_state, maximize);
If you are not using SeparateFrame = True, then you may have to use JavaScript in the page where your applet is located. Javascript can also go in your formsweb.cfg file. See:
HTMLbeforeForm=<script>....</script>
or
HTMLafterForm=<script>....</script>

  • Browser blank when running a form from forms builder ??

    Hi,
    I am trying to run a form from forms builder.
    I have a form , compiles, and when I run the form nothing comes up in my browser.
    my browser is completely blank.
    I am running everything on my local machine.
    the steps I took.
    - downloaded jinit.exe, installed it.
    - started the OC4j
    - restarted my browser
    - then connect to my DB from forms builder - connects fine
    - Run the form
    but nothing is coming up when i run my form.
    I even restarted my machine and still nothing.
    What am I missing ??
    Thanks,

    This is a fairly common question. If you have the Jnit installed and OC4J running, then I would suggest you add the directory where your FMX is located to the FORMS_PATH in the 'DEFAULT.ENV' file located in the %DEVSUITE_HOME%/forms/server directory. The FORMS_PATH variable defines the SEARCH Path for Forms Applications so Forms can find your .FMX and .PLX files.
    You could also modify the URL and specify the Form='your_form_name.fmx', but I prefer adding the directory to the FORMS_PATH so I don't have to add FORMS="" for each different form I'm working on.
    Hope this helps,

    Thanks
    V.S.

    One of our DBAs has installed the software.
    It was a default installation, I believe, as no configuration was done during the installation except for increasing the virtual memory size.
    Post installation we changed the tnsnames.ora file and the sqlnet.ora file.
    Do i need to configure something ?
    Thanks,

  • Developer Server 6.0 hanging when launched from Netscape 4.6

    Hi, simple question to ask about OAS and Developer Server.
    My Developer Server 6.0 hanging when launched from Netscape 4.61,
    I am currently running...
    Pentium PII 200Mz running NT sp5
    Forms Server version 6.0.5.31.0 (Patch 3 applied)
    OAS version 4.0.7.1.0 (Patch applied)
    Jinitiator 1.1.7.18
    Netscape 4.61 browser
    I have all the latest versions of everything that is available,
    I have followed the instructions.
    I successfully connect to the OAS admin utility and have setup
    all the virtual to physical directory mappings under the default
    listener www. I successfully start all website OAS services.
    I have Forms server successfully started up as a process
    listening on port 9000.
    I have two statics html files created:
    a) with Jinititator 1.1.7.18
    The very first time I connected to this static html file it
    installed Jinitiator as expected. The Forms server splashscreen
    then appears.
    Jinitiator then starts up successfully, no errors appear in the
    Java console. This has proved I am talking to the listener and
    my virtual directory mappings are working.
    At this point there is a lot of disk activity and then all
    stops, the splashscreen remains and appears in the discussion
    area:
    FRM-9999 cannot access "koala.ilaco.gov.bo:9000" and
    a series of java exceptions
    I am pointing to the correct java directories (I think)
    b) with out Jinitiator
    When I try to call using URL with Netscape 4.61 I get a
    message on the status bar saying...
    Applet oracle.forms.engine.Main class oracle/forms/engine/Main
    got a security violation: Method verification error
    Can you help ?
    If you know the answer, please let me know as soon as
    posible.
    Thanks for the answer....

    I respond your email, with my actual server configuration my
    problem is now: I get the splash screen and after form is hanged.
    My server configuration is:
    Compaq PC, with Pentium II, the software is:
    - Windows NT, with Service Pack 5
    - Oracle Application Server, v.4.0.7.1.0 Enterprice Edition,
    pathset 1
    - Developer Server v.6 patchset 3
    - My browser in this machine is Netscape 4.61
    - Jinitiator 1.1.7.18 is also used.
    My developer server is installed and running on the same machine
    that OAS is. I am using other browser in other machine (IE5)
    and trying to connect to the OAS on the first machine.
    My problems begin when I launch ifsrv60.exe. I copied
    ifwcm60.dll v.6.0.5.0.2, and other files required in the %
    ORACLE_HOME%\bin
    I forced listener Developer Server Port (
    c:\orant\bin\ifsrv60.exe -listen port=9000 )
    Now, I can connect with this process, with the following line:
    telnet koala 9000. The listener is working now.
    I tried to work with my (NonCartride-static html)forms60 form on
    WEB without Jinitiator, but I couldn't.
    With Netscape, in the status bar: Applet
    oracle.forms.engine.Main can3t stop ERROR
    With IE5, I get the splash screen and after the forms is hanged.
    If I use Jinitiator:
    With Netscape, in the status bar: Oracle Jinitiato: applet
    oracle.forms.engine.Main inited then form is hanged.
    With IE5, I get the splash screen and after that, the screen
    freezes and looks like the form is hanged.
    Any further suggestions on this?

