Conflict with stacked canvas

I have two stacked canvas A & B on a content canvas C where B has mirrored items of A. Now when am running the form am displayed with only B always. even if i use show_view for A and hide_view for B, the canvas A is not getting displayed.
i tried with set item property and go item but there is no result.
do any one have a gud solution for this.

roberts, my problem is i have mirrored items on B so the populated fields are displaying using those fields on B. so i tried in hidding them at block level like i set their displayed property to false. can u please tell me how can we set the display property to true and where to set the property dynamically??

  • Simple Problem with Stacked Canvas, I hope

    Hello all,
    I am become a bit frustrated with what I thought would be a simple form development solution. I am trying to create a form with a stacked canvas that will display about 20 fields that can be scrolled through. This is the detail
    Total of 25 fields
    5 Fields on the content canvas
    20 Fields on the stacked canvas
    I created the first canvas that originally contained all 25 fields. Then I created the stacked canvas and moved the appropriate fields to the stacked canvas. Using the forms builder editor, I positioned my stacked canvas as such so that it would not overlap the last field on the content canvas or visa versa. This is a form being developed for Oracle EBus. Whenever I run the form in the apps, the stacked canvas is not visible. It only becomes visible when the 1st field on the canvas has focus. When the stacked canvas becomes visible, it shows all of the items of the stacked canvas and not just the ones that I included in the viewpoint. Once I tab through the last field of the stacked canvas, it goes back to the first field on the content canvas and the stacked canvas disappears. At this point I am not doing anything complicated, but for whatever reason this just is NOT working. Any advice anyone can provide, I would very much appreciate it. This is VERY frustrating.
    Thank you in advance.

    Step No. 1
    Set the STACKED CANVAS's property VIEWPORT WIDTH AND VIEWPORT HEIGHT
    This property determines what viewable width and height of the stacked canvas at runtime.
    Set SHOW HORIZONTAL SCROLL BAR or SHOW VERTICAL SCROLL BAR or BOTH as YES so that you can scroll down to view all the items in the CANVAS.
    Step NO.2
    In your WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger, write the code to make the canvas visible
    SHOW_VIEW('stack_canvas_name');

  • Problem with Stacked Canvas

    Hi,
    I have prepared a stacked canvas on a content canvas.
    Both content and stacked canvas are based on the same data block. In the data block 2 items are on content canvas and the remaining are on stacked canvas. I have also a scroll bar on the content canvas so that we can scroll to the right as there are many items on it.
    so 1st and 2nd fields are on the content canvas and remaining ones are on stacked canvas.when i tab out of the 1st field stacked canvas goes invisible, but when i tab out of the 2nd field stacked canvas again comes back.
    How can i avoid this?
    I want the stacked canvas always to be displayed when i tab out from any where.
    One more problem is, when i click on the 2nd field the stacked canvas goes invisible too
    Your suggestions are greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Sandeep

    Check if the second item overlaps the area of the stacked canvas. Forms always makes the current item be displayed fully and therefore hides all areas which would overlap the item.

  • Calling content canvas with stacked canvas

    Hi.
    i have a content canvas in that i have a linked stacked canvas...
    from some other screen if i call content canvas by show_view('Content canvas') i am only getting the content canvas. but i am not getting the linked stacked canvas. weather it is correct ,or not . if i want to see the stacked canvas on content canvas ,i nee to call the stacked canvas too?.
    please clearify me..
    thanks in advance.
    vijay.

    Normally, it is not required to explicitely call a show_view on a stacked canvas.
    In Object Navigator, assure that the stacked canvas (in terms of a sequence) is below the content canvas.
    If the stacked canvas is still not shown issue a GO_BLOCK() and / or GO_ITEM() e.g. in the WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE Trigger
    to the block having at least on item on the stacked canvas to be displayed.
    In doing so, you must assure that at least one item on the block (having the stacked canvas assigned) is able to receive
    the focus (is enabled and it might be required to set the keyboard navigable property (not sure about that)).
    Due to the internal navigation of oracle forms, the canvas should get displayed when an item on the canvas receives the focus

  • Main canvas with stacked canvas

    Hi,
    I have to modify a form in which i have a main canvas which should have 2 stacked canvas,
    in the layout i can see the two stacked canvas but when i ran the form, i see only one stacked canvas,
    do you have any idea on the root cause?
    Thank you and any help will be appreciated.

