NO image on iconic button in Forms Builder

Hello,
I'm using Oracle Forms [32 Bit] Version 9.0.4.0.19.
When I open any .fmb file I dont see any image on iconic buttons.
All my .gif files are in .jar
Is there any way to fix that?

The Builder cannot read jar files. Also, only gif, jpg, and ico files are supported for the 9.0.4 and newer Builder. In order to have the Builder find them, you need to set the following environment variables (usually in the Registry):
UI_ICON=<some path to the images>
UI_ICON_EXTENSION=<the file format extension - like gif>
Note that this only applies to seeing the images in the Builder Layout Editor and has nothing to do with a running form.

Actions menu wheel image and Go button image

Hello ,
In APEX 4 Interactive Reports, the actions menu wheel image and the go button are coming as html buttons instead of the wheel image and go button image.
Is there a way I can rever to the old wheel img and go button .
Thanks,
Dippy

Within the IR, under Search Bar, you can set Actions Menu Image to '/i/ws/action_32x24.gif' - this is the green wheel but does not have little arrow. I will contact our image guru and see if the old one is sitting somewhere. As for 'Go', this does not support an image but you can change the word if you need to (using Search Button Label) and set a button template to match your application.

Forms Server 6i and iconic buttons

Hi,
I've seen this problem on the discussion boards here, and have followed instructions given, but i still cant get my forms to display iconic buttons. I have converted all my icons to .gif and they seem to be fine.
My wdbsvr.cfg file contains this dirmap for the location of the icon gifs: "C:\ORANT\webdb\images /images/"
and in the registry.dat for forms server i have
default.icons.iconpath=http://rocko/images/
default.icons.iconextension=gif
and in my forms app, I put the icons as "myicon" (without the quotes)
If put http://rocko/images/myicon.gif i get the icon i want. Everything SEEMS to be configured properly, yet I still dont see any icons. I'm using the latest version of JInitiator, in a separate frame. Can anyone see what i'm doing wrong, or give me any help? Please say yes!! :)
thank you

Hi,
i think u might need to go to JInitiator and check Show Java Console(This will show u all the
Directories and files Forms 6i reads at the time of execution).
Try accessing your form on Browser, u might need to check, does it really reads below directory where u have u'r gif files
C:\ORANT\webdb\images /images/
May this helps u,

How to put iconic button in forms 10g?

Hi All,
I've created a button with iconic property set to yes and icon file set to open. in forms 10g
But when I run the form, the button appeared without the open icon show!

In webforms, you have to put your icons in a jar file and put the jar file in a directory where Java can read from. the easiest place to put the jar file is the %ORACLE_HOME%/forms/java directory found in your Oracle installation directory
for instance if you have your devsuite installed in C:\devsuite10g put the jar file in C:\devsuite\forms\java.
check out [url http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/webicons.pdf]Webicons it has both detailed steps to deploy icons in webforms and an easy and fast way to do it.

How to create iconic buttons in forms 10g.

I am trying to create a iconic buttons, same I am able to do it in forms 6i but not in 10g. And also please give me a proper example of java bean items in forms 10g

dear sunny
are u able to do the iconic button on 10g forms i try but appear the icon on button I have alreay do the following
Runtime Configuration
1) Creating Jar file
i) Once you are ready with your GIF files or JPG files, create a folder called ICONS. You can create this folder anywhere. For e.g. you can create ICONS folder on a C drive under root directory or as a sub-folder under any folder.
ii) Assuming you have created ICONS folder as a root folder on C drive, now copy all your GIF files in this folder.
iii) Go to the DOS prompt and enter cd\
iv) At C:\ prompt enter the following command to create Java Archive File (JAR) called my_icons
Jar ?cvf my_icons.jar icons
(Note: If above command don't run then paste icons foled at C:\DevSuiteHome_1\jdk\bin.)
v) Copy this file in <Forms10g_Home>\Forms\Java folder.
Please remember that having the name of the folder holding GIF/JPG files as ICONS is very important. Because if the folder name is something else, icons will not be displayed in your form at run time.
2) Modify REGISTRY.DAT file
i) Open this file located in <Forms10g_Home>\forms\java\oracle\forms\registry folder.
ii) Append the existing parameter default.icons.iconpath as follows:
default.icons.iconpath=icons/
iii) If you are going to use GIF files as image files for icons, then leave the existing parameter default.icons.iconextension=gif as it is. If you want to use JPG files instead of GIF files, replace GIF with JPG as shown below:
default.icons.iconextension=jpg
3) Modify FORMSWEB.CFG file
This file exists under <Forms10g_Home>\Forms\Server folder.
Append the following existing parameters:
i) imagebase=codebase
ii) archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jar,frmwebutil.jar,jacob .jar,my_icons.jar
After doing above configurations, create a form and place an icon on the button. Set button's icon property = Yes and give name of icon.
NOTE: This icon shoul be in jar file. If u want to add more icons in jar file then u will have to create JAR file again. Also again place it in <Forms10g_Home>\Forms\Java folder.
pls if u have any solution send me

