Display Hint Text in Oracle Forms 6i at Text Item

Dear all seniors
I want to show Hint text at Text Item in Oracle Forms 6i.
when my cursor Focus goes at that item. I mean when I go with Tab key or Enter button then it show display text.
even though my mouse is not on that item.
please how it would be possible
thanks.
G.Y

Please create a display_item(for eg. Disp_Mess) just below the text field (For eg:-MyField) where you want to show hint. And then assighn Hint text to "DISP_MESS" in NEW-FORM-INSTANCE or at Initial value. Then create a PRE-TEXT-ITEM and POST-TEXT-ITEM trigger for MyField.
-- PRE-TEXT-ITEM trigger write following code.
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('DISP_MESS',VISIBLE,PROPERTY_TRUE);
--POST-TEXT-ITEM write following code.
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('DISP_MESS',VISIBLE,PROPERTY_FALSE);
It will work for you.

    So you could download your stored document onto the AS or the client with the Webutil FILE_TRANSFERT package, or you could envisage top develop
    a nice PL/SQL procedure that would send the content via the UTL_HTTP package.

  • How to hide the display of  my text in oracle forms

    Oracle Forms 6i
    Hai All
    My question is how to disable my Text.
    I have created a forms for weight management here when the user opens the forms I dont want to show my text and textitem before filling some fields.
    I have have set the text item by Set_item_property display False and how can set the text display false
    Thanks & Regards
    srikkanth.M

    You cannot do any operation on forms label
    other way is to use non-database Display items to show you text.... or if you are looking to hide the prompts of text fields then you can set it to null or hide the text item completely

  • Displaying TIFF images in Oracle Forms 6i

    Hello, friends!
    I am working in Oracle Forms 6.0.8 (that ancient tool) and encounter a problem with displaying TIFF images.
    I have a number of scanned images and some of them are displayed and some are not. I've tried both extracting them from the database or from the file system (using READ_IMAGE_FILE). Sometimes I am getting just blank field in my image item and sometimes (after using READ_IMAGE_FILE) I get the error FRM-47100 (cannot read image file). Of course I've checked that all the files are displayed using standard tools for displaying TIFFs.
    Basically the question is what kind of TIFF is considered valid and readable by Oracle Forms.
    Analyzing TIFF tags actually gave me nothing: I have a pair of files with tags different only in image width/length and a number of rows/strip (but even those values are close), and one of the file is displayed correctly while the other is not. The thing I noticed is that invalid files are using compression type of CCITT Group 4.
    Possibly Oracle Forms follows TIFF specification only to certain extent and does not support all the extensions, while sometimes the problems are not visible to user.
    As a result of my work I need some automatic tool that converts undisplayable TIFF files to displayable ones but firstly I am to determine where the problem is. And it would be very good to have a prooflink that approves my decision.
    Looking forward to any help! Thanks in advance.

    Thanks to everybody, but I'm afraid my files don't contain any EXIF tags (although TIFF seems to support them). The file doesn't contain any tags with IDs greater than 0x7FFF but only core TIFF tags (with IDs of lower numbers). Moreover I have a file with exactly the same set of tags (but the values are a bit different) which is displayed properly.
    I've shared the issued file (nondisplayable) on the following link: [https://rapidshare.com/files/3137807470/2.tif]
    If anyone could tell me why isn't it displayed in Forms I would be very grateful.

  • Display blob file with oracle forms

    I need to display an image file with oracle forms.
    can any body tell me how to do this ?
    Thanks

    How to do this is dependent on which version of Oracle Forms you are using. Please let us know what version (eg; 10.1.3.x.x not 10g) of Oracle Forms you are using and how your application is deployed (Client/Server or web). If web, what is your Java version?

  • Oracle Forms: getting currently selected item in List

    I've noticed that the method isItemSelected in the oracle.oats.scripting.modules.formsFT.common.api.elements.List class doesn't appear to work. In the drop down lists that I've tested, it always returns true for any item that is in the list (ie the same as isItemInList returns).
    Is there any way to figure out what item is selected in a drop down list in Oracle Forms?

  • Changing text size in form field (rich text formatting enabled)

    Hi all,
    I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I've created an interactive PDF with form fields with "Rich Text Formatting" enabled.
    My client has filled in the fields and would like to make the text bigger. When right-click, there are only options to change the text style (bold, italics etc) but nothing to change the text size. I'm not keen on disabling and then re-enabling the "Rich Text Formatting" options as the text have been formatted (bold, italics, superscript, subscript etc) and approved, and this will remove all the existing formatting.
    Can anyone help?

    Strangely enough, I found the Form Field Text Properties dialogue box by randomly choosing "Hyperlink" in the right-click options. Who would have thought!

    i have taken the data type of this column as varchar2(15) if i take date can i insert the time or varchar2 is ok.Better take column having data type date. You can insert date and time in the date field.
    Just you need to change in forms.
    Change the Data type Date to Datetime
    to show only time, use format mask.
    Hope this helps

  • Bug in Oracle Forms Builder 6i?

    When converting from binary to text in Oracle Forms Builder, the conversion is inexplicably dropping a WHEN-VALIDATE-RECORD trigger for one of my data blocks.
    I am running Oracle Forms Builder 6i on Windows XP with the latest patches. I couldn't find anything in the bug search that resembled this problem. Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround?
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    I just tested this in 10.1.2.2 on XP and could not reproduce the problem. It is unlikely that this is a bug and if it was, it is very likely that it was already corrected.
    Ensure that you are using 6.0.8.26. If you are using Oracle Applications you should be using 6.0.8.27.
    Also, Error Correction Support for stand-alone Forms 6.0.x users ended long ago, which means that a patch cannot be provided for version 6.x.

  • Formatting Issues with SO10 text in Adobe forms

    Hi Everyone,
    I Have the below text maintained in SO10.
    "Thank you for choosing Enterprise.  We look forward to seeing you at 9:00 am on Monday, November 28, 2011.  This message is to confirm you have updated your reservation.  Following are the details for the updated reservation:

    I have created an text module of type include text in Adobe form context. the text which has to be bold is not being displayed as bold and the line space after first paragraph is being skipped out and the 2nd paragraph is being displayed as the continuation of the first. The out put looks as below

    I tried Styles using SE72 on the SO10 text. And I cannot assign smartform styles on SO10 text in Adobe forms.
    Greatly appreciate your suggestions and solutions.

  • Access Flat Files From Oracle Forms Using Simba

    Hi,
    I need to access Flat Files using Simba and display the data using Oracle Forms on Solaris. The Flat Files, Simba and Oracle Forms is on Solaris.
    Thanks.
    Sanjay R Naidu.

    Hi,
    not knowing the flat file's format and why you need SIMBA for it, Forms provides a text_io package that can read from files. You need to parse the file's content and then bring this to a datablock.
