How to use a custom.dll in forms 6i

Hi,
i have made a small dll using a icon-making software, that software has made a .dll of the icon I made in that software
Now i want to use that .dll in my forms 6i. (client/server)
the dll contains only one icon named 'Icon1'
would any one please tell me how can I call that icon in that .dll to view in my forms button at run time..
is this possible..??
just for clarification, for security reasons I am not using the .ico of that icon diect from hardisk in my button thats why i made a .dll of that so that the user may not be able copy my icon
thanks in advance,

Here is the doc
Doc ID:      Note:99824.1
Subject:      How to Display User-Defined Cursors and Icons in Forms
Type:      BULLETIN
Status:      PUBLISHED
     Content Type:      TEXT/X-HTML
Creation Date:      23-FEB-2000
Last Revision Date:      30-OCT-2002
PURPOSE
The purpose of this note is to explain how to display customized
cursors and icons in Forms 6.0 on Windows platform (32 bits).
Assumption is made that resources are stored in a DLL, which is
available in the path at runtime.
It is mandatory to store the cursor in a DLL to make it available
with Forms: .cur cursor files cannot be directly loaded from the
file system.
On the other hand, icons .cio files can directly be read from the
filesystem by Forms Runtime. However we will focus on icons which are
stored in a DLL.
The article is divided into two main parts:
- how to build a resource-only DLL with Visual C++ 5.0
- how to display the cursor and the icon in Forms 6.0
SCOPE & APPLICATION
The intended audience needs to have basic knowledge in Forms Builder
and also in Visual C++ (or any other Win32 compiler).
A typical environment is Forms 6.0, Visual C++ 5.0 and Windows NT.
WHAT IS A RESOURCE ?
A resource can be considered as some extra binary information that can
be added to an executable file. Windows resources are for example icons,
cursors, menus, dialog boxes, keyboard-accelerator tables and much more.
Resources are usually stored in a .rc file, which is compiled by the
resource compiler in order to provide a .res file. These compiled resources
can then be appended to a binary executable file or a DLL.
For instance, Visual C++ 5.0 includes a resource editor which allows you to
draw your icons and your cursors, and store them in a resource file.
Part I - BUILDING A RESOURCE-ONLY DLL
Consider the following setup:
- myicon.ico: icon file
- mycur.cur: cursor file
The objective of this section is to build a DLL called proj.dll which
contains both the icon and the cursor. This operation requires several steps.
Step 1: Create a project
In Visual C++, select menu File->New... In the dialog box, choose the Projects
tab and pick "Win32 Dynamic Link-Library". Fill the project name (e.g. Proj)
and the location (e.g. c:\MyProjects). Check 'Create new workspace', check
Win32 as target platform and click on OK.
This creates a directory c:\MyProjects\Proj, where necessary .rc and .cpp
files can be stored. Place the .ico and .cur files in this directory too.
Step 2: Add a resource file to the project
Create a proj.rc file, edit it and make sure it contains the following lines:
testcur CURSOR DISCARDABLE "mycur.cur"
testico ICON DISCARDABLE "myicon.ico"
This is the resource file. Using the Project->Add to Project->Files... menu,
select the proj.rc file and add it to the current project.
Step 3: Add a dummy C++ file to the project
Create a proj.cpp file, edit it and make sure it contains the following lines:
#include <windows.h>
extern "C"
BOOL WINAPI DllMain (HINSTANCE hInstance, DWORD dwReason, LPVOID)
     return 1;
This creates an entry-point in the DLL. This function does nothing but is mandatory
to have a DLL after the build of the project.
Add the proj.cpp file to the project as described in Step 2.
Step 4: Choose the target type
At this moment, you can choose if you need a 'DEBUG' or a 'RELEASE' flavour of
the DLL. As there is not much to debug in this DLL, the 'RELEASE' flavour is
recommended. Furthermore, it is much more compact.
Using the Build->Set Active Configuration... menu, choose the Proj - Win32 Release
as the active configuration.
Step 5: Build the DLL
Now, it is time to compile the resource file, compile the C++ file, link both
together and build the proj.dll DLL. This operation is performed by using the
Build->Rebuild All menu.
After a short time, you should see "Proj.dll - 0 error(s), 0 warning(s)" in
the Visual C++ message window. This means that the DLL was built successfully.
Step 6: Place the DLL in the appropriate directory
The proj.dll file is currently located under the c:\MyProjects\Proj\Release
directory. Copy it in an appropriate directory which is reachable in the
runtime environment path.
Part II - USING THE ICON AND CURSOR IN THE FORM
At this stage the DLL is created and can be used in the Form application.
Again, this is a multi-step procedure.
Step 1: Load the DLL in the Forms Runtime environment
Assuming the proj.dll DLL is placed in a directory pointed by the
PATH environment variable, below is the piece of PL/SQL code which loads
the DLL into the Forms Runtime environment. This code can be placed in the
WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger for example:
declare
     hDLL     ORA_FFI.LIBHANDLETYPE;
begin break;
     --Preload the DLL so the cursor and Icons can be found.
     -- I'm assuming the DLL is in the path here
     hDLL := ORA_FFI.LOAD_LIBRARY(NULL,'proj.dll');
exception
     when ORA_FFI.FFI_ERROR then
          for i in 1..TOOL_ERR.NERRORS LOOP
               message(TOOL_ERR.MESSAGE(i));
          end LOOP;
end;
Step 2: Display the cursor stored in the DLL
Now, you may want to change the cursor when the user clicks on
a specific button. This is an example of code that could be set
in the WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger:
set_application_property(CURSOR_STYLE,'<proj>TESTCUR');
<proj> refers to the proj.dll. Please note the < and > signs
which are mandatory there. TESTCUR is the name of the cursor resource
as defined in the proj.rc file.
Step 3: Display the icon stored in the DLL
You may also want to change the icon of an iconic button after
some specific end-user action. The appropriate code for that is:
set_item_property('IBUTTON',ICON_NAME,'<proj>TESTICO');
IBUTTON is a PushButton, with the Iconic property set to Yes.
TESTICO is the name of the icon resource as defined in the proj.rc file.

