Forms 6i menu creation

Hello everyone,
Anyone have the steps on how to create a menu in Forms 6i? After having created it, how can I run it?
Thanks in advance

hi
try something like this.
There is an easier way to get the "toolbar" you want to have.
1. Build a mmb with all the functions you want to have both in the menu and in the toolbar.
2. For each menuitem, you can define in the properties
- If it should be shown in the menu, then set "Visible In Menu" to Yes
- If it should be shon in the horizontal toolbar (or vertical toolbar), then set "Visible In Horizontal Menu Toolbar" ("Visible In Vertical Menu Toolbar") to Yes
- For showing an item in a toolbar, you will have to set the property "Icon Name" additionally to the name of an existing icon (the same way you do for buttons)
3. Compile and generate the menu
4. Build a form and attach your menu as Menu-Module in the properties of the form
if its correct/helpful please mark it thanks.

Properties - automatic menu creation

Hi there,
I'm currently working on a project that is frequently being changed and therefore I require a method to facilitate the creation of its menu.
I am hoping to use a properties file to describe the contents of the menu and also which Actions each menu item will use.
Does anyone out there have any code that exhibits this sort of behaviour, since I am having a bit of trouble in creating a robust system to do this; currently I have:
a Properties file such as:
# start of properties file
menus = file edit # all of the menus
menuitems = open open_recent save new global_options # the menu items
file.children = open open_recent save new # the menu items of the file menu
edit.children = global_options # the menu items of the edit menu
open.text = Open # the text to appear on the menu item
open.action = OpenAction # there is a class called OpenAction which provides the behaviour of this menu item
open.gif = open.gif # the icon gif file for this menu item
# .. now do the same for each other menu item
# end of properties file
Now in the source code I iterate through this file and store all of the menus and menu items in a hash table. Using the menu.children bit above I add the relationships of menu items (or other menus) to the menus. Then I add the text, action, and gif to the menu items.
However, this way kind of works but is quite long winded; also it bumps into problems whenever I add menus to menus.
If some one out there has previously done this before and are willing to share their code with me I would be ever so grateful. Else any suggestions would be extremely well received.
thanks in advance

What we are using for dynamic menu creation is XML.
Something Like:
<Menu name="Setup">
<MenuItem name="Security" class="com.epservices.apps.security.Security" args="" />
<MenuItem name="Parent Company" class="com.epservices.apps.parentco.ParentCompany" args="" />
<MenuItem name="Company" class="com.epservices.apps.company.Company" args="" />
</Menu>
<Menu name="Tax Set up">
<MenuItem name="Tax Authority" class="com.epservices.apps.taxauthority.TaxAuthority" args="" />
<MenuItem name="Tax Form" class="com.epservices.apps.taxform.TaxForm" args="" />
<MenuItem name="Tax Code" class="com.epservices.apps.taxcode.TaxCode" args="" />
</Menu>Then we simply parse it using SAX and build the structure.
Here's a great article on mapping XML to Java objects:

Error while calling a form from another form's menu item

I created a main form and menu module for this form.
I am calling another form from main form menu item.
i moved both the forms and menu and compiled them.
But, when i run this form i am getting an error saying
FRM 92100: Your connection to the server was interrupted
This may be the result of a network error, or a failure on the server.
You will need to establish your session.
I set the seperateframe = true
networkentries = 30
But still getting the same error.
Is there any parameter that i am missing.
I will greatly appreciate if anybody can direct me to the solution.
Thank you.

How do I make my form (list/menu) items open in the same window (self).

Hello, the kind, brilliant people on this forum have always been able to help me in the past, so I thought I'd give it a try today. Items in a form (list/menu) that I've created are opening in a blank window (pop-up) when clicked. I would like them to open in "self" mode so that pop up blockers on various computers don't become a challenge for site visitors. Can anyone please tell me how I could make that adjustment? I selected the entire form "red dotted line" around the list and changed the "target" in the properties menu to "self". Then I selected everything on the page and still not correct. I am inserting the code below. Any assistance to get me on the right track would be GREATLY appreciated!! BTW I also made the form a library item (just in case that fact is needed). Also if you need to see the actual link it is http://www.graphicmechanic.com/DEKALBCOUNTY/index.html. The "I WANT TO" list is the part I'm referring to.
CODE BELOW:
<form action="" method="post" name="form1" target="_self" class="style26" id="form1">
                   <a href="#" target="_self"><span class="style26">

Looks like it still isn't working. When I removed those items the drop down menu stopped working as well. I went ahead and posted yours as the correct answer. I'm convinced it's my skill level. i'm gonna do some javascript searches to see where the js code should go, it's very confusing to me. Here is that code in case anything sticks out to you or anyone else.

Change Background in Menu Creation Encore CS4 and Photoshop

I am creating a menu using Encore and Photoshop. I Used the Encore Libray to create a blank background and also created a series of buttons adusting them in Photoshop CS4. However, when I try to change the background with a new jpg or psd file I open the picture in Photoshop but not as the new background layer I am trying to achieve. Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong?

