Canvas setting ?

I've been stretching and resizing my 6i form c/s during the testing phase and have noticed that my canvas can sometimes move around when resizing and stretching the window.
ie. imagine a master/detail form for example, it is possible, by resizing and stretching to arrive at a situation in which the master block is not visible, it has been 'moved' as if my content canvas has 'slid' about 5inches north within the window.
Is there a property that I have to set or something.
Thanks,
n.

Canvas problem is in RUNTIME. Not development.
Frame prop has been changed to "Manually".
Thanks,

Quick Canvas set-up question

Hi All-
Im trying to set up 2 different print canvas's, one to make a card that is 12.5 x 3 inches another that's 12.5 x 4.
I cannot seem to set the canvas to print this exact size- always comes out "off" any suggestions?

was just coming in to clarify
Im setting it at 72 dpi and 12.5 (inches) W and 3 (inches) H. Its at low res now as I do not have access to the higher res pics yet, and this is just an exploration design. eventually it will be 300dpi and need to be press ready.
At the setting above, I print it out on my office printer, and literally cutting it out to try and fit the pop stand below.

FCP7: White Viewer and White Canvas (set to RGB)

Hello,
I had been using the universal version of the first Final Cut Studio for a few years now without any issue. When I upgraded to FCS3, I can't get FCP7 to show any footage (or even Color Bars) in the Viewer or Canvas. You hear the audio of the footage but it's all WHITE. Both frames are set to RGB (not alpha).
I have fully re-installed FCP7 but I still see the same results. It doesn't seem to matter what easy setup I use either.
I can take the same DV or HDV footage and play it in Quicktime outside of FCP7 so I'm confident that my onboard graphics card is not having some sort of trouble.
I have a case open with AppleCare but so far they have not resolved this issue.
Is this White Viewer and Canvas issue happening to anyone else here?
Thanks.

Trash your preferences?
#44: FCP acting weird - Trash Prefs
Shane's Stock Answer #44: FCP acting weird or unusual. Just not like is normally should
If the program was working fine, and now isn't, or just isn't working the way it should, the first things to do are:
1) Trash your FCP preferences. Download the Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/trashing_fcpprefs.html
2) Open the Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
3) Shut down for 10 min. Go for a quick walk around the block and get SOME exercise today. Come back, turn on the computer and see how things are.
4) (optional) Do the Hokey Pokey and turn your self about. Results may vary.

Having a problem saving the graphics on a canvas.

I'm having a problem saving graphics on a canvas. It draws on the canvas but when another window comes up the graphics disappear. I put in a method to take the graphics on the canvas and repaint it with the graphics. But this comes up blank. So I don't know why this is happening. It is probably the paint method but I don't know why. If anyone has any ideas could you please respond because I have had this problem for ages now and it's driving me mad and I have to get this finished or I'm going to be a lot of trouble. I'll show you the code for the class I am concerned with. It is long but most of it can be disregarded. The only parts which are relevent are the paint method and where the drawline e.t.c are called which is in the mouse release

Tab Canvas

Hi,
I am using Forms 10g. I have Content canvas named CANVAS1 display few items from BLK1. I created a tab canvas called TAB_CAN contains TAB_PAGE1 and TAB_PAGE2, display items from BLK2
I would like to show the form in enter query mode and Form should display both CANVAS1 and TAB_CAN
Content canvas only displayed if i write in when-new-form-instance
show_view('canvas1');
show_view('tab_can');
go_item('blk2.item1);
go_item('blk1.item1)
enter-query;
tab canvas only displayed if i write code like this in write in when-new-form-instance
show_view('canvas1');
show_view('tab_can');
go_item('blk1.item1)
go_item('blk2.item1);
enter-query;
So, I request you to write a code to display both canvases and control should be in contant canvas and form should be enter-query mode.
Regards,
Murali

Hello Murali,
As you are saying you want to show a Content canvas (Canvas1) and Tab Canvas (Tab_Can) both at the same time, you need to use more than one window for this.
Actually at any instant of time, you can show only one canvas on any window. So have two windows WINDOW 1 and WINDOW 2.
In Content canvas, set the window as WINDOW1, and in WINDOW1 set the primary canvas as CANVAS1. And, for tab canvas actually you should have another content canvas(CANVAS2) on which you have placed this Tab_Can. So in content canvas (CANVAS2), set the window as WINDOW2, and in WINDOW2 set the primary canvas as CANVAS2.
It will work i feel.

Yathish...

Tab canvas after content canvas impossible?

I am still having problems with tab canvases that come after content canvases in Designer 6i. I have changed the QMSO$BLOCK.QMS$BLOCK_INFO VISIBLE property to YES and this allowed me to generate the form, but now I have the little QMS$BLOCK_INFO item displaying and worse yet all of my multi-record tab pages only display 1 record. Is there something else that needs to be changed in the object library? Can I even generate forms with 2 or more tab pages after a content canvas in Headstart 6i (patch 13)?

