Calling multiple forms from main form

Hi,
I have a two-part question regarding calling forms from a main form.
I have created a push button (on my main form) with the intention of calling one of two different forms by clicking it. Both forms will be used to search either a person's name (Individual - Form_1) or company name (Organization - Form_2). Once I click the button, I would like to have the option to select one of the forms in an option window (with the titles of the two forms in the option window). Don't know if there's an object for this option window (i.e. another canvas, form, etc). I'm not sure what would be the best approach to do so and how to do it.
In addition, once I select the appropriate form, if I query on a person, I would like to select that person's record (i.e. double-clicking inside text field) and then have that person's id populated back to my main form.
I don't know what triggers and/or code I could use to perform these two tasks. Does anyone have any ideas? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I'm not familiar with tab canvas and setting up new pages. Can you give me an example?
What I tried was setting up two different blocks, one each on a seperate canvas other than the main block's canvas. I called on of them through the button. This seems to work. However, since I'm storing every block on one form and the new blocks are stored on a seperate canvas, the height of the 2 new canvases are shorter due to less infomation to display (as that on the main block). If I shrink the size on the canvas (on the new blocks), it shrinks the display of the main block too at runtime. How could I bypass this?
A few more questions:
I would like to make the blocks invisible until I click the button. I have set the visible property of the canvas to 'No' and when I tab through the form at runtime, those two new blocks are visible. How can I correct this to only display the 2 new search blocks if I click the button only?
Also, on my 2 new search blocks, if I select a value through a double-click, enter, etc, how could I pass that record's value(s) back to the main block (i.e. student_id)?
Thanks for your help. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • Calling multiple BPs from main BP

    Hi,
    I am using JCAPS 5.1.0.
    I'm trying to call multiple Sub BP through Main BP using event-based decision.
    I'm invoking 2 WSDL operations in the sub business processes.
    Now, only one subprocess is working and while testing the another , i'm getting the following error msg : "wsMsg is null and the associated Fault container is not available.." . Also, i would like to know how to use 'Partners' in the main BP in this scenario since the correct configuration is required to run successfully.
    kindly, give ur suggestionz.. thanks!

  • Error while calling a form from another form's menu item

    I created a main form and menu module for this form.
    I am calling another form from main form menu item.
    i moved both the forms and menu and compiled them.
    But, when i run this form i am getting an error saying
    FRM 92100: Your connection to the server was interrupted
    This may be the result of a network error, or a failure on the server.
    You will need to establish your session.
    I set the seperateframe = true
    networkentries = 30
    But still getting the same error.
    Is there any parameter that i am missing.
    I will greatly appreciate if anybody can direct me to the solution.
    Thank you.

    hi
    try something like this.
    DECLARE
    charWinHandle VARCHAR2(50);
    numWinHandle NUMBER;
    BEGIN Set_Application_Property(Cursor_Style,'BUSY');
    charWinHandle := Get_Item_Property('Control.Rep',Window_Handle);
    numWinHandle := To_Number(charWinHandle);
    :Item('Control.CrystalReport1').OCX.Crystal.Crysta lReport.WindowParentHandle
    := numWinHandle;
    :Item('Control.CrystalReport1').OCX.Crystal.Crysta lReport.WindowState := 2;
    :Item('CONTROL.CRYSTALREPORT1').OCX.Crystal.Crysta lReport.Connect
    := 'DSN=;UID=' || Get_Application_Property(UserName) ||
    ';pwd=' || Get_Application_Property(password) || ';dsq=;';
    Crystal_CrystalCtrl.ReportFileName( :Item('Control.CrystalReport1').interface,
    'C:\Sample_Rep.Rpt' );
    Set_Window_Property( Forms_Mdi_Window, Window_State,Maximize );
    Set_Window_Property( 'MAIN', Window_State, Maximize );
    :reptitle := 'Report Preview Window';
    numWinHandle := Crystal_CrystalCtrl.PrintReport( :Item('Control.CrystalReport1').interface );
    Set_Application_Property(Cursor_Style,'DEFAULT');
    END;NOTE: Change the report name and path according to your required file name and path in
    the "Crystal_CrystalCtrl.ReportFileName" method call. Also, the connection string shown
    assumes that you will use the current USER and PASSWORD for the Form.
    - To make the above Form generic so that you can run any Crystal report from it, then create
    a parameter for the report name and pass it to the Form using CALL_FORM from any other Form.
    Then just replace the file name with the passed parameter.
    -. Run the Form
    If its correct/helpful please mark it thanks.

  • **How to call a report from a form by passing a specfic value?????

    Hi Expert,
    I want to call a report from a form.My problem scenario like, a user is login to his account and there is a option called ADMIT CARD(Push Button).Now when he pressed the button a report will generate.I want that when he pressed the button the user id of the user will passed to the report and the report will generate corresponding to his details which was stored in the database.This scenario is like any online admit card.
    Suppose I want a details report of employee whose employee_id=100.How could I pass this value(employee id) to report which will generate a report details.