  • Run form from form builder

    Hi,
    I am using Form 6i and copied Forms60Libraries in my local machine. I am developing form which will be registered with oracle apps. Now I want to run this form locally instead of uploading into server everytime while testing which I don't have access depending on other for this move.
    So, Please guide me to run this form from Form Builder locally if there is a way.
    Thanks in advance.

    As Alex suggested, you will need local copies of all the required Apps resource files (*.pll, *.plx, etc). Running an Apps form from the Forms Builder does not require any special setup on your workstation beyond this. However, even with all the required resource files you will run into errors each time your form calls one of the standard apps built-ins. It has been a while since I've worked with Apps, but I was able to get around the calls to these built-ins by checking if the Form was running on the web or client/server and only calling the Apps built-in if running on the web. It was a bit of a pain to setup, but it was worth being able to test my form localling from the Forms Builder rather than upload the form to the server in order to test the runtime. Here is how I accomplished this. In each trigger that calls an Apps built-in (eg: APP_STANDARD.Event) do the following. Typically, I only needed to add the following code the Form level triggers, but it depended on each form.
    /* Example When-New-Form-Instance */
    DECLARE
       UI_type   VARCHAR2(15) := Get_Application_Property(USER_INTERFACE);
    BEGIN
       IF ( UI_type = 'WEB' ) THEN
          -- Execute Apps built-ins...
          APP_STANDARD.EVENT('WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE');
       END IF;
       -- Perform the rest of your processing here
    END;Hope this helps,
    Craig B-)

  • FRM-10242:  Cannot call linked-in Forms from Form Builder. error

    FRM-10242: Cannot call linked-in Forms from Form Builder.
    Cause: The menu designer specified a call to linked-in Forms from within Form Builder.
    Action: Notify your DBA.
    does anyone know why this happens.
    I have this main-menu.. and when i click on one of the submenus which should call the form....i get this error.

    Same issue here... Been trying to get this working since a week now. I tried all the solutions like memory heap and all but no luck.
    One thing that I would like to know is that, in some threads the resolution was to recompile the INS_FORMS.MK file under /forms/lib32 but with my installation I don't have that "lib32" folder under /forms/ and I can not even find that file anywhere in my entire installation.
    I am using 12.1.1 on Windows Server 2008.
    Any help or guidelines is greatly appreciated.

  • How can I control the image size when I export form iphoto, the choice is too limited, I need to send a photo under 3 MB but if I choose high quaulity it is only 1.1 and i need to keep the best quaulity I can. Thanks for help.

    How can I control the image size when I export form iphoto, the choice is too limited, I need to send a photo under 3 MB but if I choose high quaulity it is only 1.1 and i need to keep the best quaulity I can. Thanks for help.

    Any image can only be as large as the Original. With a program like Photoshop you can UpRes an image and get it to a bigger size, larger files size as well, but the actual quality of the image will be degraded, depending on the UpRes system and the original quality of the image.
    iPhoto is not the program to be doing that in and I don't think it even has that option.
    So I suspect the image you are trying to send isn't much bigger than what you are getting. You can also try Exporting it from iPhoto to yopur desktop and see what size you end up with. If it is still that 209KB +/- file size then that is the size of the original image.

  • OC4J service startup & running form from forms builder

    Hello everybody,
    I have installed Oracle 9i database and Oracle 9i DS on my personal Computer. (O.S. is Windows XP) . Now if I want to run any form from Forms builder I have to everytime start the OC4J service, from oracle-home\j2ee\oracle9i DS\startinst.bat
    How to eliminate this? Is there any way to automate this procedure? so that everytime when I open the forms builder, it will automatically start this service or run this bat file.
    Or any other way to overcome this prob?
    regards
    achchani

    Hi,
    unfortunately the answer is no. If you search the Internet you may find lik of how to make bat execution a Windows Service

  • Running form from Forms Builder with IE

    Forms 11.1.1.4, IE 8, Windows 7 64-bit.
    1. Running form from Forms Builder with IE results in Page cannot be displayed. My Java console doesn't even appear so it's not getting to the servlet part.
    2. Running same form stand-alone in IE works fine. The URLs are identical (I've cut/pasted them)
    3. Running same form from Forms Builder with Firefox works fine. The only change I made was to the runtime preference for the browser location.
    Seems like this has to be something to do with the browser configuration that only occurs from Forms Builder. What could it be?

