Button code to create new record

Question

I know that there is a button on the default toolbar when your first run a form, but i do not want this toolbar on my form, however, i need a button that does the same function (to blank the input items in preparation for a new record).
How is this done?
Cheers.

Answer 1

Try the folowing
1. Create an alert with the following properties,
Name : confirm
Title : Confirm
Message: Do you want to save changes ?
Alert Style: Caution
2. Create a button in the form and paste the following code in the when_button_pressed trigger.
DECLARE
-- Variable to store the which button is pressed by user for the alert
     v_button number;
BEGIN
     --Condition to check if new record is created and is ready to validate.
     IF :system.record_status='NEW' THEN
          --Show the alert to confirm changes
          v_button := show_alert('Confirm');
          --If user presses OK then save changes and exit form.
          IF v_button=alert_button1 THEN
               commit_form;
               exit_form;
          ELSE     
               --If user presses CANCEL the delete the blank record and exit form.
               delete_record;
               exit_form;
               END IF;
     END IF;
     -- Exit the form for any other status
     IF :system.record_status <> 'NEW' THEN
          exit_form;
     END IF;
END;
Try the above code and check if it works.