  • Calling a Report from a Form

    I have uploaded my form to the app server and compiled to Linux. I have copied my RDF file to the reports_path/demo directory. I can run the report via a link from our portal using the URL as follows:
    /reports/rwservlet?report=IndRpt.rdf&desformat=pdf&destype=cache&userid=' target="_blank"
    That opens the report in a separate window, which is what we want. So far, so good.
    I can run the form via a link from our portal as well using the URL as follows:
    /forms/frmservlet?config=bsc_ind
    The config section hides all the form parameters very nicely.
    In the portal, I created a Report Server Access portlet, REP_OMHAST2_MIDTIER, and use the following set_report_object calls in my form:
    repid := find_report_object('IndRep');
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTYrepid,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,BATCH);
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTYrepid,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESTYPE,CACHE);
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'PDF');
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTYrepid,REPORT_SERVER,'rep_omhast2_midtier');
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,ls_param);
    v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
    rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep);
    WHILE rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED') LOOP
    rep_status := report_object_status(v_rep);
    END LOOP;
    IF rep_status = 'FINISHED' THEN
    /*Display report in the browser*/
    WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://omhast2.omh.state.ny.us:7777/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||
    substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=rep_omhast2_midtier ','_blank');
    All that comes right out of the white paper.
    Now here's the weird part, I have never seen this before. When I click my "Show Report" button in my form, the report seems to be running, but then I get a very strange dark grey, square icon superimposed over my mouse pointer. The icon has a small yellow "starburst" pattern with a tiny red exclamation point inside. The report does not appear on screen.
    Incidentally, all of this works correctly when I run the same scenario on my workstation using the call to rwserver as: rwserver server=rep_omhast2_midtier. But when we port it to the app server, it does not run. I think it has to be in the way the form calls the report because the report will run as a stand-alone object.
    Anything apparent to anyone out there?

    Well, it looks like I stumped the band. And with good reason. Sorry for the error. The problem was that the user running the form and the report had a pop-up blocker that was blocking the report. The form and the report ran from another machine. I allowed pop-ups from the report's URL and that enabled the report to appear.
    So, here we have another example of how to call a report from a form. Again, I am sorry for any angst this may have caused.

  • Calling 10g Report from 6i Form

    A 6i client-server form has a call to a 10g report in the form of a URL.
    The HOST command calls Internet Explorer and with the URL appended. This, however, keeps the form locked until IE is closed.
    Is there a way around this or a better way to call a URL from 6i Forms?
    Thank you.

    Found an example. It seems to work fine.
    I believe this is replaced in Forms 10g by web.show_document though.
    win_api_shell.winexec(vcCommand, WIN_API.SW_SHOWNORMAL, FALSE);

  • Calling Sql*Loader from oracle Form builder

    How do i call sql* loader from my forms to import the external data in different formats into my existing database?
    Specify the flexibility of sql* loader to import external data from .txt files or .xls files.
    Would be thankful if certain examples are given along with the answer.

    Hi,
    1. First you have to create seperate ctl (Control files) which maps to different file formats
    2. Using Oracle Forms,
    2a) You can use the 'HOST' command to execute the command line ie. In this case executing
    SQL*Loader script
    2b) You also have the feature in ORACLE forms to read text files and load the data into
    ORACLE db.
    This can be achieved by using TEXT_IO package which comes with ORACLE Forms.
    Hope this helps

  • Control access of a form from another form.

    hi all,
    Please help me .
    This is a system which contains a lot of forms (more than 100) . The system administrator can specify whether a user can insert, update,delete or query for each form (this varies for each user). So, when a user logs in and calls a form i have to enable / disable the insert, update,delete or query according to the user who has logged in and the privileges the system administrator has given for that form.
    i used the call_form method with query_only mode and no_query_only(normal mode) option . The normal mode allows insert,update,delete and query together but i want the user to insert into database without querying any of the records.
    So, in short , i would like to know if i can enable/disable insert,update,delete & query of a called form(Form B) from calling form (Form A) without having to modify (Form B) and without issuing any grant statements in the database side ? Is there any option like the one in the call form method?
    Thanking you in advance.

    Thank you very much for the response.
    yes, set form property and set block property can be used when i want to enable / disable insert in the current form. But, what if i want to control enable/disable insert from another form (the main form) ????
    Can i pass parameters ? without making any change in the current form.

  • Can we call multiple Smartforms from single Driver Prog?

    Hi all,
    Can we call multiple smartforms from single Driver Program. Here Driver program is custom Program.
    I want to give Print Parameter only once and output should get printed one after the another smartform in same order of smarforms were called.
    If yes, then how?
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, you can do this in your Smartform driver program.
    Each time you call you Smartform function module you will need to change the values in structure OUTPUT_OPTIONS slightly.
    On the first call set TDNEWID to X.
    After this, set it to space
    On the last form set TDFINAL to X.
    This will put all of the output into one spool request, in the order they are called in the program.
    Regards,
    Nick