Accessing custom dll from Servlet

Hello,
I am trying to load a custom dll in iWS4.1SP9 but I seem no able to find the dll.
Where do I have to place it on the system? I have placed it in WinNt/system32 dir but still could not find it.
I was sucessful in loading the dll when running as a stand-alone app. What is the difference?
Thanks,
Nuri

Hi !
In your code i think there is a simple mistake in creating the IntialContext
for example:
public Context getInitialContext() throws NamingException
          try{
               System.out.println("url received here is "+url);
               Hashtable ht= new Hashtable();
               ht.put("java.naming.factory.initial", "weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory");
               ht.put("java.naming.provider.url", url);
               //return new InitialContext(hashtable);
               return new InitialContext(ht);
          catch(NamingException namingexception)
               Debug.log("We were unable to get a connection to the WebLogic server at " + url);
Debug.log("Please make sure that the server is running.");
return null;
This intial context is dependent on Application Servers,where exactly placing your EJB's.
In general....
Properties prop=System.getProperties();
prop.put....
IntialContext context=new IntialContext(prop);
Like this it should be....
I hope this will solve your problem,

Custom Master Detail form not working In EBS

Custom Master Detail form not working In EBS
Hi all,
I have two custom tables -- 1) XXX_DIE_Headers
2) XXX_DIE_LINES
I developed a Master Detail form based on above tables. XXX_DIE_Headers is the Master Block (Single record) & XXX_DIE_LINES is the detail block ( Multi line block ).
Yes, I used Appstand,Template.fmb for developing this form. The Master block has three fields out of which Two are required fields and i have given initial value for them.
As i deployed it in APPS(EBS),everything about it is working fine (insert,delete,master-detail behaviour) except querying.
When i press F-11 , It pops up a message "Do you want to save changes you have made" Choice - yes,no,cancel.
I don't want this message to pop up.
The scenario is :- I open the form.( without entering ) Press F11 . The message Pops up.
Please give me suggession on how to work it around so as form directly goes to query mode ,without popping the message.
regards
ravi

It seems that you are changing a database value in your form, do you have any changes in WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE???
what the form is trying to tell you that you have changed something, do you want to save it?
I suggest you debug your form and see what's happening step by step.

How to use a variable value set from custom dll in dataset

Hi,
I've inherited a SSRS report that I need to add some functionality to. I'm setting a variable, ADAuthorizations, from a custom dll
ADAuthorizations is a string of all AD groups a user is a member of and I need to use this as a filter in a dataset. I've tried using this variable as shown in the query below but I'm getting an error "The expression used for the parameter 'Unit_Permissions"
in the dataset "Unit_Permissions" includes a variable reference. Variable values cannot be used in query parameter expressions." Is there another way I should go about doing this?
= "SELECT UnitCode, UnitName " &
"FROM dbo.VW_Unit_Permissions " &
"WHERE UserId in (" & Variables!ADAuthorizations.Value & ")" &
"ORDER BY UnitName "
Thanks,
Robert

Please follow below steps,
1. Create a custom code to get all the users in an array,
Public Function getUserName() As String()
   dim Users(1) as string
   Users(0) = "user1"
   Users(1) = "user2"
return Users
End Function
2. Create dataset using the below query,
SELECT UnitCode, UnitName FROM dbo.VW_Unit_Permissions ORDER BY UnitName
3. Add a parameter @User and set properties : (Datatype as text, Allow multiple values, Visible)
Under "Available Values" select specify values and set the label and values as expression.
=Code.getUserName()
4. Similarly for "Default values" as
=Code.getUserName()
5. Go to tablix properties and select the filter tab and set the properties as below,
- Select Expression "UserId" i.e =Fields!UserId.Value
- Operator as "IN"
- Value as =Parameters!User.Value
6. Preview the report.