How do I display Canvas Graphic image (Not Iconic button) from jar file

Hi all,
I am currently using Forms 10g.
I have gone through the tutorials on how to add Button Icons into Jar files for web enables forms .....so far so good
This however does not explain what I actually want to do... since "graphic images are by nature embeded in the for rather than referenced ......so here goes ..
I have a forms 10g application where all the individual form modules/canvases display a big banner (covering top 20% of the screen). This was done by importing the image straight unto the content canvases. As you know this now becomes a "graphic Image" now embeded(& not referenced by file name) on the canvas. Also bear in mind that this is actually different from an "Image Item" which is a block object.
I dont know if this is possible, but what steps do i follow to make the image part of a jar file as opposed to my current situation. Please let me know if possible or not so I stop waisting development time looking for answers :)
Another question is how do i make this jar file a library object so that we can vary the image as we wish
NB: one other trick which i can think of is to create a giant push button across the screen to display the image and then stick it in a jar file !
Cheers
css_jay99

I don't know about embedded images imported in from the builder, but there is a way to use READ_IMAGE_FILE into a BLOCK.IMAGE_ITEM where the images are all in a jar file stored on the OAS.
Metalink Note:137397.1 explains it in details.

Storing images and icons in a JAR file

Hi,
I current have a JAR file to store our application icons in the GIF format. The application also uses several images which I would prefer to be stored in the JAR file as JPG files.
Is it possible to store both GIFs and JPGs in a JAR and access them from Forms?
For Example:
I am using code like:
read_image_file('mess_bold.jpg','URL','IM_BOLD');
and I have this image file in the JAR but I get the error...
Unable to load image mess_bold.jpg for Image Item
Also the Apache log shows...
File does not exist: c:/oracle/frhome_1/forms/java/icons/mess_bold.jpg.gif
Is this a config problem? I noticed that the read_image_file call looks in the icons directory which I specify in my Registry.dat file. Do the settings for default.icons.iconpath and default.icons.iconextension apply to images as well?
Thank you in anticipation.
Regards,
Tom Casserly

Hi,
I already had the entry imageBase=codebase in my formsweb.cfg
According to this article it is possible to read images from the JAR using the 'URL' parameter see
https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/f?p=130:14:2109110130595761322::::p14_database_id,p14_docid,p14_show_header,p14_show_help,p14_black_frame,p14_font:NOT,137397.1,1,1,1,helvetica
I have managed to get the images loading from the JAR but only if I have them in the same directory and format (ie gif) as the icons. As I suggested above I think that read_image_file must be accessing the default.icons.iconpath=icons/ default.icons.iconextension=gif from my Registry.dat file.
There is also a slight problem that you cannot seem to use read_image_file in the WNFI or PF trigger as suggested here: Re: Read images from a jar file?
Has anyone managed to access images from a JAR in JPEG format alongside GIF icons?
Thanks for you help.

Customizing the text of next,back, and submit buttons in form guides

Hi,
We are preparing some forms in Turkish language. So, we need to change the text of next, back and submit buttons in the form guides. Is this possible? If so, how? Thanks for your help.

This can be done via Flex Builder. There is a good Next panel button example in this guide:http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/es/fggettingstarted.pdf. I believe you can also control the text via the style sheet applied to the guide.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<mx:Button click="{panels.selectedIndex++}"
enabled="{panels.selectedIndex < panels.length-1}"
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">

<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import ga.views.PanelListView;
private var panels:PanelListView = PanelListView.instance;
]]>
</mx:Script>
</mx:Button>

Drop down and ratio buttons in forms

Forms would be incredible whit dropdown menus as ratio/check buttons. I miss this feature a lot and must use jotform sometimes. Native dropdowns and ratio/check buttons is best.

Hi Mahesh,
You need to create an object of type CL_SALV_WD_UIE_DROPDOWN_BY_KEY, which is the UI element for dropdown by key, and set that to be your individual cell editor.
For whichever column you want a dropdown box, use the method set_cell_editor to make the editor as a dropdown box
Drop down in alv..
Drop down by key in Editable ALV
Drop down in ALV for Webdynpro ABAP
OVS for ALV is similar to implementing OVS for normal tables. Declare the component usage of OVS at the component level and in your view that contains the ALV table. Implement the event handler.
go through this..
ALV OVS

Kris.

Change images and graphic button

hi experts
i'd like to know, by the se80, how is possible to change the standard images of SRM 3.0 and also its standard buttons...i'd like to give to the system a "custom look".
Thanks
andrea

hi,
if you would like to change the login page, this is no longer on the template possible. Please use
HTM_LOGIN in class CL_SRM_ICF_BASIC_LOGIN. See OSS note 778488.
You must upload new image in se80 -> internet services -> bbpglobal into MIMES,
then go to eg. login.html and change sap image to yours.
(don't forget to publish services after upload)

Icons in 10g forms

Hi Everybody..
I want display iconic buttons in forms 10g.... I've searched this forum and read webicons.pdf as well. I followed the speciifed steps, but it doesn't work
I followed following steps.
1. created jar file for my .jpg files
2. added jar file to orahome\forms\java
3. added the jar file name to formsweb.cfg
4. changed imagebase=codebase
5. jar file loaded successfully as shown in java console....
But Icon not displayed on button
Anybody plz help
Regards

Hi,
The default format for icons is gif. You will need to change your [orahome]\forms\java\oracle\forms\Registry.dat
default.icons.iconpath=
default.icons.iconextension=jpgThis will change the default format. If you want to change it for a specific Named Configuration within your formsweb.cfg then create a [serverApp].dat file in the same directory and replace "default" with [serverApp]. Use iconpath if you have any internal directory structure within your jar file eg /icons.
