1.Create one content canvas and create one stacked canvas.
2.give the label as Conetnt canvas and stack canvas respectively.
3.Go to conetent canvas layout editor
4.click on menu view-->Stacked Views and select ur stack canvas.
5.Now ur stack canvas is placed on ur content canvas.
6.select the stack canvas in same layout editor and click on one of the corner of stack canvas.
7.now u can move that stack canvas where ever u want on content canvas.

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?

Why?.....You don't need to hide your content canvas, just use show_view for the stacked canvas. and check the viewport height and width on your stack canvas properties.

Displaying multiple stacked canvas

can any one tell me how to display mutiple stacked canvas on a content canvas dynamically. how to set property to hide and display stacked canvas.??
can any one help me regarding this???
thanks in advance
regards,
madan

like mentioned before you need to control them with hide_view('<canvas_name or id');
and show_view to display.
Hide your stacked canvases you don't need upon start of the form in the when-new-form-instance trigger
And if you click the help button and type hide_view you'll find even reeady to use examples.
The help is included for some reason ;-)

Stacked canvas dispalying problem

hi am displaying multiple stacked canvas on a content canvas. i have a problem in displaying them even hiding the first canvas(B) am not able to display the second canvas(A) its still showing the first canvas(B).
am using show_view(A) to display the stacked view while i use hide_view(B) to hide the canvas B
almost both the stacked canvas have same fields in particular i kept the mirror fields on the stack B from stack A.
my requirement is to display stacked canvas A or B dynamically!!
can any one direct me with some gud solution.
thanks in advance.
regards,
madhan

Hi Madan,
You are using correct function to do so. But you may need to manipulate.
When you want to show canvas A or B, follow the mentioned steps:
If you want to hide B and show A
IF canvas b is visible then
hide_view(B);
show_view (A);
go_Item (item_on_cavans A)
END IF;
And vice versa.

How do put a stack canvas inside the tab canvas

Hi all,
I have content canvas and tab canvas Now i want to put a stack canvas on the tab canvas .suppose tab canvas page are Page1,page2, page3 when i click the page1 then display the stack canvas 1,and when i click page2 then
display stack canvas 3 ..... so on. help me to find the solutions to this Issue
Thanks

You would use the when-tab-page-changed trigger to use hide_view and show_view commands to hide one stacked canvas and show another.
Just keep in mind that for a canvas to be displayed, the cursor must be in an item on that canvas, or at least in an item NOT covered by the canvas.

Display employees details in the stacked canvas from the content canvas

Hi all,
       I want to display employees details in the stacked canvas from the content canvas,where i passed the empno & click on the find button , i have 2 blocks(emp,control), in control block only find button there, I have only one table i.e;emp
BEGIN
    GO_BLOCK('EMP');
    Set_block_property('EMP', default_where, 'Empno = :EMP.EMPNO');
     Show_view('EMP_DET_CAN');
    execute_query;
END;
Thank You

Hi Andreas Wieden,
Andreas Weiden wrote:
When you query on the EMP-block, yiou cannot include a WHERE-condition to that block as the block is cleared when the EXECUTE_QUERY starts. If you want to have a different find-block where you enter your search-condition, you have to include that item in your separate find-block. Otherwise use the standard-search-mechanism with ENTER_QUERY and EXECUTE_QUERY.
You are right, so where clause is not possible in the same block, right?.I have to take empno column where it is a search column into the control block right?
Please suggest me i want to retrieve records into the stacked canvas when i pass the empno & click on the find button in the content canvas? Is this not possible? If possible please let me know? I mean i want to take the search column in the EMP Block & find button in the control block..
Thank You

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.

(another) stacked canvas on content canvas problem

I've searched the forums for the last 2+ hours and can't find a solution for my problem, although there are hundreds of questions on this subject.
I have a stacked canvas on top of a content canvas. The canvases share the same window. They also share a data block. I added radio buttons on the main canvas to "show/hide" the stacked (my ultimate goal is to have 2-3 stacked and toggle. When hide, the stacked canvas is hidden, but when i click show, it is not. I understand reading all the posts that the block with focus will display, and I've added both a go_block and go_item prior to the show_view. Below is my code. MEL_DETAILS is content and MEL_LINE_ITEM is stacked.
IF :stack = 'SHOW_STACK' THEN
GO_BLOCK('MEL_ITEM');
GO_ITEM('MEL_ITEM.MIS_PROJECT_NO');
SHOW_VIEW('MEL_LINE_ITEM');
SET_VIEW_PROPERTY('MEL_LINE_ITEM', visible, property_true);
SET_VIEW_PROPERTY('MEL_LINE_ITEM', display_position, 718, 583);
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('PROJECTS.STACK',MOUSE_NAVIGATE,PROPERTY_FALSE); -- radio button
ELSif :stack = 'HIDE_STACK' THEN
HIDE_VIEW('MEL_LINE_ITEM');
SET_VIEW_PROPERTY('MEL_LINE_ITEM', visible, property_false);
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('PROJECTS.STACK',MOUSE_NAVIGATE,PROPERTY_TRUE);
END IF;

The line..

How to change the order of columns displayed in Stacked Canvas

Dear Member,
I have a Stacked Cavas which has many Items. How do i change the order of the Items displayed when the form is opened?
I checked the X-Position in the property palette of each item, all the items have an X-position=0. I am really confused how do i change the order of the columns which are displayed in the stacked canvas when opening the form.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Sandeep

If i Try to use SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('BLOCK.ITEM', X_POS, myXpos);
then it will increment each item X Position. The Total Stacked Canvas width i have is 9 and there are total of 36 items in the stacked canvas each of equal width 1.1,
so the total becomes 38.5 which is greater than 9.
I saw all triggers in the code, i dont see any code which exclusively determines item positions at run time. As i said before all the items have X position as zero but still they come up nicely.
i HAVE A button in the form and following is the code which is written in when-button pressed trigger :
show_view('DETAIL_CNT');
GO_BLOCK('XX_PA_BUDGET_DTL_BLK');
where DETAIL_CNT is the content canvas and 'XX_PA_BUDGET_DTL_BLK' is the data block in which items from both stacked and content exsist.
I dont understand why this is happening.
Thanks
Sandeep

Stacked canvas is overlapping the content canvas

Hi all,
I am writing a program where I have one content canvas and a button to display the stacked canvas on button click. But when I run the form, 'only' the stacked canvas is showing-up even though I have hidden the stacked canvas in the on-new-form trigger.
Can anybody please shed some light.
Thanks,
Naren.

Hi,
Assuming you have two or more datablocks:
On the object navigator, move up (drag-drop) the datablock shown on the main canvas, so it apeears first.
OR
Open the Forms properties and set property: "First navigation data block"

Hugo.

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.

Content canvas to stacked canvas for scroll bars

I have a form which has more items. Initially I developed the form with content canvas(this has vertical scroll bar). now I changed this canvas to stacked canvas to get horizontal + vertical scroll bar. But I am not able to do it. Can any one please advice me how to achieve. Basically I need horizontal + veritcal scroll, so that user can easily scroll it.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks in Advance!!

Hi
This is a common task in Oracle Applications forms, the steps would be:
- Put the context, fixed fields on content canvas, to the left of the window
- Modify the block to show vertical scroll bar, display it on content canvas, to the right of the window
- Accommodate remaining fields on stacked canvas, all of them from 0.0 to the right.
- Modify stacked canvas viewport size and position to be shown in the space between the fixed fields on the content canvas and the vertical scrollbar on it, allow for space to the horizontal scrollbar
- As Craig's answer states, modify stacked canvas property to show horizontal scrollbar

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..