    ...in the layout i can see the two stacked canvas but when i ran the form, i see only one stacked canvas,do you have any idea on the root cause?>
    If you want both stacked canvases to be visible, you have to explicitly display them using the SHOW_VIEW('CANVAS_NAME') built-in. Yes, Forms will typically display the canvas an item is assigned to then navigation to the item occurs, but it is sloppy programming to rely on this.
    Hope this helps,
    Craig B-)

  • Stacked canvas appearing over content canvas by default

    Hi Guys,
    I have a Main content canvas and a stacked canvas. Both are having common single window attached to them window type is Document.
    When I launch this form then main content canvas is displayed but with stacked canvas on top of it.
    Control is in main content canvas but stacked canvas is over main content canvas.
    This stacked canvas should appear after some action like list change or button push which are on main content canvas.
    I have checked there is no go_item call for any objects on this stacked canvas.
    I have tried with commenting the code which shows canvas (show_view), still the stacked canvas appears on top of content canvas.
    Can anyone guide me on this?
    Thanks,
    Av.

    change the visible property of stack canvas to no and
    when u want to display that canvas,,
    use GO_ITEM(to send to any item in stack canvas)...
    and to hide use HIDE_VIEW('your canvas name');
    and be sure when u running the form, your cursor wont go to stack canvas items... because when the cursor goes there, the canvas will appear..

  • Stacked canvas with horizontal scrollbar

    Hi,
    In a forms module I want to show a stacked canvas with a horizontal scrollbar. I have set the generator preference POPHSB on every level to yes, but the stacked canvas is still generated without scrollbar. In the Designer help topic "Generated stacked canvas properties" it is stated that the properties horizontal/vertical scrollbar is derived from the object library. But how can I set in Designer the name of an object library object for a stacked canvas? I don't want to override the object CGSO$CANVAS_POPUP because I also have other stacked canvases that doesn't need scrollbars.
    Regards,
    Vincent Botteman

    Hi,
    This is what I just have found: you must indeed create a new canvas object in the object library and then enter the name of the new canvas object in the property "Placement Template/Library Obj" of the first Module component on that canvas! Apparently, you can change the canvas by means of the first Module Component on that canvas.

  • Stacked Canvas with one block displaying twice

    I have a question regarding the Stacked Canvas. I have to create a calender for clients. (I am using stacked canvas to do that).
    In the 'calender' table i would have the information like ClientID, Year, weekno, start date, end date.
    So i created two blocks for 'Calender' table in this form. One block for Content canvas with ClientID and Year (Block1). And another block (Block2) on Stacked canvas for weekno, startdate and enddate.(normally there will be 52 weeks sometime 53 weeks)
    On the Block1 it suppose to display the ClientID and Year once. And in the block2 (stacked canvas) it suppose to display 53 rows with weekno and the start/end dates.
    When i create a new row in the block1 for clientid and year (1234, 2008) then the block2 will be populated with 01-jan-2008 to the 31-dec-2008. But the problem i am having is when i try to save it is trying to save two times one from block1 and once from block2 resulting in a unique constraint error.
    how should i structure this so it saves only once?
    I tried to keep the clientid and the year in block1 as non-database items and copied those values into the block2, that way it saves correctly but when i try to query on the upper block it gives me error.

    But you only have one table. You need two tables for master-detail. Can you normalize the calendar table and change it to two tables (master-detail).
    See
    Re: regarding display of records in header and line level
    Gerd offers a solution for two blocks and one table. Maybe that will work for you.

  • Problem with generating stacked canvas in Designer 6i

    When I try to generate a master detail form, in which the detail block is placed on a 'new stacked canvas' the form is generated as expected: master- and detailblock are both created, but when running the form
    the detail block is somehow made invisible. I don't understand!!!
    Does anyone recognize this problem????
    Hope to hear from you!
    Alex

    Hello,
    When you put a block on a "new stacked canvas" that canvas is generated as a popup canvas. If that popup overlaps with some other generated items (for instance: items in master block) Forms will not show it.
    You can try showing that popup canvas programatically with Show_View('canvas_name') in When-New-Form-Instance and see what happens.
    Dalibor
    P.S. Why do you have to put detail block on a popup canvas? Why don't you simply put it on a "same content canvas"?

  • Stacked Canvas with Title Bar

  • How to remove the black line from a stacked canvas at run time???

    Hi All,
    I've developed a stacked canvas within a content canvas, when I run the form the stacked canvas apeared with a black line takes it.
    How to remove this line or how to disappear this line at run time??
    I tried to do this by putting (no line) in tools palette to the line color tool after selecting the black line one and after selecting the stacked canvas another once, but this did not resolve the problem!
    I need something else:
    I put the stacked canvas at detail data block and it didn't appear since I execute query in master data block
    How to appear the stacked canvas directly before executing query in master data block???

    Hi,
    u mean the border line? In stacked canvas property, select contour/outline and set it to none.
    Make sure, the stacked canvas is behind the content canvas in the objectnavigator. Then check your
    properties of the stacked canvas:
    - Position on content canvas
    - size
    - size of clipping
    Set stacked canvas property automatic visible to yes.
    Make sure the stacked canvas is not overlayed by other stacked canvas or items.

