Forms 6i interchangeble menu

Hi,
Here is my dilemma. I have a main menu with a sub menu. The sub menu can be called from all over the application. When form A selects form B from the sub menu it should open up another form C. How ever if I am in another screen and selects from the sub menu to open up form B it should not open up form C.
I pass main parameters like an application number to form C. However how do I find out what the form I am in when I invoke form C?
Any comments much appreacited...

You can use *:system.current_form* built in to know which form is currently executing.
Then you can decide from which all forms you want form C to be allowed to open.
Hope this helps.
Please mark answer as helpful / correct, if it helps you

How To Remove Standard CheckIn Form in CheckIn menu option list

Hi to all.
I need To Remove Standard CheckIn Form in CheckIn menu option list.
I want to use only my customized profiles.
Is there any doc or sample related.
Thanks in advance,
Soni

Unfortuantely, you must create your own custom component. I'm not going to explain how to do that since that requires a lot of typing, but if/when you decide to tackle that, you will need to include this in your resource file:
<@dynamichtml custom_finish_layout_init@>
<$include super.custom_finish_layout_init$>
navBuilder.deleteItem('MY_PERSONAL_CHECKINS_'+pneCheckinDocProfiles.length);
<@end@>
However, keep in mind this is what I use for my content server (10gR3 with CS10gR3CoreUpdate component, build 186). I have no idea what future patches may or may not have done with profile naming conventions or changes. I'm confident this will still work, but cannot be for certain.
Good luck.
PS. Please award points if deemed necessary

How to deploy Forms, Reports and Menu from Client to Server machine

Dear Experts,
I have one requirement to deploy the Forms, Reports and Menu from client machine to server machine.
Deployment involves the following steps :
1. Firstly we have to search the selected file in a folder where the .fmx is present ( in Server machine) and take the back up of the the existing file in the server (Source and destination paths will be available).
Ex. If the existing FMB name is TEST.fmx then the backup file should be TEST_sysdate.fmx.
2. Secondly we have to transfer the file from the client folder (or from another folder of the same server) to the server folder where the back up exists.
Please help me to search/rename/copy/replace the _.fmx/.rdf/.rep/.mmx_ files from client to server.
We are using
9i Database.
10g Forms and reports.
SQL Developer tool.
OS is Windows (Client and Server).
Help me out to attach a file of front end screen which we are planning to develop. It will give a clear picture on this requirement.
Thanks :)

Welcome to the forum. Please take a while to go through the FAQ to be found to the top right of the page.
Your issue is more to do with batch files rather than Forms. The only relation with Forms, as I see it, is that you will be using HOST/CLIENT_HOST to start a batch file with the file name to be deployed as a parameter passed to it.
You need to rewrite either a CMD batch file or a Powershell script to achieve what have set out to do.
For CMD batch files look up http://www.robvanderwoude.com/battech.php , or any of the other excellent resources available on the internet.

Applicaiton form hangs when trying to make C# form visible from menu event

I have a MDI windows app, running as an addon on Verion 2007A
The applicaion is written in C# ( VS 2005)
I am a newbee to C# ( VS too ) as well.
All I want is to display the MDI container form when a menu is clicked. But the windows form hangs forever, and does not show.
if I try to show the form within Main method then no issues! The problem happens only off the SBO menu event .
I cannot have the form loaded all the time. so I need the services of the SBO menu click, so a user can open it whenever he wants.
Note: I can open any other form off the menu click, but that , provided they are not MDI containers and they are opened with ShowDialog(); If I use Show(); then again hangs.
I tried opening the MDI form in Main method, ( wich of course works) and hide it when not needed. I could hide the form, but when I issued a command myForm.visible = true; through the SBO menu event, again hangs!
my applicaion Main function is as follows. The class AA_SBO_MAIN holds the SBO application events.
static void Main()
            Application.EnableVisualStyles();
            Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
            Classes.AA_SBO_MAIN oSBOMain = null;
            oSBOMain = new Classes.AA_SBO_MAIN();
             Application.Run();
the menu event simply does
              frmMain fm = new frmMain();
              fm.Visible = true;

Hi
I try doing these few steps and it seems to work! The code is in Visual Basic though!
Declare the form variable
Private mMDI As New frmMDI
In your menu click event enter a code like this
If mMDI Is Nothing Then mMDI = New frmMDI
mMDI.Visible = True
On your startup function do something like this
Public Sub New()
       mMDI.Show() : mMDI.Visible = False
End Sub
And more important ... in the form class comment all the code inside the Dispose method
and finally do the following
Private Sub frmMDI_Closed(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Closed
        Me.Hide()
End Sub
it seems to work for me . Hope it helps you too!

Pass parameters between forms using a menu

I use a menu to switch forms. However, I have problems to pass paramenters between the froms.
Any suggestions ? Thanks.

There are 2 means:
1. The most simple to code is to use global vars. Still, you may get into some trouble managing them (erasing them when you no longer need them).
2. Use parameter lists. RTM about that. It's a bit complicated, but feisable, allowing to pass params whe using open_form or run_product (run_report).
One more thing: when referencing forms items from menu code you have to use name_in(), and for assigning values to form-items using menu code you have to use copy().

