Forms in a seperate Window / Frame (Tip / Solution)

Hello all,
I think I have a nice solution for the problem to start Oracle Forms in a separate window without an additional Iexplorer Window (not working for Firefox ,
Webstart is not possible because you don't get the env from default.env).
So I tell you that, I hope it helps :
What does the developer do.
He uses a javascript to open new window and copy the original webutiljpi.htm into this new window. Then he closes the main window and reload the new one.
That is all
webutiljp_wini.htm

SITUATION:
Usually the forms applet can be started with either 'separateFrame=true' (which will result in an internetexplorer-window being opened, followed by a second window containg the applet) or with 'separateFrame=false' (which will result in the applet being displayed within the standard internetexplorer-window).
Disadvantages of the first method are:
- two tasks visible in windows taskbar, potentialle irritating for customers as the IE-window doesn't seem to be good for anything
- the applet will close/crash on the internetexplorer-window accidentally being closed or another URL being entered
Main disadvantage of the second method is that so far we have not been able to hide this window's locationbar, menubar etc.
SOLUTION:
Via JavaScript it is possible to open and close windows and under certain circumstances it is possible to do this without a popup asking for acknowledgement of the action being raised.
The JS-function works as follows:
1) assign the original html-code to a variable
2) assign a name (e.g. 'opener') to the current window
3) open a blank page in a new window. For this window we do not specify a name as this would prevent us from being able to open several applets in different windows (i.e. starting a second applet would cause the first applet's window to be used and thus the first applet to be closed).
4) next, we have to replace some substrings within our variable for parsing reasons
5) write the variable's content to the new window
6) open any page in the window named 'opener' (e.g. 'about:blank') and refer to this window's opener. These two steps enable us to close the window without a popup being displayed.
7) now there's only our applet window being displayed. For some yet unknown reason, the applet itself won't be executed without a reload-command.
Note: Working with IE7 (with multiple tabs), the '.close()'-operation will not close the IE-window but the current tab.
CHANGES (HTML):
Regarding the main changes, it's not really about the code of the standard HTML page but rather about displaying this page programmatically via javascript within a new window which therefore can be customized (menubar, locationbar, size, resizability etc.).
So what we're doing is mainly creating a wrapper for the original HTML page.
It might also be possible to have the standard HTML page's code in a separate file that is being loaded from within the script, but this would result in 2 files necessary (the wrapper script and the html page) and we haven't checked if the replacement of variables (%VARNAME%) that is done by forms will still work.

Applet loading as seperate window

Hi,
I'm porting jEdit's help system into an applet form. Its complete, except for an annoyance - it loads as a seperate window, leaving a dead HTML page behind. I'd like to instead embed the applet inside the HTML page, so I can have a link create a popup window. As it is now, if you close the HTML page it closes the applet.
I used the generic jBuilder code to create the applet, and added this like to start()
HelpViewer frame = new HelpViewer();
The GUI is created using in the HelpViewer's constructor:
/** HelpViewer
* Creates a new HelpViewer for specified URL
* @param URL
public HelpViewer(String url)
this.setTitle("Insight Help");
utilities = MiscUtilities.getInstance();
// Chack if valid URL
try
// Check if protocal included
new URL(url).getProtocol();
// Valid protocol, so if pointing to specific HTML file, remove
Log.log(Log.ERROR, this, "Parse URL for hostname");
catch (MalformedURLException e)
// No protocol - therefore assume local
if (e.getMessage().startsWith("no protocol"))
baseURL = utilities.getRemoteURL() + "/docs/";
else
Log.log(Log.ERROR, this, e.getMessage());
//Set to error page?
// Create history
history = new String[25];
ActionHandler actionListener = new ActionHandler();
// Setup tabs
JTabbedPane tabs = new JTabbedPane();
tabs.addTab("Contents", toc = new HelpTOCPanel(this));
tabs.addTab("Search", new HelpSearchPanel(this));
tabs.addTab("Glossary", new HelpGlossary(this));
tabs.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(0,0));
// Setup toolbar
JToolBar toolBar = new JToolBar();

toolBar.add(title = new JLabel()); // title of current page
toolBar.add(Box.createGlue());

buttons.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(0,12,0,0));
// Add back button
back = new JButton(utilities.loadIcon("ArrowL.png"));
back.setToolTipText("Back");
back.addActionListener(actionListener);