  • Stacked Canvas issue

    1st issue:-
    I have created 3 pages layout under same .fmb
    Out of those , page1 I have made in content canvas & 2 layout(Say page2 & page3) I have made in two different stack canvas.Page1 contain two text field- 1.NAME 2. PROFILE CODE.
    when user open it page1 (content canvas) & page2 (1st stack canvas) should show .For a specific value in PROFILE CODE (say JAPAN) profile code (page1+page3) should open.& for all other profile codes (page 1+page2) should remain,irrespective of whatever value in NAME.
    Please tell me how can I do this??
    1. Please help me with a sample code & also where (in which trigger) I should write the condition.
    2. What all changes are required in property palette?
    3. will both the canvas will be on the same window?
    2nd issue:-
    I have tried
    In the Object Navigator, under the Canvases node, double-click the content canvas' object icon. In the Layout Editor, choose View | Stacked Views.
    and could see both the page1+page2 there from layout editor.
    BUT while I run it its showing only the page1(content canvas)
    Please help me out.....
    Thanks in advance..
    Edited by: 977083 on Dec 29, 2012 5:09 AM

    If I put it like this In WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger check the PROFILE CODE and display the stacked canvas based on the value in PROFILE CODE---
    Then content canvas will be shown first(Page1) ,then user will select profile code, depending upon the profile code selected ,either page2 (stacked canvas) or page3(stacked canvas) will be shown.
    But I want whenever user opening the form ,page1 & page2 should show by default.then user will select profile code.if profile code is for page2 ,it should stay in that (default) page only.If profile code is for page3 then it will automatically go to page3 along with page1.

  • Stacked Canvas Problem in oracle 6i form builder

    Hello,
    i have 2 content canvas "DTL and PUNCH",1 tab,1 horizontal canvas in window1 and 1 another content canvas "parameter" in window2.
    i have created a stacked canvas under dtl canvas because
    I have a master-details form. my details has more columns so im planing to use stack canvas.
    but at run time it is not displaying?
    please help me regarding that?
    Thanks
    With Regards
    Vishal Agrawal

    hello,
    then you should set viewport x and y position of stack canvas below the height of button in DTL block.
    means If button y position = 170 then
    viewport position of x = 5,
    viewport position of Y = (y position of button + height of button+5) . (for Stack canvas)
    Same way,
    If stack canvas height = 270 then
    viewport position of x = 5,
    viewport position of Y = (viewport position of Y of stack canvas + height of stack canvas+5) . (for Tab canvas)

  • Stacked canvas view placed on the content canvas

    Hi to all,
    i am developed a one form ,i.e placed the stacked canvas view on the content convas.
    i create a two data block's with same table.
    one data block for content canvas and one for stacked canvas.
    in the content canvas i taken two fileds with scroll bar and remaining fields placed on the stacked canvas.
    these stacked canvas view put on the content canvas.it dispalying and
    executed succesfully.
    here i am getting one problem i am displying the 10 records at a time in both canvases.my requirment is placed on the
    cursor on the content canvas particular record scroll down then automatically show the same record details in stacked canvas and
    content canvas scroll bar is changed automatically stacked canvas scroll bar is changed.
    any one help me.........

    {quotei create a two data block's with same table.
    one data block for content canvas and one for stacked canvas.{quote}
    This is not necessary. Just create one data block and then assign the block items to your Content and Stacked canvases. You can display items in a data block on different canvases. By doing this, there is no need to write code to synchronize the records because they are part of the same data block so they will automatically scroll as you navigate through your records.

  • Tab Canvas displaying Stacked Canvas at runtime disappears?

    Hi,
    I have 3 canvases that contain the following:
    1) Content Canvas -- This contains the TREE item.
    2) Tab Canvas -- A tab canvas with a single Tab Page
    3) Stacked Canvas -- This is a Stack Canvas with a few
    text items on it.
    4) Single Window.
    ======At runtime the following actions occur: ==========
    1) The Viewport of the stacked canvas is set to the
    Viewport of the Tab Page on the Tab Canvas so that it
    looks like the Tab Page has a vertical and horizontal
    scrollbar with text items displayed.
    2) A text item on the Stacked Canvas is in focus as soon
    the as the form window is displayed.
    ===================Problem is : =====================
    1) When I select a Node of the Tree Item, the Tab Canvas
    automatically disappears(or becomes invisible) , as a
    result the stacked canvas displayed within it at
    runtime also becomes invisible. I am left with only
    the Tree item being displayed.
    =======================================================
    PS : I have never experienced this problem with just the
    content canvas and the Tab Canvas together.
    Any soultion to this problem is most appreciated.
    Thanks
    Sharath

    I am experiencing the exact same thing. The width of the tabs in the layout editor is varied depending on the length of the text. However, at run-time, the width of the tabs is fixed, causing the tabs to be wider than the window and a set of VCR buttons to appear in the upper right corner of the canvas. Personally, I think this is a Forms bug. Why would they intentionally let us set the width to variable at design-time only to force a fixed width at run-time?
