FORMS 6I menu

I want to attach my own menu to a form.
Where do I need to store the mmx so the fmx can run it?
When I store it in the same folder as the fmx I keep on getting the error frm-10221 'cannot read file'.

I assume you are using Forms6i. We should place the .mmx files in Forms60_Path that is set either in Registry Editor
or Default Editor. Even though we do not have our Forms Runtime Executables in forms60_path we can run the form
directly (but we cannot call the same form without specifying the path).

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">
                   <label FOR="iwantto">I WANT TO:</label>

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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 6i Menu Items not Lauchning (FRM-40010: Cannot read form...)

Sorry for the newbie issue - I just haven't been able to figure this out...
I inherited maintenance of a old Oracle Forms Application, I was told it was version 5. And all the source modules were appended with "v05" like form1_v05.fmb, etc. I since discovered that when the users launch it they run against the forms 6i run time - so I guess this means it is actually a forms version 6i application.
The App has about 20 forms, 20 reports and a menu - and no project.
I copied all the source files into a working directory, then I created a project with the project builder using the "use all files in the current directory".
When I run the app ( by drilling down to this app's "logo" form - a splash screen contain our company logo, and a Menu structure it runs fine.
But just about every menu item I attempt to select ( i.e. MENU->Catagory1->OrderForm or in my case something like MENU->Inbound->Entry/Maintenance) results in no new form launching and the status bar contains the error message like "FRM-40010: Cannot read form order_v05.fmx"
In the above example the project does contain a order_v05.fmb, and it compiles fine ( in fact a project "build all" generates no errors or warnings ) - my single working directory contain all the source modules ( like fmb's, rdf's and mmb's) and compiled versions ( fmx's, mmx ) . Specificlly the order_v05.fmx is also there.
So why can't the app find the compiled form compiled in the same project and located in the same directory?
I also see several ERR files but the only thing the err files contain is a whole lot of lines saying things like " Compiling POST-FORM trigger on form... No compilation errors."
Any help getting this beast to run would be appreciated.

I may have a clue as to what is causing the issue, but don't know how to fix it.
I started poking in the menu items, and the child menu item that is supposed to do something runs some "Menu Item code" like this:
begin
hide_window('DLG_MAIN');
CALL_FORM( 'out_order_v05.fmx'
, no_hide
, do_replace
, no_query_only
, no_share_library_data );
show_window('DLG_MAIN');
end;I made a NEW root menu item, with a new child menu item and set it's "Menu Item code" like this:
begin
hide_window('DLG_MAIN');
CALL_FORM( 'C:\Data\_OraFroms\ITFS_V05\order_v05.fmx'
, no_hide
, do_replace
, no_query_only
, no_share_library_data );
show_window('DLG_MAIN');
end;And when I made this change, my new menu item launched the form, but the original one did not ( notice the only difference is my new menu item gives a fully qualified path to the file name ).
So it looks like my project is clueless as to it's own home directory - anyone know how I clue it in?

Forms 6i - menu disable

Hi!
I cleared "Menu Module" property (DEFAULT&SMARTBAR) in my form module, but I still have "Window" menu. Is there way to disable menu at all?
Thank you.

The default menu is DEFAULT&SMARTBAR (Menu Module property on module level). If you remove SMARTBAR, you will have no smartbar at all.

my problem is that i have to populate a list box of called form according to the value supplied by calling form.Declare global variable at calling form and use it in called form to populate list box.
but form is called through menus.There is no issue with the menus.
so first i need to pass that value to the menu .mmx and then menu.mmx will pass that value to calling forms.
so please let me know how can i pass a value from form.fmx to menu.mmx.A global variable is available through out the user session. So it's not any other issue to use in within that session. In same session you can use it where you want.
Hope it's clear to you.

Oracle Terminal settings form Magic menu items

Dear Oracle Developer Community!
Is there any possibility to define any 'Hot Keys' for Magic
menu items via Oracle Terminal such as 'Cut', 'Paste' or 'Copy'?
Sincerely yours,
Elias
null

I think I have stumbled on the cause, and while i don;t exactly have a solution, if i am right then it is not a forms or browser issue.
I develop on Win primary with dual monitors - I just discovered when my browser is in my primary window, the menu items work fine - but if the browser is on my other monitor, then the menu items don't work.
Perhaps the forms blackend engine is only monitoring the primary monitor for key clicks at least on the menu bar...
...still weird behavior, but I no longer thing this is a issue.

Open/Close form from Menu

I am having a frustrating problem! I am trying to set up a menu that will open a form ('Open_Form('myform')) and close the current form. Opening the new form is no problem, but I can't seem to find the code to close the first form. This can't be that difficult! Can anyone help?
Thanks

Set Hyperlinks in Form List/Menu?

I'm new to adding form items to my sites and I'm wondering if
it's possible to set each item in a drop down menu to hyperlink to
another site. I'm sure it is, but I'm missing where you place the
link. I thought perhaps it went in the value field, but realize now
it doesn't. Or is there another method I should use to create a
link menu?

This is helpful - thank you for the reply. However, this is all code and looks pretty complex to me.
It's not hard. Just work through the tuts and learn to not be afraid of code view.
Sure wish there was a solution in design mode (with just a little code checking).

Oracle Forms Personalization - Menu Icon

Hello, hopefully a quick question. Looking at forms personalization and want to add a new menu item. I can achieve this using Forms Personalization no problem. My question is regarding the 'Icon Name' field for the Action Type of Menu. I understand that this is asking for a .ico file to display in the toolbar, however I'm not sure where to place this .ico file on the file system for it to be picked up? Any thoughts?
Thanks

Thanks.
Basically in the Forms Personalization Form for an Action Type of "Menu" there is a parameter called "Icon Name". According to the Forms Personalization documentation (279034.1) the definition for this field is:
"Icon Name: Specify an optional icon name that you want added to the Toolbar to achieve the same functionality as in the special pulldown menu entry"
I tried specifying one of the icons in the directory you mention below: afattach.gif (even tried just afattach) to see if that would render on the Toolbar, but no luck.
Any thoughts on what is required for this field?
Thanks