// Add forward button
forward = new JButton(utilities.loadIcon("ArrowR.png"));
forward.setToolTipText("Forward");
forward.addActionListener(actionListener);

back.setPreferredSize(forward.getPreferredSize());
// Add home button
home = new JButton(utilities.loadIcon("Home.png"));
home.setToolTipText("Home");
home.addActionListener(actionListener);
toolBar.add(home);
// Add toolbar to panel

rightPanel.add(BorderLayout.NORTH,toolBar);
// Setup Viewer Panel
viewer = new JEditorPane();
viewer.setEditable(false);
viewer.addHyperlinkListener(new LinkHandler());
viewer.setFont(new Font("Monospaced",Font.PLAIN,12));
viewer.addPropertyChangeListener(new PropertyChangeHandler());
rightPanel.add(BorderLayout.CENTER,new JScrollPane(viewer));
// Split Pane
splitter = new JSplitPane(JSplitPane.HORIZONTAL_SPLIT, tabs, rightPanel);
splitter.setBorder(null);
getContentPane().add(BorderLayout.CENTER,splitter);
setDefaultCloseOperation(DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
getRootPane().setPreferredSize(new Dimension(750,500));
pack(); // causes window to fit the preferred size
setVisible(true);
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
public void run()
splitter.setDividerLocation(250);
viewer.requestFocus();
gotoURL(url,true);
Any advice would be appreciated!

There are 2 possible solution.
1. Do not leave that window empty. I.e. write there a message "DO NOT CLOSE THIS WINDOW"
2. Do not open new frame. Add all components to your applet. This is not very difficult.

Urgent help needed to setup Forms 6i Server on Windows Server 2003

Hello,
I am trying to install Forms 6i Server from the Forms/Reports 6i Release 2 CD onto a server with Windows Server 2003 Standard Editon (services pack 1) installed.
The Oracle Installer produced the following error when I tried to install the Forms 6i Server From the Forms/Reports 6i Release 2 CD:

PDF launched in/out of CHM window frame

Hi,
I have a couple of .chms developed with RH 7. In these, I have a couple of merged CHMs that contain topics whose only function is to launch a PDF file.
The HTML/JS code that does this is below. It is not clear to me that this code has anything to do with what I am seeing. I don't know where the script came from. If there is a better way, please share it!
My prefererence is to have the PDF launched within the CHM's window frame. And it does do this, but only when the CHM is launched by another program. So if you view the "primary layout" from withing RH and select the topic, the .pdf opens up right in the frame.   This is also the case if the .chm is launched from our application executable using HTMLHelp() from the Windows SDK.
But, if you click on the .CHM file and open it directly from windows, when you select the topic that maps to the .PDF, the .PDF is opened in an independent launch of Adobe Reader, not in the .CHM frame.
Does anyone know why this works this way, and if there is a way to correct it? I would like the operator to be able to open the .CHM directly and still have the .PDF displayed within that frame.
Thanks.
Suzanne.
Here is the HTML code that launches the .PDF:
<html><head>
<meta stuff blah blah blah...>
<title>External PDF</title>
<script LANGUAGE=JavaScript TYPE="text/javascript" src="SomeScripts.js"></script>
</head>
<body onLoad="parser('../FolderName/Filename.pdf')">
<h1 style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">External PDF</h1>
<p> </p>
</body>
</html>
Here is the script:
function parser(fn)
var X, Y, sl, a, ra, link;
ra = /:/;
a = location.href.search(ra);
if (a == 2)
X = 14;
else
X = 7;
sl = "\\";
Y = location.href.lastIndexOf(sl) + 1;
link = 'file:///' + location.href.substring(X, Y) + fn;
location.href = link;

The only other (still similar) method is to touch at the bottom of the active screen and drag SLOWLY up to place it in the corner, it will slow down the animation some, but still basically the same.
Otherwise, there is not a way to disable that.

