Displaying Where Dialog Box in Forms 10g at runtime

hi all,
In Forms 6i, I was able to display the Where Dialog box to define complex search conditions by entering <b>:variable_name</b> in a field.
How can I do the same in Oracle 10g Forms at runtime?
thanks in advance.

Have you had a look at metalink note 370302.1?
Symptoms Query/Where dialog does not come up when execute query on block entering '&' or ':' in a field.
ChangesUpgrade to Forms 10.1.2.0.2 Cause In order to be more secure out of the box, a new parameter was introduced
FORMS_RESTRICT_ENTER_QUERY to TRUE in default.env and this results in the query/where dialog not appearing.
SolutionTo implement the solution, please execute the following steps:
1. Edit $ORACLE_HOME/forms/server/default.env
2. Comment the line as :
# FORMS_RESTRICT_ENTER_QUERY=TRUE
or
set:
FORMS_RESTRICT_ENTER_QUERY=FALSE

Hi,
"By typing a colon in a field, the end user can cause Oracle Forms to open the Query Where dialog box, allowing the end user to specify conditions that are too complex to specify by entering values into fields".
I have tried above thing, but where clause dialog box not opening.
Somebody can help me out.

Displaying a dialog box.

I have to display a dialog box by using ADF faces. I am able to create a pop up, but need a dialog box in its place. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?
thanks.
Minaz.

Hi Minaz!
The Dialog Framework creates a popup window. In that window you can add 'normal' jsf pages (with or without workflow). The advantage is, that you have direct access to the values that you have put into tze dialog form. See that article: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/101/howtos/adfdialog/index.html

How to display a dialog box?

I finally have my application accepting data through a form and posting to a MySQL database.
Now, when a record has been successfully posted to the database I would like a dialog box to appear saying "Data saved in database...click OK to continue" and the user clicks on the OK button and goes back to the front back of the application.
How can I make a dialog box appear, or what are the alternatives (if this is not possible).
Thanks,
Peter

Typically you would name each object in your user interface (the name is not necessarily the same as the visible text in the button, but it might be).
Then the name of the button is passed into the on clicked handler where you can deal with it how you like:
on clicked theObject
  if name of theObject = "button1name" then
    -- code to display your dialog
  else if name of theObject = "button2name"
    -- user clicked a different button, so that code goes here
  end if
end clicked
You can extend this to run any actions based on the object that was clicked.

Arabic characters are displaying as question marks in forms 10g

We have migrated our application from forms 6i to forms 10g and now in forms 10g the arabic characters are displaying as question marks while it displays correctly in the old application using forms 6i. I have already set the character set to AR8MSWIN1256 in the registry, but it didn't help. Somebody please help.

@ Sarah, Al-Salamu Alikum We Rahmatu Allah we Barakatu,
Sarah Habibty, why new installation ? In order to select a new suitable character set !!!
Then creating a new instance from the db is a better alternative since it saves time,effort and another back up of his current db is exist safely if needed for any purposes in the future.
@Amer,honestly speaking...
Modifing ur NLS_LANG to > AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8MSWIN1256
Works for me in both Arabic and English data in 2 applications.This works in my pc.But it didn't works at my boss pc this can happened don't have any reason for that.!!!!
i spent lot's of time trying to search but what i had got is that solution i suggested by a friend of mine.
Now please could you advise me, is it better to create a new instance of database as Amatu Allah has suggested or is it better to change the character set through sql as some others have suggested? Again i suggest to select the short cut way ; to reset the character set through sql after taking a back up from ur data that is currently exist.
then retest again doing the select and test ur data input and retrieval.
SQL> select * from v$nls_parameters
2 where parameter in ('NLS_CHARACTERSET','NLS_LANGUAGE');watching the output if it works that's fine saving ur time & effort .
if not working with the correct NLS_CHARACTERSET then use my previous solution.
Hope this helps...

