How: Stacked Canvas on Tab Canvas ?

Hi All,
I have content canvas in which I have placed tab canvas with 5 tabs, and on one of the tab I want to place stacked canvas because I have to display multiple blocks on this stacked canvas with vertical scroll bar (This I can specify by saying Vertical scroll bar as Yes for Stacked canvas).
There is a restriction that, it is not possible to place stacked canvas on tab canvas (Possible only on content canvas), so is there any other workaround.
Please let me know if anyone has worked on similar type of screen development. Appreciate if anyone can provide some sample code.
Advance thanks for your time and help.
Regards
CJ

Hi All,
I found the solution and successfully implemented the desired functionality
DECLARE
     v_Tab VARCHAR2(1000);
BEGIN
     v_Tab := GET_CANVAS_PROPERTY('CAN_TABS', TOPMOST_TAB_PAGE);
     IF v_Tab = 'a1' THEN
     GO_BLOCK('BLK1');
          EXECUTE_QUERY;
     ELSIF v_Tab = 'a2' THEN
          GO_BLOCK('BLK2');
          EXECUTE_QUERY;
     ELSIF v_Tab = 'a3' THEN
*          Set_View_Property('CAN_STK_FIS_NET',HEIGHT,280);*
*          Set_View_Property('CAN_STK_FIS_NET',WIDTH,630);*
*          Set_View_Property('CAN_STK_FIS_NET',DISPLAY_POSITION,6,135);*
*          SHOW_VIEW('CAN_STK_FIS_NET');     *
          GO_BLOCK('BLK_FIS1_GRID');
          EXECUTE_QUERY;
END IF;
END ;
I have seperately created stacked canvas 'CAN_STK_FIS_NET' and placed multiple blocks as per requirement and able to achieve the functionality.
Please let me know if any one need any detail explanation.

How to change content/stacked canvases to tab canvas

Hi,
I have created a form which has one content canvas and multiple stacked canvases. The content canvas displays the first page and then we hv to click on next to go to the next stacked canvas and so on. I want to try making it in tabs (tab canvas) and then I will decide which one looks better and performs good.
Can you guys please give me a detailed instruction on how to convert my content and stacked canvases to tab canvases. I have never done tab canvas. I tried one, I changed one of my present stacked canvas to tab but all the fields and texts were gone and there were just two tabs in it.
Please suggest. Thanks in advance.

Might get a better response in the Forms forum...

Now, This should be displayed in Tabular format with Horizontal and vertical scrolling as the table has many columns.
Please give me step by step instructions so that it could be implemented quickly.
P.S : I am using Oracle forms 6i.
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
1. When i open the form only the fields added in the tab canvas are visible.
Where u have drawn the stack canvas,you need to create in the main canvas where ur tab canvas is there and u need to drag it to tab canvas.Have u created the trigger when tab_page_changed?
2. when i change the tab page from tab 1 to tab 2 and then again get back to tab 1, then the stack canvas fields are visible and the fields in tab gets invisible.
Just place the stack canvas correctly after the fields in tab page 1.
3. The stack canvas is not horizontally scrolling.
Just go to the property palette of stack canvas and make yes to both horizontal and vertical to yes.
Do i have to create a stack canvas separately? and then how do i drag it into tab canvas. i am still not getting this. because.
when i open the tab canvas page i do not find the stack layout so that i can drag it like a normal text item.
Yes u need to create a stack canvas separately. Just open the Mani canvas the tab pages are there, then in that click the stack canvas icon and create a stack canvas and create all the fields, and move the stack canvas to the tab page. And u need to create a when tab page changed trigger at form level.

Move Field from Stacked Canvas to Tab Canvas

Forms R2 10.1.2.0.2. Adding tab canvas to an existing form and want to retrofit a tab canvas into the form. When I move an existing field via the property sheet by changing Canvas and Tab page to Page, the field does not show. I can create a new field on the tab canvas with no problem. Is there a trick here that I am missing?

I figured it out. You have to reset the X & Y position with an offset of the 0,0 position. The Tab Canvas has it own Grid separate from the Main Canvas, which starts at 0,0. I should have seen it before creating this post.

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?

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.

Tab Canvas on a STACKED Canvas?

Is it possible to have a tab canvas ON (IN) a stacked canvas? Or can a tab canvas ONLY be placed on a content canvas?
Thanks!

Hi,
Can you tell the requirement clearly, whether you need to create a tab canvas on stacked canvas, a tab canvas in stacked canvas.
1.Stack Canvas in Tab canvas
First you need to create a tab canvas in the content canvas then you need to create a stack canvas on the content canvas, then you need to align it properly.

Tab canvas disappear when the main stacked canvas reach the end of column

Hi all,
I have 3 canvas ( 1 main canvas, 1 stacked canvas ) and this link to 1 tab canvas. All these are in the same window.
Whenever using the keyboard to press enter navigate from column to column and when it reach the end of the main canvas which is about to jump to the stack canvas, the two canvas ( stacked & tab ) was hide by itself. Even I have stated earlier to show all canvas in the pre-block trigger. when I keep on press the enter to jump to the next stacked canvas, this stacked canvas is being shown again. My tab canvas was not appear if I am press the enter key. However, if I press the arrow key down the tab canvas is appear. This I wasn't do any code to call the tab canvas.
When I keep on press enter and reach the end of the stacked canvas again the tab canvas is disappear, unless I have press the arrow key down to display the tab canvas.
Trying to use show_view( tab canvas ) in many trigger but still does not show the effect.
Anyone has this experience before ?
Thanks.

Tab-Canvas and Stacked-Canvas (Forms 5.0)

Is it possible to design a tab canvas that contains stacked-canvas? I can't create it!

Yes - it is possible to design a tab canvas that contains stacked-canvas. Create a separate canvas with its own block and you can call go_block and the canvas/block will show. You can also call show_view but the canvas you call must be of the type stacked. (aside - a tab canvas seems to automatically act like a stacked canvas). I have used a canvas w/block that sits at the top of the screen by setting it to be only 60 points tall (and it is the first block in the list) then in a when-new-form-instance trigger I call show_view('tab canvas name') and have its viewport begin at 60, therefore the tab canvas fits right under the header canvas. You can then leave this to call other canvases/blocks and return and set up the same situation again. Sometimes I have gotten strange results where no matter what I do it will not show the tab canvas - at this point usually you recreate what won't show and it will then work.
good luck.

Tab canvas disappears at run time

Hi,
I have a Content canvas with a data block displaying fields in the top section of the canvas_main. Bottom half of the canvas_main has canvas_tab with three tab pages tab1, tab2, tab3 all have data block (child records fo above block) each.
At run time I can see the canvas main with its items but cannot see the tab pages.
since I execute a query in WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE which is supposed to populate fields in canvas_main as well as child records in tab pages. I have inlcuded debug messages to see if tab page does appear or not. So the tab pages do appear and also display child record but tab canvas does not stay on the scree.
Did try to use SHOW_VIEW('tab_canvas') without any luck.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
a tab canvas is like a stacked canvas.
Both canvas types disappear, when they lie over an item, with input focus. When you press next block / next item (when the items on the tab canvas belong to the same block) should display the canvas again. When this is true, I am probably right.