Custom New/Edit Forms not mobile supported

Hi All - I have created custom New/Edit Form in SPD. When I am trying to browse these in mobile view - It is giving error: The following error is not mobile supported: /lists/<listname>/<customnewform.aspx>
In PC view it opens the same URL properly with no issues.
Also,
In mobile view - When click on New Item opens Default OOTB New/Edit Forms and not the custom forms.
In PC View - Since I set CustomNew/EditForm as default. Click on New Item opens Custom forms.
How can I set the default - my custom form for mobile view?
Please suggest.

Khushi

Hi Khushi,
SharePoint will detect the device you are using to access SharePoint site and determine the view it displays. By default, you are using mobile view in a mobile device.
On mobile device, please go to site settings > switch to PC views, see if custom list view works.
If it works, we could disable mobile view by executing command :
disable-spfeature -identity MobilityRedirect -url
http://sp/sites/sitename
More options to deactivate mobile view:

HTML5 DOCTYPE in custom WPC web form

Hello,
we are implementing a custom WPC web form along following SAP documentation:
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-22253
The new web form incorporates JS-Scripts from an open source project (Galleria.io).
However, this JS-Application requires a HTML5 DOCTYPE, which needs to bedefined in the root of an HTML document. At runtime of the web form the HTML5 DOCTYPE is missing and the JS-Application is not properly running.
I found following SAP note "1713259 - PRT support for HTML5 doctype" which focuses on this topic. It mentions two possible options:
- Enable HTML5 DOCTYPE for entire portal environment,
- ... or enable HTML5 DOCTYPE only for custom portal applications.
However we only want to enable HTML5 DOCTYPE for the WPC component runtime.
Is there any option to enable this via configuration in WPC... or any other ideas?
Best regards
Mario

Hi Mario!
You could personalize your form adding this at the begining of your XLST WPC:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"> 
Also, you could set in your base iview portal template the document browser mode:
Browser Document Mode – How to set the IE Compatibility View from server side.
This forces use a determinated browser in portal.
Hope this helps,
Kind regards!

Customizing Workflow and Forms

Hi
I have a Approval Workflow with 3 outcomes: Approve: Revise and Reject. I added another outcome such as Revise.
I find by default on one Approval Form in the Workflow using SPD. I need to add another Form which will send back the Comments to the Initiator to Revise the form and resend it back to the Approver.
Kindly let me know for any pointers.
Thanks
Regards

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to create an form to get the users’ comments for the initiator approval.
Per my knowledge, it’s by design that we can’t directly modify the approval task form in SharePoint 2013.
As a workaround, you can create a new task content type to apply it to the task process action in SharePoint workflow.
Also, you can try to create a new list to add user information and custom the list form, create a SharePoint 2013 Approval Workflow for this new list to assign the tasks to the corresponding users, then you can get their corresponding users’ comments for
the initiator approval.
For more information, you can refer to:

Way of customizing oracle forums without custom.pll and form personalizatio

HI,
I know that form customization is done thru custom.pll and form personalization.what about customization of events which are not found in custom.pll.how can we take care of those events.

You will have to modify the specific trigger inside the original fmb, and with every patch, redo your changes again. But i don't think thats supported by oracle (maybe you get a more detailed answer in the eBusiness-forums OA Framework )

Customized Bulk Action Form

I saw that there are multiple unanswered questions about this, so I am assuming the answer is no but wanted to give it a shot. Is there any way to customize the Bulk Action form besides building an entirely different workflow? For example, I want to remove certain fields and add a checkbox which would save a variable into the workflow. I see bulkop.jsp, which instantiates BulkOpForm, so I gather it's not a form that can be modified. Is there maybe a point where I could merge into the standard bulk process after giving my own frontend? I'd rather not resort to reimplementing the file parsing and all that.

If bulk action is launched by user who has 'Customer - Tabbed User Form' as User Form, this form will be applied
You can specify at your form what workflow to launch. Just add field
<Field name='viewOptions.Process'>
<Expansion>
<s>Customer - Update Workflow</s>
</Expansion>
</Field>