Amatu Allah

Conditional display of list box in form (depends on other report column)

Hello,
i have one question regarding conditional display in forms.
I have a tabular form where only one column ("flag") is updateable, all other columns are visible only.
I changed the column "flag" from "standard report column" to "Select list (static lov)", which has the values "yes" and "no".
This works fine. But in the running form i want to display the list box only if the column "status" = 'ERROR'.
The column "status" can have the values 'ERROR' and 'OK'.
When one record has "status" = 'OK', the column "flag" should not display the list box (only empty column row),
when one record has "status" = 'ERROR" the column "flag" should display the list box.
The idea behind is that if a record has "status" = 'ERROR' i have the possibility to confirm that "error" and update the column "flag" with "YES". This should only be possible for errors.
This is my main problem.
I tried with conditional display, but this hides or shows the column for the whole report/form, not on record level...
The second problem then is, that if the column "flag" is changed to "YES" in case of column "status" = 'ERROR', then it should not be possible to change it again to 'NO". At the beginning it is 'NO', but once changed to 'YES' it should not be changeable any more.
Is this possible?
Thank you in advance,
Matthias

Hello Mike
your solution sounds good, but unfortunately it is not working.
None of my 2 columns are displayed, although i tried it as you wrote and the conditions should match...
But i am no sure if this can work. If so, the 2 columns must fuse to 1 column:
ID STATUS FLAG
1 ERROR yes/no => comes from column1
2 OK (null => comes from column2
so "FLAG" must display column1 and column2 in one column. is that possible?
regards,
Matthias

How to invoke 'File Open' dialog box in Forms (under unix)

Hi all,
On the Unix platform (motif), how do I get the File Open Dialog
Box by using Forms45.
Thanks and regards,
Srinivasa.
null

going from 6i to 10g is a migration. That's no easy step normally.
client-server-functionality has gone. web-functionality is new.
Install the new webutil-toolset from oracle and use the new file-open-dialog from the webutil.pll. That's the way you work in the new 10g-environment.
Read in the forms-section of the OTN the migration-papers and the webutil-doc's

Use GET_FILE_NAME built in

** Example: Can get an image of type TIFF.
DECLARE
filename VARCHAR2(256)
BEGIN
filename := GET_FILE_NAME(File_Filter=> 'TIFF Files (*.tif)|*.tif|');
READ_IMAGE_FILE(filename, 'TIFF', 'block5.imagefld);
END;

Query/Where dialog box size limit

I searched this forum and was unable to find out a way to add more than 200 characters to the Query/Where dialogue box when using the colon query. I see that this object is a security risk but we still use it and have been using it for years. I guess someone finally tried to enter more than 200 char and hit the limit. This is 9.041 (obsolete I know).

You did not indicate which Forms version you are using. I just test in 10.1.2.3 and it works correctly.
1. Verify FORMS_RESTRICT_ENTER_QUERY=FALSE in default.env
2. Enter Query
3. Type :a into the desired field
4. Execute Query
If you are not using 10.1.2.3 and have executed the above step and the problem still reproduces, upgrade to 10.1.2.3 or 11.1.1.3

Graphics display problems (dialog boxes) Lenovo G50 AMD A6 Win 8.1

Graphics display problems Lenovo G50 AMD A6 Win 8.1 Greetings to all. After having spent a number of days trying to find a solution to a display problem, I turn to this forum for help. I own a Lenovo G50 AMD A6 Win 8.1 ever since November 2014, and have had display problems ever since the first day, be it while using internet (Firefox or Explorer) or various software (Text editors, etc.). Many dialog boxes, including colour settings and controls (open, close etc.) either have an inappropriate appearance or even do not appear at all! I manage to "click" on the right places using memory: most areas are INVISIBLE! Another example would be that I do not see any backround colour or image on most webpages such as this one).  Some suggestions included checking for graphics updates (but the drivers used were already up-to-date).  I 'd be most obliged for any new suggestions. Thank you very much. George

