Display whole Forms MDI window

Hi,
I have webforms 10.1.2.3 running on XP Sp3 clients using IE7 with Sun plugin 1.6 update 17.
I start a form and maximize the MDI window
set_window_property(forms_mdi_window,width,maximize);
set_window_property(forms_mdi_window,height,maximize);
or
set_window_property(forms_mdi_window,window_state,maximize);
the Window is maximized, but the MS Windows iconbar ( including icons for the opened application, the shortcuts,..) will be displayed in front of the 2nd message/statusline of the forms Window?
If I press the maximize window icon of the Forms MDI window, the whole MDI window comes in front and the whole Forms MDI will be displayed correctly.
Is there a way to bring the whole Forms MDI window programmatically in Front?
Thanks
Hendrik

hi, i also have the same issue as you although it is not a show stopper where I work, I did some investigating on this forum
check out this link
set_window_property(forms_mdi_window, window_state, maximize);

Want to change Form MDI Window default icon as well as default window icon

Hi,
I am using oracle forms 10g. I need to change the mdi window default icon as well as default window icon of inner form. But i do not know the way. Pls help me.

http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/webutil/webutil.htm
webutil lets you access the client machine from webforms. you'll need to install it on the application server and include the webutil library and object group in the form which will change the MDI window's icon (probably the first form in the application).

Forms 10g : How to hide the parent MDI window.

Hi All ,
We have migrated an forms sdi application into forms 10g.
Now in the new application , we see a parent MDI appearing as a background to the SDI windows which is smaller in size ( as per the settings ).
Wanted to know if there is any solution to hide this parent Window(MDI) as the user wants a similar look and feel as his current application.
Any help is really appreciated .
thank you all.

Dear Friend,
If u r using SeparateFrame = true, then you cannot minimize forms MDI window, because this is the form on which your sdi form is based. It is better if you display your forms inside the main browser by setting SeparateFrame = false. It will look better as a new Internet explorer window will not be visible, which is true for SeparateFrame = true parameter.

Urgent : Sizing MDI Window for Forms running on Web

Hi,
I am using Developer 6.0 and deploying forms on Web. I use
SEPERATE_FRAME = YES in my HTML so that the form appears outside
the browser in a seperate Window. The problem I am facing is the
initial size of the MDI Window is very small compared to the
Application window, so I have to maximise the MDI Window
manually in order to see my Application Window completely.
On Client Server I can get the handle of this MDI window using
FORMS_MDI_WINDOW and maximise it programatically. On Web
FORMS_MDI_WINDOW returns NULL as a result I cannot maximise the
same.
1. Is there any way to get the handle of MDI Window on web ?
2. If not is there a way to set the size of MDI window thru any
parameters or setting in HTML file or by other means ?
Thanx in advance
Ravi

Hello,
you must generate a CWeb - cartrigde for your forms with a
separate frame in the Oracle Application Server_v4.0.7.
In the height and wight values for the frame set your size.
It works very well.
All the best

Forms freezes up; resizing mdi window gets it going again!

Hi all,
We have an issue where some forms are not getting painted properly or they do not function correctly. We notice that on many occassions the progress bar in the bottom right hand corner of the MDI window just stops going from side to side and just freezes. If we resize the MDI window by dragging the corner in or out a little then the progress bar stops freezing or going from side to side and normal functionality resumes!
Does anyone else have this issue and/or a solution?

WEBUTIL_SEPARATEFRAME.SetIcon('my_logo.gif');
end if;

HOW TO HIDE MDI WINDOW INFORMS 9I WHEN THEY RUN IN WEB BROWSER

Hi. Will any body tell me how to hide the default MDI window title in Forms 9i when it run in Web Browser. I am using the "Look and feel" property as "Generic" in Formsweb.cfg file. I tried the RESIZE,POSITION,MINIMIZE,VISIBLE FALSE properties of SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY FUNCTION, But the horizontal Bar at the top displaying "Window" on it, is displayed. OR some time form is not displayed at all. So plz help me. This kindness of any one will be appriciated.
Regards
Inayat Qazi

Hi Inayat,
To remove the ORACLE icon, change the line "logo=" to "logo=x" in file formsweb.cfg.
I am not sure if it is possible to remove the standard-menu (horizontal bar with word Window, as you describe it), because as far as I know it is inheritance for the Windows OS. In other words, removing the standard menu can only be achieved if you run on another OS.
Kind regards.