    I'm not sure about the specifics of your configuration but I suspect the answer is in formsweb.cfg (and the associated .env file).
    I think that generally the configuration that runs for formbuilder is the "default" whereas you could be specifying a different
    one on the url not going through formbuilder. (but if you're using em then it's really hard to know what's going on since it seems
    to not write changes back to the config and env files until it is stopped. This caused me many days of confusion until I figured it out and
    that's why I would highly advise never using it to modify .config or env settings.)
    check what jre is installed in ie (tools, manage addons, there is on my machine:
    java 2 plugin ssv helper and JQSIEStartDetectorImpl browser helper object.
    Not sure which one or both is necessary.
    Have your url be a trusted site, unblock it from popup blockage, and most of all stare at your formsweb.cfg default section. It would help
    if you specified what was in the url. do you have config=X in there?

  • Access 2010 on 64 Bit Windows 7 Access "Not Responding" when changing from forms view to design view and back

    I am running
    Windows 7 64 bit
    Access 2010 32 bit
    Developing an application with a split FE BE with both files local but continue to have the message "Not Responding" when switching from forms view to design view and back as well as if I try to connect to a subform or object on the sub form.

    I have seen this behavior when the form's RecordSource is a complex query such as a crosstab or a query with several nested queries. To test if this is your case, remove the RecordSource and see if the form starts acting normal again.
    Then again, if the form has several subforms they might be slowing up the loading time.

  • DNG files will not open in photoshop when launched from lightroom

    This just started, I can't open DNG files in photoshop when launching from within lightroom.  Not sure how to fix this.  the dng files launch fine from bridge.

    As for your issue with DNGs in CS, did you bother to update ACR to version 2.4?
    See the detailed instructions on the download page.
    >What I need to know is whether or not my PS CS will work with files converted by Adobe DNG.
    Of course ACR will, if you correctly install Adobe Camera Raw 2.4.
    No version of Photoshop opens raw or DNG files, only ACR does, hosted by Photoshop. But you do need at least version 2.4 of ACR, which was the first to support DNGs.

    When you email from iPhoto, you have a choice as to the size of the picture - choose medium and your friends will be able to see them.  By the way, do your friends click on the photo attachment  in the mail to open it?

    I use rock media player, which can encode & decode The Video and audio files i use, unlike the phone i have, i don't receive the option to set the app as the default media player. I would really like to be able to use this app on the thrive as it is some much a better media player than the thrives defaulty app. Rock player is the name of the app, who do set it as the default player when launched from the default file manager.

    From my experience playing with the Thrive, when you attempt to watch a media file, it will open a menu asking you what application to use. From that popup, you can set a default.

  • Using fonts when launching from JNLP

    Hello,
    I followed the directions in this link http://fxexperience.com/2010/05/how-to-embed-fonts/ and was able to add and use fonts in my javafx program when launched from Netbeans. But when I try to launch from JNLP, the fonts do not show up (the text shows up as Arial).
    Is there something special I need to do to access the fonts in the jar and utilize them?
    As the link directed I created a fonts folder in my src folder where I store all the .ttf file, and created a fonts.mf file in META-INF where I map a name to the font file. Works fine when launching from netbeans.
    thanks in advance for your help
    jose

    I've found the problem! It's the timestamp for the JNLP file. But unfortunately I can't figure out the workaround as yet.
    To explain the problem it would be best to start with my application's installation procedure:
    The applcation is installed by way of CD (using javaws -import) as downloading an 8mb jar file over dialup is unwieldy. Subsequent updates are retrieved from the server. Jardiffs are sent back to the webstart client so updates over dialup becomes manageble.
    The application jar file in the CD is version 1.0. Let's say the server is now at version 1.3 with the timestamp 2005-10-01 00:00:00.
    The user installs the application using the CD today which gives his JNLP file the timestamp of 2005-10-03 00:00:00.
    When the application is started, it calls the server to check for updates. Although the JNLP file returned from the server specifically states that the current version is at version 1.3 Java Web Start insists on using the timestamp to perform the comparison first.
    Since the timestamp of the JNLP file in the user's pc is dated later than the JNLP file in the server, Java Web Start ignores the version checking and assumes that the application in the server is the latest and greatest.
    Has anyone encountered a similiar situation? The only solution I can think of is to hack the JNLPDownloadServlet to return a date that's way in the future so that Java Web Start picks up the changes... sigh.
    Is it possible to disable the timestamp checking for the JNLP files? As again, help is mucho appreciated and there are 10 duke dollars at stake too :)