Rounded/curved edge/corner in page window frame/box of SAPscript

Hello,
Can anyone tell me whether SAP ECC6.0 has any functionality which allows a page window frame/box within a SAPscript form to have rounded/curved corners for the rectangular shape?.
I have reviewed various documentation and forum posts, sap notes etc. but none of them even bothered to mention or explain this. Other forum posts I have seen re this topic simply said it was not possible but I hope for a more explanatory answer than that.
It wouldn't appear to be a big ask for a form to have boxes of different shapes rather than just hard straight lines and edges but perhaps SAP have some reasoning for it which I've not seen.
Appreciate if someone out there can elaborate about this and what alternatives there would be, for example could we upload a graphic of a rounded edge box and then place text over that?.
Thanks in advance,
Michael

Thanks but my question is applicable for Smartforms too. I know SAPscript is OLD and new forms should be developed with Smartforms but at the moment we are tweaking some exisitng SAPscripts and when time permits at a future point we will move to Smartforms.
To other people out there, do you know if there is functionality in either SAPscript or Smartforms to apply Rounded/curved edges/corners in page window frames/boxes?.
Thanks.

Display XML forms in a single window-URGENT!!!!!!!

Hi,
I created a project with XML forms Builder. It is working but the thing is that now i just want to display all the forms in the same window. Means that when i want to edit a new item instead of a new window i want to work in the same browser.
Is that possible by configuring a resource renderer(NewsRenderer for example)?
Otherwise do u know another solution?
Please i need help.
I found a topic in the forum (thread below) https://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=46122&messageID=466382
But i didn't understand all the points.
So if someone know something please answer.
Thx in advance.
MJ

Hi Robert,
I did as u said: I downloaded the file <u>YOUR_PROJECT_NewsRenderListItem.xsl</u> but i didn't find any <b>_blank</b> in the text. Let's say i have exactly the same problem than in the previous thread, i don't know where to add the URL and where to replace _blank.
I don't know where to find the method <u>CreateXSLDocument</u>(Detlev thread) and what is its interest?
Can u please explain where i can find "xinfo=window.open(url,'_blank',params)"? It should be (according to Detlev) in <u>com.sapportals.wcm.app.xfbuilder.server.generator.xsldocs.CreateXSLDocument</u> but i really don't know how to reach this address.
Thx a lot!!!
best regards

Multiple Plots In Seperate Windows

Attached I have created a VI that launches as selected waveforms to multiple plots all on seperate windows. The way I have wrote it causes the windows to lose and gain focus as expected. Does anyone know how to stop the focus from constantly changing? Maybe even a smarter way todo this, or example of it? I was thinking maybe having LabVIEW access some windows APIs that would allow me to control focus. If that is even possible.

LaunchPlotProtoType.zip ‏297 KB

I don't have time to figure out xeactly what you're doing, but here's some ideas from a previous project I did - maybe they'll fit:
The project had one main window, and six sub-windows.
The main window had a button for each sub-window, to call it up.
Each sub window ran on its own, offering a different view on live data being taken by the main.
Each window operated as expected - it stays in front if you click it - you move them around like any other windows.
You couldn't click the CLOSE box, but each window had its own DONE button which closed it.
Here's how it worked:
1... A "Window Manager" vi was initialized (from the main) to generate six OCCURRENCEs and store them in a shift reg.
2... A "Window Launcher" vi is started. It first calls the WINDOW MANAGER to obtain the OCCURRENCE refnums, then launches six parallel WHILE loops.
3... Each WHILE loop has a WAIT ON OCCURRENCE function. It waits a specific time (500 mSec in my case).
4... If the WAIT ON OCCURRENCE timed out, we simply check the state of a global PROGRAM RUNNING variable, and loop if it's true.
5... If the WAIT ON OCCURRENCE did NOT time out, then it was triggered, and we call our particular sub-window (there's one WHILE loop for each window). The sub-windows are set to show front panel when opened, and close when done.
6... Each sub-window monitors the PROGRAM RUNNING global and stops if that is false.
7... Periodically, the six main buttons are fed to the "window manager"'s CHECK function. This checks each button, and if TRUE, calls "OPEN or MOVE to FRONT" VI with the path to the associated sub-window, and the occurrence for the associated window.
8... The OPEN or MOVE to FRONT vi opens a reference to the associated VI, and checks the FP Open property to see if it's already open. If it's already open, the FP.IsFrontmost property is set TRUE to bring it to the front (one might click on the main button while this window is hidden - this will bring it forward).
9... If the window is NOT already open, the associated occurrence is fired. The Window Launcher vi will then start it up.
The windows do whatever work they need within themselves - it's not like the main is doing the plotting and sending data to the windows. It's more like the main is putting data into a common pot and whichever sub-windows are open (running) go and get it.
Hope that helps.