Dear Bill,
Thank you for your prompt reply. However, I don't think I am explaining my problem correctly so if you have the patience I am sending you this little "Jing" movie which will show you my problem

Subject: Change Background in Menu Creation Encore CS4 and Photoshop
There should be no problem when adding the image of your choice, with Edit in Photoshop.
When you choose Edit in Photoshop, several things happen:
1.) a TMP PSD for that Menu is created.
2.) links are created between En and PS
3.) PS is launched, and that TMP PSD is then Opened in PS.
When one has edited that TMP PSD in PS, they must do a Save to allow those links back to En*.
If you are doing a Save_As, or Save_As_a_Copy, those links will NOT be followed, and the Menu will NOT update in En.
Good luck,
Hunt
I have encountered some instances, where a single Save does not follow those links. With experimentation, I have found that 3 Saves (Ctrl+S) will force those links to be followed, and the Menu updated in En. Not sure why this happens sometimes, but 3 seems to be the "magic number," at least for me.

Dynamic Form list/menu

I'm trying to insert a dynamicly generated form list/menu dropdown item.
Everything works but the list always shows me the last record from the database as the first item in the list (ASC or DESC).
I want to put a dummy label as the first item in the list like: Select from list
How can i do this, because even if i put a static value in the value list items, it still shows the last item from the recordset first instead of the static value.
Does anybody have an idea how i can create a dynamic pulldown list in my form with the first item listed to be a statich dummy tekst or label like "Select from list etc"
Thanks,

I created a normal recordset with Dreamweaver getting tea
m_id and team_names out of the database. Then i list the teamnames in a form list/
menu (dropdown) to show all the available teams. Again it shows me the last record from the
recordset as the first list item and i want a standard "select this" text or something default.
The form code below is generated by dreamweaver itself. I already tried to also put one static value in the value list property but i get the same result. To me it looks like the while loop is overriding whatever you put as static text.
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
<label for="list_teams">Teams:</label>
<select name="list_teams" id="list_teams">
    <?php
do {
?>
    <option value="<?php echo $row_Teams['team_id']?>"<?php if (!(strcmp($row_Teams['team_id'], $row_Teams['team_id']))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";} ?>><?php echo $row_Teams['team_name']?></option>
    <?php
} while ($row_Teams = mysql_fetch_assoc($Teams));
$rows = mysql_num_rows($Teams);
if($rows > 0) {
      mysql_data_seek($Teams, 0);
   $row_Teams = mysql_fetch_assoc($Teams);
?>
</select>
</form>

My form pages menu/list pull down items aren't legible in Firefox

I'm using the form item - menu/list - set to menu. It looks great in safari, but in firefox the list of items are scrunched together and not legible. How can this be avoided or styled?

Please when asking for help provide a link so that people can see the result and the code. Otherwise it is just a big guessing game.

Menu Creation in PE12

Is the menu creation any different in PE12 compared to 11? I was very unhappy with the low resolution DVD menus and Blu-ray (just aweful) menus when creating my own custom menus using my high resolution pictures. Really Adobe is this all you can give us in PE11? Power Director 12 creates beautiful high resolution custom menus but the drawback was interlaced DVD?! I want to use Adobe for progressive DVDs if they can get the menus to look decent. Any help is appreciated.

I just wanted to make sure that you were talking about AVCHD format burned to DVD disc and not DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc.
All the Premiere Elements 12 burn to have 29.97 or 25 interlaced frames per second frame rates except two under AVCHD DVD, both with 23.976 progressive frames per second frame rate
H.264 1920 x 1080p NTSC Dolby
H.264 1440 x 1080p NTSC Dolby
We aware that the project preset selected to match the properties of your source media will direct the program as to which version of the disc menu .psd sets to make available to you s, w, hd.(standard, standard widescreen, or high definition).
All the s and w psd sets are at Image Size 720 x 576 whether the project is NTSC or PAL. The hd set is typically 1440 x 1080. More on that another time. What is the original pixel dimensions of these photo inserts for the disc menu? What version of Photoshop do you intend to create these menus in?

Calling reports in forms through menu

hi
can anybody tell me how to call reports in forms through menu
i just forgot how to call...
exact menu item code!!
rgds,

Hi,
Just use in-builts RUN_REPORT_OBJECT or RUN_PRODUCT. It is recomended to use teh RUN_REPORT_OBJECT. For more help see the built-in help of forms. In code on menu write all the code for passing parameters to report by making a parameter list and passing it to report when calling it.
Help in forms for RUN_REPORT_OBJECT will clarify your all doubts.

Best Menu creation program for DW

Just upgraded to CS3 and, consequently, following the herd to
Dreamweaver.
Could anyone recommend a Mac-based menu creation plugin that
might work as well as MenuMachine?

I'm not familiar with MenuMachine, but you might find a menu
system from
Project VII that will work:
http://www.projectseven.com/products/menusystems/index.htm
The tools are flexible and powerful and very easy to use and
customize.
Their support is absolutely the best.

Android Adobe DPS viewer. HTML form dropdown menu closes everytime the viewer navigation pops up.

I have a web content page which contains a form dropdown menu: <select><option></option></select> ... and so on. I use this as a small filter to narrow a result.
When I tap the screen, this dropdown menu is shown and works correctly on an iPad. As a side effect the navigation from the Adobe DPS viewer is also shown although this doesn't interfere with the dropdown menu in the HTML. Both are shown.
On an Android tablet, the html dropdown menu is shown for a fraction of a second until the Adobe DPS viewer navigation pops up. The HTML dropdown menu just won't stay visible.
My question: How can I solve this? How can I make the HTML dropdown visible on an Android tablet? Or how can I prevent the DPS viewer navigation from showing?
Thanks

This phenomenon does not happen on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. While not showing the dropdown menu as on an iPad it shows it as a scrollable menu at the bottom.
