Forms 6i Tabs!

I'm trying to build a 6i Form w/ Tabs and I'm using the tab handler template, fndtabs.txt. However, its not working correcty and I was wondering if anyone's encountered similar problems and how they were solved. Thank You.

You can't change the font or color of a tab-page-"header". You can only change the text (maybe put the number of records in brackets behind the text)

Form Editor tabs don't work

After upgrading to Java 1.4.1_02, the compile would no longer work so I reinstalled Sun ONE Studio. Now I can compile, but the Form Editor tabs for Layouts, Swing, etc don't work. No response except a 2mm line moves around in the directly under the tabs. No selections appear anymore. Help anyone?

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

Integrating mutiple forms into one form using tab canvas

Hi everyone,
I'm relatively new to Forms 6.0 and also to this discussion. Could somebody please explain the pros/cons while integrating 8 maintenance forms into one form(Each page in the tab canvas representing one form)?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Aruna

If the maintenance forms are small, you can integrate them into a single form with a tab canvas, although 8 may prove difficult--try it and see what it looks like to have eight tab pages. Make sure the first block and field in the form navigator is the field you want to show at startup.
You would use multiple forms (1) to modularize largish chunks of complex code that don't interact with each other (2) to decouple logically separate applications (3) to decouple reusable modules that you can then pop into other applications (4) to create shareable components to share through an object library into base forms.
In your case, the main issue is the logical separation with reusability also raising its head. Each form is logically distinct for maintaining a specific set of tables, so putting it in a separate form makes sense. It would also allow you to reuse the maintenance forms in different applications without including everything. This might be a security issue, for example--some apps might need access to only some of the 8 forms.
Tab pages are also not as easily formatted as you might like, so check it out before assuming that tab page interfaces in Forms are your solution.

Oracle Forms 10G(tabbed canvasses not working the same as in Forms 6i)

Hi everyone,
I have a form which gets called from another form through a list of value. The called form(second form) has a group of tabbed canvases which get displayed depending on the parameters passed from the first form.
The Form is working prefectly fine in Forms 6i but when I converted the same form in to forms 10G it does not seem to work the same way. The tabbed canvasses are not getting displayed. I am manually having to press the execute query to get data displayed in the tabbed canvasses. I checked the parameters that are being passed and they are the same as that in Forms 6i.
Please let me know where my 10G Form is going wrong. Appreciate your help, please send me an email on [email protected]
Thanks

Forms 5 Tab Canvas & Horizontal Scrollbar

We are trying to implement a tab canvas which will hold a multi-record data block. The difficulty is that we would like to display a lot of fields and there is no Horizontal Scrollbar easily available for the Tab Canvas.
We are thinking about "simulating" a tab canvas by using stacked canvases. The stacked canvas allows us to have the scrollbar, but looses some of the look & feel of a tab canvas.
Anyone try to do this in Forms 5? How about anyone try to place a stacked canvas on top of a tab canvas?

We're using forms 6.0.8.8. Our standard practice is to never put items on a tab canvas, instead we put stacked canvas' on the tab canvas. Besides having canvas scroll bars, it also provides a basis to work around documented bugs for refreshing/resizing windows when returning from other forms/windows of different sizes etc.

Add Content Convas to a Form with Tab Canvas

Hi,
I have a From with the tab Canvas (with 3 tabs). I wanted to provide few buttons which are common to all the tabs.
How can i do it?
I know of one way that it can be done is to add the tab canvas to the content canvas and then put the buttons on the Content Canvas. I can't seem to add it(Content Canvas) to the existing form. I tried using a fresh form and then copying the existing tab canvas on to it, it doesn't work.
I don't want to recreate this tab canvas as I have lots of code that has been added to the tab pages.
Is there a way to solve my problem ?
Appreciating in Advance.
Reena

Hi Reena,
Create the content canvas. go to layout editor.
Go to View --> Stacked Views on the menu.
select the tab canvas and say ok.
Now go to Edit --> Select all. Deselect the new content canvas .
Move all these selected items on the tab canvas down so that you can have enough space on the top of content canvas.
Cheers.