Using a JToolbar as a seperate window

Hi,
I want to have a JToolbar floating as a seperate window to my main application.
I've used...
JToolBar toolbar = new JToolBar();
toolbar.add(new JCheckBox("Checkbox "));
add(toolbar);
toolbar.setFloatable(true);
But when I start the program I have to drag the toolbar out of the parent frame in order to have it in its own window.
Is there some way that I can have it set to always be in its own window?
Thanks for your help

Do I achieve this by making a new frame?
something like,
Frame f2 = new Frame?
and then adding my toolbar to the new one?
Thanks for the help

Why not simulate a toolbar by creating a second frame? It's not a JToolBar, but it can accomplish the same thing.

Open Firefox 4 in new window gives a Window frame and address bar does not refresh the current url

Using Firefox 4 in Windows 7
I have customised the position of tabs (Tabs on top) and which toolbar items I would like to see.
The first window I open of firefox 4 always has the configuration as I set it.
Whenever I open a new window of firefox either:
- Right-click a link to open in a new window
- Click a link anywhere (such as an email) to open a new window
- When a website opens a page in a new window
Bad Results:
- The new window does not have the configuration as set in the main window (Tabs on top)
- The new window has a windows type window frame around the firefox window (see two sets of window controls eg. "minimise", "restore" and "close")
- The open page does not show the url - navigating to a new page within this window will not update the url :: strangely enough clicking the url page icon will update the url as it should be
- Sometimes when restarting firefox, it will open the first main window with the remembered tabs and then open approx 8 or so blank new windows as described above

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I've been running 64-bit Windows 8 Consumer Preview very nicely for several months and want to upgrade to 64-bit Windows Pro on my Pavilion a1440n. When I've tried to install from within the OS I get weird messages indicating that it can't be installed on a USB Flash drive (which I'm not trying to do). When I tried doing a clean install I got an odd message saying that certain installer files were missing and it would not complete. I called Microsoft customer support and the agent there thought my cpu would work because it wouldn't support Hyper-V, even though I understand that it optional. From running coreinfo.exe I can see that I have the PAE, NX, and SSE2 on the cpu enabled as meets requirements.
When I ran through th HP site I saw that this machine has not been tested. Is there any way of getting confirmation that Windows 8 Pro 64-bit will or won't run on my machine? The HP Product code for it is ER904AA#ABA.
Thanks!

How do I turn off the window maximizing feature when I click the top window frame?

Clicking on the top window frame causes Firefox to maximize. This is the only program I have that does this, so I am constantly doing this accidentally. It causes me no end of annoyance, having to minimize the Firefox window every time to see the other window I am using at the same time. Is there a way of turning this "feature" off? I have looked through all controls tabs I can find, and the help files on the Firefox website, and can find no answers to this.

Unintended consequences ... my favorite kind! New information - this appears to be a Windows issue - sorry Mozilla. Another app (Word) just started doing the same thing (previously only observed with Firefox). If the app is too close to the top of screen, and you select it, and slightly move it, it maximizes. I heard this is standard in Windows 7, but I am using XP. This is becoming typical of the annoying hubris of Microsoft that will likely make my next OS Linux. I am not blind, and in need of Microsoft making a single window maximally readable, especially at the expense of all the other windows. If I wanted my computer to make all of my decisions for me, I would have stuck with Apple!
Sorry Mozilla help board - I just had to get it off my chest!

How can I call the Class and have a PDF appear in seperate window?.

I would like to call the class/interface ZCL_UIU_PRN_ACCOUNT2, method Collect_data and have a Smartform executed to produce a PDF document in a Seperate window.
Where I have an issue is in opening another window to display the PDF.
I know the Standard PDF Facsheet does exactly this, but that is triggered via the Web browser and calls a Java script, avoiding and events and round-server trip processing. I would have changed the button values so that when pressed it does process the various events and eventually ends up at EH_ONPREVIEW for the BP_HEAD/Overview. I know just need to open a new window and call the process to create the PDF via Smartform.
Any suggestions would be more than welcome. I have spent so much time on this, and have gained no real ground, so far.