Greetings to all, I finally decided to express my utmost discontent with- the Lenovo G50-45 I bought before Christmas 2014,- the summary response with inappropriate links that I received after exposing my problem- the fact that I tried to dowload the following graphics driver  (Beema) AMD Driver (VGA, HDAudio, SATA) for Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

I find it quite disrespectful to NOT provide customers with EASY support, as well as avoiding to answer their requests for further help when some simplistic "assistance" that one can find almost anywhere on the web leads to no further solution. I shall not repeat the problems I have faced till now: vide supra. The problem, however, is NOT just with browsers.I simply cannot see any dialog box content and colour in MANY software programs, such as OPEN OFFICE; for instance: PRESENTATION colour dialog boxes show BLANK squares instead of squares filled with different colours. This has occured AVER SINCE DAY ONE! Finally, a new bug has appeared: Windows 8.1 keeps popping up some email program to which I am invited to register - I never created a Windows email account, and certainly don't intend to do so.NOR shall I accept some "Lenovo Service Bridge", however "discreet and inoffensive" it might be. I don't know if there are any legal grounds for customers to complain for all these problems. I DO know, however, that I shall NEVER buy a LENOVO device ever again. The pricing and processor might be competitive => yet, the support that ensues is, as far as I'm concerned, LAMENTABLE. To make a presentation, I have to switch to a Samsung R20 using XP..... What is the meaning of all this? George

Problem displaying my dialog box

Hi everyone.
I have a very annoying problem. I have a GUI frame that my application runs in. It implements a WindowListener interface and I override the windowClosing() method so when the window is closed I perform some memory clean up procedures.
So I want to have a dialog box pop up when the window is closing which displays some information about what's going on while my closing procedures are being executed.
The problem is that the dialog box appears, which I do by:
shutdownDialog.setVisible(true);but it has nothing in it. No components at all. Now I used Netbeans to make the dialog box so I know they should be there.
I even put the shutdownDialog.setVisible(true) into another part of my program and when the box pops up it has all the components like it should.
Is there a reason why components of the dialog box don't show up when it's called from the windowClosing() method?
Is there any other way I could accomplish that?

If the components don't appear possible causes could be: they haven't been added to the dialog, they haven't been laid out within the dialog, they aren't being painted.
Now I used Netbeans to make the dialog box so I know they should be there.It isn't my intention to stand between someone and their belief systems. But neither can I stand aside silent when I know that skepticism is more effective in tracking down bugs: abandon "they should be there" in favour of "they are not there" and try and figure out why.
I don't know Netbeans, but the following is effective:
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.event.WindowAdapter;
import java.awt.event.WindowEvent;
import java.awt.event.WindowListener;
import javax.swing.JDialog;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
public class CloseEg {
    private JFrame gui;
    public CloseEg() {
        gui = new JFrame("Close example");
        gui.setSize(new Dimension(300, 300));
        gui.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE);
        gui.addWindowListener(appCloser);
        shutdownDialog = new JDialog((JFrame)null);
        shutdownDialog.setUndecorated(true);
        shutdownDialog.add(new JLabel("Close down initiated. Please be patient"));
        shutdownDialog.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        shutdownDialog.pack();
        gui.setVisible(true);
    private WindowListener appCloser = new WindowAdapter() {
        public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
            shutdownDialog.setVisible(true);
            Thread closerThread = new Thread(new Runnable() {
                public void run() {
                    doCloseDown();
            closerThread.start();
    private JDialog shutdownDialog;
    private void doCloseDown() {
        try {
            Thread.sleep(5000);
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        System.exit(0);
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                new CloseEg();
}If I don't pack() the dialog, I don't see it at all. If I try and do the closedown on the EDT - ie don't create a new thread for it - then the sleep() (or other lengthy operation) stops the dialog's components from being drawn.
You will get better help more quickly in the [Swing forum|http://forums.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=57]. Although having started here, you might as well continue.
If nothing suggested by my code helps, you might like to post an example that can be compiled to illustrate the problem. (But teh Netbeans is a jealous god and sometimes makes that difficult;)