Oracle forms standard/default menu - Record Delete option

Hi ,
Oracle forms provides a standard menu with the below options.
Action , Query , Block , Record , Help etc.
Under each of these Menu options there are sub options.
Eg: Under Record we have Previous , Next , Insert , Delete etc.
Can someone please tell me how to control this menu item options for different forms.
Eg: for 1 form i want to allow the Record - Delete option but for another form i dont want to give this option.
How to do this ??
Please help....
I tried to search for the solution but couldnt get the right answer. Hope someone will help me out here.
Regards,
SRT

Hello,
The Oracle Forms documentation states:
The Default menu is built-in to every form, and is not a separate menu module.
You cannot change the structure of the Default menu or edit the menu items it
displays.
If your application requires
unique menu functions, you must create a custom menu module and attach it to
your form.
If the internal default menu almost meets your needs, you can attach the
"menudef.mmb" approximation of the default menu to the form. You can then
rename and edit this menu.
You can download the demo version for 10g R2 and menudefs_10g.mmb is included with the demos.
http://download.oracle.com/otndocs/demos/Forms_Demos_10gr2.zip
You will get menudef_10g.mmb and menudefs_10g.mmb.
If needed check metalink note:
Differences between menudef.mmb and menudefs.mmb menu files. [ID 1081136.1]
Kind regards,
Alex

How to use default UDO form from new menu

Hello,
I've created a UDO form which shows just the code field and the name field on a matrix.
Is it possible to call this default form from a new created menu?
Thank you

Hello,
If you don't want to keep using the default form - just launch it from somewhere else, simply "Activate" the appropriate menu item.
Remember that in SAP Business One 2004 every menu item has its own UniqueID. You might want to check-out the sample "AddingMenuItems" from the SDK-CD installation...;
it has some code (commented out) that will save the menu in a XML file...
Maybe you have to check the menu string for the appropriate default form as well, if you want to make the code generic.
Regards,
Frank

Using the same field on a form for multiple menu/drop down list

I have a form that tracks people that attend orientations. It is possible for an Attendee to attend the same orientation up to three times.
In using the Update record wizard, I have two recordsets, rsAttendees and rsOrientation from two separate tables.
I want to be able to use the rsOrientation to create a drop down list, but I want to use that same recordset field as the source for the dropdown 3 times on the same record.
There are 3 fields on the Attendee form:
Orientation1, Orientation2, and Orientation3.
Using the wizard, I set each up as a Menu, then select the rsOrientation, Orientation.Date as the source for all 3.
The problem is that only the Orientation1 field is populated. Orientation2 and Orientation3 dropdowns are blank.
Name:________________________
Orientation1: __________________<-----------Using Wizard, pull Menu list from Orientation.Date This one works fine
Orientation2: __________________<-----------Using Wizard, pull Menu list from Orientation.Date This one is blank
Orientation3: __________________<-----------Using Wizard, pull Menu list from Orientation.Date This one is blank
Do I need to reset the rs somehow?

>Do I need to reset the rs somehow?
Very possible. You haven't mentioned what server model you are using.

List of Called Forms Under Window Menu

Hello,
Environment : Forms 6i c/s
As everyone knows, whenever you call a form, all the called form's window name will appear under the WINDOWS menu. However while calling a form in QUERY-ONLY mode the CALLING form's window name disappear from the list,is it Form's default behaviour?

This is due to the modality of the called form - you cannot navigate back to the calling form whilst the called form is still open. If you want to be able to navigate to the caller then use OPEN_FORM instead.

PDF form drop-down menu

Is it possible to have a drop down menu in a PDF form that when one of the options is selected automatically greys out and locks another section of the form?
Cheers

Set these values as the export values of each of the choices in the
dropdown and then you could simply use it in the built-in Product option
under the Calculate tab of the total field.

Forms 9i web menu

Hi,
I have a menu which has a large number of items on it in the horizontal direction. This caused the menu to have a left and right scrollbar arrows so that the user can scroll for all the menu options.
In previous versions of forms the menu would not do this but it would wrap onto a new line. Is there a configuration setting/property that I can apply to get my menu to wrap?
Thanks.

This is the behavior of Forms when web-deployed -- see bug 2690383. There's no way to change it.

Forms 6i: hiding menu

(This application is retrieveing data thru multiple users)
i'm checking on New-Form-Instance trigger the username.
declare
var_user varchar2(50);
begin
var_user:=get_application_property(username);
If var_user != 'GLADIATORS' then
hide_menu();
message(var_user);
end if;
other statements
end;
but it is not hiding the menu it is also not giving any error msg. although it displays the current user.
any suggestions how can i implement the same thing ?
also advise how can i drop the active connection and connect thru some other user?

Hide_Menu is used in character mode UI. You should use the SET_MENU_PROPERTY(...,VISIBLE) built-in to hide each individual menu item.
To connect using a different user, use the LOGON built-in.