Forms 6i window scrollbar focus (flickback)

i have a requirement to make a tall/high dialog style form that can be displayed on different screen resolutions. A scrollbar needs to be used to enable users of lower resolution screens to scroll from the top of the canvas to the bottom (<b>without key press type navigation</b>). The problem is focus flicks back to the last item that had the cursor in it.
For example:
in forms 6i (at least) if you create a content canvas that is larger than is able to be displayed on the screen then assign it to a window that has a vertical and/or horizontal (so you can scroll down the oversized canvas) and can be maxmized. Place a text item at the top and a button at the bottom of the canvas. run the form, focus/cursor goes to text item at the top. maximize the window. use the scrollbar to view the button at the bottom....as soon as the mouse leaves the scrollbar and enters the canvas focus flicks back to that part of the canvas containing the text item which has the cursor in it. This makes it impossible to ever get to that button without a key-next-item or other navigational function.
i have tried many different settings including using a stacked canvas with its own scrollbar and the same thing happens.
why on earth is this? is there some way to get around this problem - i want the focus to remain in that part of the canvas that the scrollbar was used to view.
any assistance would be appreciated.
regards
ps: i have not been able to locate any related discussions on this point.

i have found a workaround, albeit not enormously satisfactory.
The MDI window scrollbar does not seem to have this flick back problem, just forms defined canvas and form window scroll bars (at least) do. Therefore, so as long as the over-high (or over-wide) form is in a window that is Document Style (meaning it is affected by the MDIs scrollbar - unlike DIALOG style windows) then an overlarge "dialog style" called form can be scrolled down via the MDI scroll bar.

Closing the MDI Window...

Hi Guys,
I have a set of 10 forms which are being called from a
another form through Forms Menu. Lets take the scenario as Form
A opens Form B via "Open Form". From there on using Forms Menu,
Form B opens the rest of the 8 forms using "Call Form". My
requirement is that incase the MDI Window is closed all the
forms should get closed along with it. Suppose I open Form E
from Menu of Form B (Call Form) and then Open Form D from Menu
of Form C (Call Form). Currently if I have to close the
application, I have to indivisually close all the forms. So If
there are 5 forms open I have to close the MDI Window five
times. Is there a method by which on click of a single button
the Application as a whole should close, instead of user having
to closde all the forms individually.
Please help me if any body has done this before. Is there a
way to find the process id of the current forms session at the
Windows level, in which case I can right a C++ progam to kill
the process itself.
Please reply asap...
Regards,
Vcrum...

Bogdan,
we are trying to close the sole document window we have inside of our MDI application, leaving the application itself open. By comparison, you can leave MS Word application window open without having any document windows in it. I am starting to doubt it's possible at all in Forms. To re-phrase the question, is having at least one document window open at all times a requirement for MDI application?
Thank you.
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Bogdan Dincescu ([email protected]):
I understand that the one document window is the main window of the form that is curenntly running and that you have one only form running. Closing that window you close that form, so how would the application know any better then closing.
Please be more specific as to what you really need to do.
Best wishes,

Error when displaying xellerate form

Hello,
I have the following error when displaying the form of any xellerate users :
ERROR,03 May 2011 10:40:56,273,[XELLERATE.APIS],Class/Method: tcFormDefinitionOperationsBean/getFormFieldPropertyValue encounter some problems: Property 'Column Names' has not defined for the form field '-19'
All is working fine, just this error that is diplayed each time I want to display a user form. In my formMetadata.xml, I have the following definition for the field -19, it is the manager :
<Attribute name="-19" label="global.label.managerid" displayComponentType="LookupField" variantType="long" dataLength="50" map="Users.Manager Login">

What is the problem with my attribute definition ?
Thanks for your help,

Hello,
I'm new to OIM. I am a new hire to a group that had a contractor setup the whole system. I'm finding a similar issue on our system here. I've looked through the database and cannot seem to find the issue. Error happens when from the webapp clicking on "Create IT Resource".
From the Error Log:
Class/Method: tcFormDefinitionOperationsBean/getFormFieldPropertyValue encounter some problems: Property 'Column Names' has not defined for the form field '-82'
Line with issue from FormMetaData.xml:
<Attribute name="-82" label="global.label.itresourcetype" displayComponentType="LookupField" variantType="String" dataLength="255" map="IT Resources Type Definition.Server Type" useInRule="true">
<ValidValues lookupQuery="select svd_svr_type from svd" selectionColumn="svd_svr_type"/>
</Attribute>
Please let me know any additional information/questions. From what I can tell everything should be correct. Sorry again if the answer is obvious, I'm only 3 days into OIM.
Thank you,