I recommend a couple of things:
- Create a copy of cgso$block and call it something like my$block_tab_problem. In cgso$block, set qms$block_info back to VISIBLE false. Set qms$block_info to VISIBLE only in the my$block_tab_problem copy. In designer, for each MCO that is on the base canvas and has child blocks on tabs on the same canvas, set the Template/Library Object property to my$block_tab_problem. In other words, only apply this change where you absolutely must apply it - the master block of this particular layout.
- Code a pre-form trigger that sets the qms$block_item trigger to VISIBLE false using the set_item_property built-in. Again, you will only have to include this code in the few forms where you have this layout. This will hide the ugly item.
- This will eliminate the problem with the multi-record blocks because they inherit qms$block_info from cgso$block which has been set back to VISIBLE false.

Red canvas screen?

Why is my canvas screen Red tinted all of the sudden when it is paused. It's normal during playback.

Is your Canvas set up any differently than the illustration below?

JMenuBar is hidden by Canvas

Hi,
I have a class that extends JFrame, this has a JMenuBar set to it (set with setJMenuBar method of JFrame) and is displayed fine until i try to add a java.awt.Canvas object to the center of the JFrame(using a BorderLayout) . When this canvas has been added then you can still click on the JMenu names in the JMenuBar but the JMenu itself is no hidden behind the canvas. Here is some of the code
Class that extends JFrame's constructor
//call the super constructor
          super("My Image Viewer");
          //get the content pane
          c = getContentPane();
          //set the layout of the frame
          c.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
          //create a new MenuHandler
          menuHandler = new MenuHandler();
          //create a new JFileChooser
          fileChooser = new JFileChooser("C:/Documents and Settings/"
                    + "Irene Stephanie/My Documents");
          //create a new file filter
          filter = new ImgFilter();
          //assign the file filter
          fileChooser.setFileFilter(filter);
          //create a new window canvas
          canvas = new WindowCanvas();
          add("Center", canvas);
          //set up the menus
          initMenu();
          //set the JMenuBar
          setJMenuBar(menuBar);
          //Set the window size
          setSize(640, 480);
          //make the window visible
          setVisible(true);Class that extends Canvas
public class WindowCanvas extends Canvas{
     public WindowCanvas(){
          super();
     public void paint(Graphics g){
     }Please not that it works if you add the JMenuBar to the South position, and that you can draw in the canvas, but you cannot see the JMenu's.
Any help will be greatly apreciated

A Canvas is a heavyweight component. By default, Swing menus are lightweight components. You need to call
JPopupMenu.setDefaultLightWeightPopupEnabled(false);before creating your menus.

Viewport setting is Not giving right output when forms on the Web

I have a stacked canvas which has a rounded rectangular graphics. When I manipulate the viewable area using viewport settings, I am getting different (unxepected) view when the form is deployed on the web. for example,with the viewport x position on canvas set at 0, viewport y position on canvas set at 13, and view height set at say 18, the form displays unexpected area when on the web. when on client/server arch. it behaves fine.
I have oracle 9.0.2 for the web application. It is running using ocj4. Please assist. If there is any patch out incase, advise me the right one.
Thanx

Hi,
This has been reported as a bug for Forms 6i and was fixed in a recent patch set. I assume that For,s 9i inherited this problem form 6i. The work around for this issue is to dynamically set x pos of the viewport:
SET_VIEW_PROPERTY('stacked1',VIEWPORT_X_POS_ON_CANVAS,get_view_property('stacked1',VIEWPORT_X_POS_ON_CANVAS));

Corrupt Canvas

Is there any way I can save my canvas without deleting and recreating it? The problem is that I have three canvases. One is content and the others are stacked. Some how I got the first stacked canvas setting on top of the content canvas. I cannot see my first canvas in navigator unless I delete my first stacked canvas. If I changed the first stacked canvas to content then it goes away. I have tied to delete and copy the same canvas from another form that has no stacked canvas. I still get the same results. I don't know how this happened but it is causing others problems with my processing. I guess I don't understand stacked canvases. I was told that if I touch a data block I must continue until something is clear or a go_item is issued for another item in another canvas. If I have an item that is in one block and that item is used to process data in a different block and canvas that I can use a control_block to passed data. What is the proper way to handle stacked canvases? If I have items that are processed in the first block but are shown on the stacked canvas would I need to move those items to the next block or just assigned the values to the control_block and continue processing tried to keep the data blocks and canvases separate but I couldn't get them to display.
I fixed my previous problem but it cause another problem with my previous processing.
I think that if i could fixed the content canvas that my problem might go away. I would appreciate any help.
:-{

