Forms 10g menu image

Hii,
I am using forms 10g in which i am having a image showing my application information. I want this image to be displayed all the time. Is there ant thing such as menu can be having image.
One solution i have that is i am using a form in full size which is having image and i am displaying this form with no close allowed property.
But when i am opening a another form and i clicks on the form with image the form i have opened hides behind this form with image. How can i handle this situation.
please help

There is a solution in MetaLink. See Subject: "Drop Downs Don't Work With Dual Monitors (Extended Desktop)".
Symptoms
When Forms application is dragged from a monitor to another in a dual monitor system, the drop down lists stops working
Cause
This issue was caused both by the lack of Multi-screen Setup Support in Java versions prior to JDK1.2 and by Bug 2772796 - Apps6: Drop Down Menus Invisible When Using Dual Or Multiple Monitor Setup
The bug is fixed in Forms 10.1.2.2 and beyond. It allowed the bounds to be calculated fine across the now available displays.
Solution
If using Forms version 9.0.4.3 then you can apply Patch 2772796 on top of it.
If using Forms 10.1.2.0.2 then upgrade to Forms version 10.1.2.2 or beyond.
Note: If using Oracle Applications 11i, please consult the solution rather in the Note 430179.1 - Drop Down Menus Invisible When Using Dual Or Multiple Monitors

Forms 10G menu not showing submenus

I have a forms 10G application that is showing the main menu items but wont display the submenu items. The application works correctly on both a Linux (OAS 10.1.2.0.1) and a Windows (OAS 10.1.2.3) testserver.
After placing and compiling (without any errors) the application on a clients server the main screen is shown with the main menu items. However, clicking on the menu items won't open the submenus. The only menu item that works is the exit option which is not of command type "menu" but of command type "PL/SQL".
The menu's use security property is set to no.
Has anybody experienced this behaviour? What is going wrong?

Forms 10g Menu Issues

I am attempting to migrate from 6i client/server to 10g forms. I am having difficulty with the menu's. I am ok with the DEFAULT&SMARTBAR. The users are used to seeing this from the 6i. When the forms are launched from the builder the default menu includes a Window item. When the same fmx is run using the "run a form on the web", the Windows menu item is gone. Because my forms launch more forms, having the Window item would be very nice. How can I keep the Window Item when run from the web?

I am also having similar issues. I am using developer suite 10g release 2. so i guess its forms_path and not forms90_path. but that is set, plls are attaching well, but mmb/mmx is a problem. all the objects (pll, mmb, mmx) are in the path specified in the forms_path variable. after stating that it could not find menu (frm-10221), it also gives 92101 forms server message and i have to reboot the system. (stopping and restarting oc4j instance does not help).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Calling Report from Menu (Oracle Forms 10g)

We have the applications in Forms6i & Reports 6i (Client Server) and migrating to Forms 10g and Reports 10g. We have the menu, from that menu we are calling all the forms and Reports. For especially Reports earlier we user RUN_PRODUCT but now 10g it is not working. How can call the report using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT
Important things we have some dynamic parameters (input) to the each report. That means when i called the report from the menu i need to get first parameter form to take the parameters and then can be run the report.

Here is the code to call report from menu in 10g
DECLARE
pl_id ParamList;
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep varchar2(100);
v_server VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status varchar2(100);
v_host VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
     select rep_server into v_server from reports_data;
     select machine into v_host from reports_data;
pl_id := Get_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
     IF NOT Id_Null(pl_id) THEN
     Destroy_Parameter_List( pl_id );
     END IF;
     pl_id := Create_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'P_C_CODE',TEXT_PARAMETER,:GLOBAL.COMPANY);
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'P_B_CODE',TEXT_PARAMETER,:GLOBAL.BRANCH);
     repid := find_report_object('REPORTOBJ');
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_FILENAME,getpath||'E_VOUCHER_ENTRY.RDF');
          SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
          SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'htmlcss');
          SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_SERVER,v_server);
          v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid, pl_id);
          rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep);
          WHILE rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED')
               LOOP
                    rep_status := report_object_status(v_rep);
                         message('Running');
               END LOOP;

I tried it doing it this way and it worked -
1. copy the image into the directory aliased in 9iAS configuration file as '/images/'.
2. In the PL/SQL code section after header, I write the following code -
begin
htp.p('<img src="/images/pobexp.gif"/>');
end;

How to replace the forms6i menu parameter in forms 10g after migration

Hai,
We have forms6i application and we are going to migrate forms6i into forms 10g .The forms 6i have the menu userdefine parameter.But forms 10g don't have the option. so please send me the suggesstion what we can do .Is there any alternative way.How to bring the same funtionality in forms 10g after the migration.pls reply me
THANKS

We had the same problem - you could develop a new form just to accept the necessary user input, but that might be overkill. We used Forms Editors, displaying them with an appropriate startup text e.g. 'Parameter1='. The user then types in the parameter, then we check the new Editor text and pull out the info we need.

Forms 10g Migration : Menu attached to form appears on MDI Window.

Hi All ,
On migration of forms 5/6i into forms 10g observed that the Menu Module attached to a form appears on MDI window and not attached to the main window of the form.
How do we ensure that the Menu and the Horizontal toolbar attached to the form appear on the main window of the form and not on the MDI Window ?
Kindly help please ...
Thanks ,

Hi,
I have same issue. Did you find any solution ?
Please let me know.