Form with Tab Canvas

Hi,
I've a form with 12 blocks. We are displaying the these twelve blocks in the tab canvases(Tab attachment Edge: Top). The problem with these tab canvas is user can see only the names of 4 tab canvases. Then he need to navigate using the scrollbar. But the user requirement is that he needs to see all the tabs above in multiple rows. i.e.., In the first row he needs 4 tabs and then in the next line he needs another 4 tabs etc. He do not want to change the Tab attachment Edge to Right/Left. I'm using Forms 6i version. Thanks in advance.

PJC tab-key navigation problem within bean (FORMS intercepting tab key??)

Using Forms 10.1.2.3, IE7, JRE 1.6
When attempting to navigate within the bean area, it appears as if FORMS is suppressing the keyEvent when the tab key is pressed. This means that I cannot use tab or shift-tab to navigate within the PJC's editable fields/buttons. I can click on them, enter data within them, but tab is somehow intercepted. When I place my PJC within a normal (non-forms) Java window, everything works fine.
Documentation that I've read seems to indicate that tab should navigate perfectly fine within the bean area.
Any ideas?

Hi,
This is how I did it. Sorry about the formatting, it was OK when I pasted the code fragment in.
My class contains this in the variable definitions.
private AWTEventListener keyListener = new DoKey ();
private class DoKey implements AWTEventListener {
public void eventDispatched (AWTEvent e) {
//System.err.println("eventDispatched " + e.toString());
//System.err.println("eventDispatched source " + e.getSource().toString());
if ((e instanceof KeyEvent) && (e.getSource() instanceof Component)) {
* The event was a key pressed event and it was sourced from a Component.
KeyEvent evt = (KeyEvent) e;
if (evt.getID() == evt.KEY_PRESSED) {
if (evt.getKeyCode() == evt.VK_TAB) {
if (evt.isShiftDown()) {
((Component)e.getSource()).transferFocusBackward();
else {
((Component)e.getSource()).transferFocus();
The listener is enabled when on initialisation
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().addAWTEventListener (keyListener, AWTEvent.KEY_EVENT_MASK);

Forms 9i tab pages inside a tab page

hi,
i m using forms 9i, is it possible to set a tab page inside a tab page
ie i have a master tab page called 'Office' and i have to add two tab pages
called 'excel', 'word' as the sub of this main tab..is it possible.......?
if yes how ?
thanks in advance
KK

You can create the illusion of this though using stacked and tabbed canvases. Make the main tab small so that it only displays the labels and then display the other stacked or tabbed canvases dependent upon which tab the user selects. We've done something similar to this and it works pretty well.

Forms Personalizations- Tab Page Change

Hello all,
Is there a way to use Forms Personaizations to activate a specific TAB page in a block in Forms (EBS 11i10 or 12)? Sometimes a block spans across multiple tab pages and even the focus is on a specific field, the corresponding tab page does not open.
Please let me know if you have any ideas on how to accomplsish this. If there is a different forum for Forms Personalizations, please let me know so I can repost the question there.
Thanks,
Nat.

Nat,
I did not try this myself, but did you check "Forms Personalization" documents (especially the limitation document)?

Opening update form in tab of existing flash cfform

Ok, I may be asking way to much here so please do tell me if
so!
I have a flash form, it contains a data grid, I have an
update button which passes the id to another cfform on a new page
to update the database feeding the cfgrid. However, what i would
love to achieve is if I can click on update, but it opens the
update form (prefilled) in a new tab of my existing form, and then
when i update it it just reloads the form showing the first page
with the grid on.
Is there anyway to do this? I am more than happy to follow a
tutorial if there is one
Many thanks for any help in advance

Hi Amarnath,
Thanks for your reply on this .
Yeah design of SmartView is such it will open in current sheet, but we were looking for making something like SmartView to open every form in new sheet. Its been considered as a enhancement request by oracle and hope to see it somewhere in next versions.
Thanks

Hi WWRACHELB,
Try using custom order of fields in 'TAB Order' (window--> Tab Order) if that solves your problem.