Steve,
The stacked canvas is horizontally the same but vertically smaller Have you every seen a stacked canvas on top of the content one? I tried to go into the canvas and highlight the stacked canvas to delete it. It will not allow me to delete it. It appears that it is attached to the content one. I don't know how this happen I need to see the top portion of my content canvas when I am processing items on the stacked canvas. Something like this.
Based on what command I entered, the content canvas displays either with or without
the stacked canvas.
program:_________
Command:________ content canvas
ac_seg:_____
WO_NBr_____ stacked canvas
Repair______
proces clear
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
print clear
It Navigator this is what my content canvas looks like.
However, the stacked canvas looks like this;
ac_seg:_____
WO_NBr_____ stacked canvas
Repair______
proces clear
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
print clear
So the content canvas doesn't suppose to show the stacked canvas on top of
the content canvas in Navigator.
I appreciate any suggestions to fixing my problem.

Background canvas's colour in Forms Builder

In dev 10g, exists a environment variable(registry), where is it possible to set canvas color?
I'll try to explain better:
When you use Layout Wizard: Canvas Page on which you whis lay out your datablock's item,
background is gray for default, I wish set other colour when I create(Builder), not in runtime.
I didn't success to found any info!
Thanks in adavance

background is gray for default
when u open Form builder the default canvas colour is gray as you said earlier
but when u try to open an existing form, Form builders display the actual colour of the canvas set in properties of canvas!
Lets suppose i have a form whos background colour later modufied by me and i set it to Cyan as per ma requirement.
[as per your scenario]
Now if i reopen the form, Form builder applied the default colour so a developer getting confused what the actual colour a canvas had?

Canvas Tab not showing

I'm on Oracle 9i Developer Suite and when I go to one of my forms (web-based), it's a TABBED-based canvas. I have a total of 6 tabs. Each one is based on a different data block tied to a table. One of my tabs doesn't show up. I have a WHEN-TAB-PAGE-CHANGED TRIGGER and it checks to see what tab you clicked on. Based on the name it goes to the datablock and then executes a query to retrieve all the records. On 5 out 6 it works fine. But only 1 (it's the 4th from the beginning). The only triggers I have on the block (same for all 6) are a PRE-UPDATE, and a PRE-INSERT. Connecting to an Oracle 9i database as well viewing through an IE browser.
Any clues?
Thanks,
Gio

Check the obvious: "Enabled" and "Visible" properties of the tab pages of the tab canvas set to Yes?
Any typos in the WHEN-TAB-PAGE-CHANGED trigger?
With the tab page's name do a "Find and replace PL/SQL" to look for code that manipulates the tab page (well you should at least find your WHEN-TAB-PAGE-CHANGED trigger).

Make Brush preset doesn't match canvas angle

Hello!
I'm running a demo version of Photoshop Cs 5 on my brand spanking new Macbook pro 2.3 ghz with 8gb of ramalama.
I work on comics and I create a lot of preset brushes as I go, using an action script. I'll draw a path, and the script witll fill that path with black, make the path a selection and turn it into a brush preset.
Problem is, when I have the canvas rotated, and I make a brush preset, the new brush is not matching the angle the canvas is CURRENTLY rotated at.
For example, if I've rotated the canvas 45 degress clockwise, and create a brush, the brush will be 45 degress sounter clockwise to what I intended.
This is NOT the way CS 4 worked.
Any thoughts?

weird new info:
let me try to calrify again, cuz I know it's odd and difficult to visualize:
lets say im drawing a face and i want to add some feather using a brush pattern:
I create the shape, fill it with black and choose make brush, but it will create the brush canted at the angle in relation to the canvas at zero degress rotation.
Above is my canvas set at zero degrees. All is well.
Above, I've rotated the canvas and used the lasso tool to draw a shape.
Now Ive filled it with black and makingit a brush preset.
In the last image, you can see that the created brush preset was generated as if it had been created at 0 degress to the canvas instead of in relation to the screen! WTF indeed!

Canvas problem FCP4.5

I can't figure out why the picture fills up the viewer (setting is automatically 77%) and is a small picture in the canvas (setting is 50%). The canvas view's next step up is 100% and that is too much which distorts the picture. In the Pro Training tutorial I bought for this program, the picture filled both the viewer and canvas nicely. Did I change a setting somewhere along the line that I can't find?

Unlock canvas in Fireworks CS3?

Is it possible to unlock the canvas so you can pull it around in full window mode like you can in photoshop and illustrator? if i have an object in the upper right corner of my document, I want to be able to drag the whole window to the center of the screen to edit.

yes i understand individual objects can be moved... in photoshop when i have the canvas set to "full window mode" i can pull the canvas around my screen regardless of the canvas size (i believe this is a feature new to cs, you couldn't do it in photoshop 9). in fireworks in "full window mode" i am limited to where i can pull the canvas... for example if i want to pull the far right corner of my canvas to the center of the window, i have to zoom way in.

Canvas setting ?