FRM : 41067 Cannot find menu item id ( forms 10g Menus/Forms Conversion )

Hi All ,
We have menus converted into forms 10g using the forms migration assistant FMA ( frmplsqlconv ) . Now , we had the menus (.mmb) which had used Shared Menus.
After conversion observed that there were some duplicate copies of the shared menus created automatically and each reference where this shared menu was used was replaced by the newly created ones.
Now , when I open the form that uses the menu I get the following error :
FRM : 41067 Cannot find menu item id
On debuggin observed the the above error was generated at :
set_menu_item_property(SHARED_MENU.ITEM,.... )
Not sure how this worked in forms earlier version and not working in 10g now.
Could anyone please let me know how to go about to fix this issue and why is this happening at the first point.
Is re-creating the menu from scratch the only option to resolve the issue ?
Please advise ..
Thanks ,

Hi
Error Message: FRM-41067: Cannot find Menu Item: invalid ID.

Loading image from jars only once in oracle forms 10g

Hi,
I have an oracle forms 10g application which loads image from a jar. Every time i click on a button "A" that loads the image "image" on another button "B" in the same screen, a message is displayed in the java console "Loaded image: jar:https://+IP+/forms/java/+myjar+.jar!/image.gif". So after 10 clicks, i get the same message displayed 10 times. In the form, i've called:
SET_CUSTOM_PROPERTY(p_object_name, 1, 'IMAGE_NAME_ON', '/'||p_image_name);My question is the following:
- is there a way to load this image once and use it later without having to load it every time i clik on "A"? if yes, how?
P.S.: if this thread shouldn't be posted in this forum, please redirect me to the right one.
Thanks in advance

Ah okay.
I'm using the rolloverbutton.jar (RollOver Button PJC) [RolloverButton.java -> authors: Steve Button, Duncan Mills].
Here is the part concerning the IMAGE_NAME_ON function:
// make sure we are in rollover mode
enableRollover();
log("setProperty - IMAGE_NAME_ON value=" + value.toString());
// load the requested image
m_imageNameOn = (String) value;
loadImage(ON,m_imageNameOn);
// reset the currrently drawn image if needed
setImage(ON,m_state);
return true;where loadImage function is:
    URL imageURL = null;
    boolean loadSuccess = false;
    //JAR
    log("Searching JAR for " + imageName);
    imageURL = getClass().getResource(imageName);
    if (imageURL != null)
      log("URL: " + imageURL.toString());
      try
        m_images[which] = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(imageURL);
        loadSuccess = true;

Retrieve image file from FORMS 10G using BLOB

Dear all,
i inserted one record in a table for the following procedure.
Create Or Replace Procedure Blob_Xl Is
l_blob Blob;
l_bfile Bfile;
Begin
Insert Into LOB_TABLE Values ( 'TEST1', Empty_Blob() )
Returning BLOBDATA Into l_blob;
l_bfile := Bfilename( 'TEST1', 'I.JPG');
dbms_lob.fileopen( l_bfile,dbms_lob.file_readonly );
dbms_lob.loadfromfile( l_blob, l_bfile, dbms_lob.getlength( l_bfile ) );
dbms_lob.fileclose( l_bfile );
Commit;
End Blob_Xl;
after that
record also inserted, i check thro count.
i try to retrieve that image from that table for using following procedure, in that procedure i called from one button in forms 10g and wrote in when button pressed , when i clicked it wont show any images.
where i am wrong?
Create Or Replace Procedure get_img As
vblob Blob;
buffer Raw(32000);
buffer_size Integer := 32000;
offset Integer := 1;
Length Number;
Begin
owa_util.mime_header('image/JPG');
Select BLOBDATA Into vblob From LOB_TABLE Where No = 'TEST1';
Length := dbms_lob.getlength(vblob);
While offset < Length Loop
dbms_lob.Read(vblob, buffer_size, offset, buffer);
htp.prn(utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(buffer));
offset := offset + buffer_size;
End Loop;
Exception
When Others Then
htp.p(Sqlerrm);
End;

hi
try something like this for retrieve.May it helps u.
DECLARE
directions CLOB;
directions_1 VARCHAR2(300);
directions_2 VARCHAR2(300);
chars_read_1 BINARY_INTEGER;
chars_read_2 BINARY_INTEGER;
offset INTEGER;
BEGIN
--Retrieve the LOB locator inserted previously
SELECT falls_directions
INTO directions
FROM waterfalls
WHERE falls_name='Munising Falls';
--Begin reading with the first character
offset := 1;
--Attempt to read 229 characters of directions, chars_read_1 will
--be updated with the actual number of characters read
chars_read_1 := 229;
DBMS_LOB.READ(directions, chars_read_1, offset, directions_1);
--If we read 229 characters, update the offset and try to
--read 255 more.
IF chars_read_1 = 229 THEN
offset := offset + chars_read_1;
chars_read_2 := 255;
DBMS_LOB.READ(directions, chars_read_2, offset, directions_2);
ELSE
chars_read_2 := 0;
directions_2 := '';
END IF;
--Display the total number of characters read
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Characters read = ' ||
TO_CHAR(chars_read_1+chars_read_2));
--Display the directions
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(directions_1);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(directions_2);
END;

Jpeg images not displayed in forms 10G

We have images (of different formats) stored in our Oracle 9i database. When we retrieve the images through a form, they display just fine using Forms 6i (client server) but the jpeg images (file extension .jpg originally) do not always display in our Forms 10G front end. What is most disconcerting is that the first image we display does display in the form, but trying to display multiple images at once does not work. The subsequent images display only as a dot in the middle of the space. Note that we also display thumbnails in the same form and this works. And if we retrieve the image from the database and "send" it to a third party product such as Image Pro or MS Photo Editor, it also displays fine. Any suggestions?

Hi,
can you re-create teh images. I remember having similar issues once, which then went away after I recreated the images. If you don't have other images soures than the gif, convert them from gif to jpeg and back. At least it is worth a try.
If you open the icon jar file with winzip, does it show a path with the three icons? Sometimes when creating the jar, it happens that a path gets added with the icons.
