Forms Open API and ActiveX

I need to access the open api and display some of the activex related information stored in our forms. The api header files i have (6i release 2) do not have the required macro d2fitmg_activex_val_prop, which should be in the file D2FITM.H. Nor can I find D2FP_ACTIVEX_VAL_PROP. Both are descibed in the online help, but missing from the headers. I do not whether the .lib file supports it.
Can anyone tell me what I should do? Where I can find the latest API? I downloaded Forms 6i Release 2 only yesterday, but the header files are the same.
Thank you for your time.

This is a bug in the documentation. The property in question is not exposed through the API.
In the builder when you select this property within the Property inspector, the Control then pops up it's own property palette. There is no way we can do that in batch so the property is not exposed.

How can I detect Form Open event and Import data event ?

We are using Adobe Designer 7 and Adobe Reader 7.0.5. When we open a Form, Initialize event is being called. Similarly when we Import any data, initialize event is being called. At the Initialize event, I want to know whether it is caused by Opening the Form (or) Importing the data. Please respond as we were completely stuck up with this issue.

My screenshot was only an example how you can approach the issue. I wasnt saying that you should try it with AI....
Just take a closer look into the DAQmx Events and you will discover something like this:
hope this helps,

Flycapture API and activeX

Hi,
I try to operate Point grey research grasshoper camera using CVI.
I need it to be asynchronic - means to fire a software trigger when i need it to grab the next frame.
At first i tried using their activeX component, this generated an .fp file with many functions that did not appear in their docs. but i could start the camera with synchronic mode.
I also tried to use their .lib files to use their SDK but it didnt compile.
Did anyone here succeeded to control some of their cameras using the API?

Hey omerwagner,
You may want to look at Point Grey's support website here. They are going to be more familiar with setting up a software trigger off of their cameras. They also have lots of information on using the FlyCapture SDK. It may be worth taking a second look into using those libraries and trying to solve the non-compiling issue, especially if the ActiveX control can't be configured for software triggering. And additionally, compiling issues are going to be much more likely to be answered on this forum.
Best of luck,
Luke W

font color=red Create/Modify forms and triggers through C++ using OPEN API


Dear brothers/sisters
 
Please help us to find the linking problem.
 
We have to add PRE-FORM trigger to many FMBies. We have thousants of FMBies. So opening one by one is difficult. For this we are using OPEN API and BORLAND C++. We have coppied all header files from D:\orant\FORMS60\API.
But there is a link error. Here is the snippet.
 

 #include <stdio.h>
 #include <stdlib.h>
 #include <malloc.h>
 #include <d2fctx.h> /* Forms API context */
 #include <d2ffmd.h> /* Form module header file */
 int main (int argc, char *argv[])
 {
 d2fctxa ctx_attr;
 d2fctx *ctx;
 d2ffmd *form;
 text *form_name;
 /* Check arguments */
 if ( argc != 2 )
 {
 fprintf(stderr, "USAGE: %s <filename>\n", argv[0]);
 exit(1);
 }

 d2fctxde_Destroy(ctx);
 return 0;

The compilation is success. But there is a link error. Please help us to find the problem.

OPEN API

Please tell what is Oracle Open API, what 's the differences between Open API and OCI? If you could introduce some materials on web, it would be great.

Hi,
I recommend getting in touch with the tools vendor or to follow his setup instructions. If teh tool e.g. is created for an older version of Forms, then maybe an update of the tool is required.

Open Interfaces and API

Anyone figured out how to set a column back to Null using the 11i open interfaces and/or API's ???
Thanks in advance,
Matt

Updating a column to a Null value is only available for Release 11 via
patch 9073379. From package INVUPD1B.pls version 110.4 onwards Oracle is supporting the following ways to update NULL to item attributes through Item Open Import:
For Numeric fields : insert -999999
For Character fields : insert '!'
This only applies to fields that are nullable in the form.
I have a list that I got off of Metalink at one time, but have not been able to find it again. A search on Metalink using 'IOI null' should give you a little to look at.

Opening User defined Fields Form via API

Hi
Is there a posiibility to open those user defined field - forms via API. If yes is it possible to check if it is already open?
TIA
Phile

Hi,
In your eventhandler, you can use this:
Set oSboForm = Sbo_application.Forms.GetFormByTypeAndCount(-pval.FormType, pval.FormTypeCount)
form and udf-form are linked through a minus sign.
I do not know of a nice way to check if they are anebled. What I'm currently doing is running the above line of code contained in an error handler. The error handler does a sendkeys of control shift u (which enables the udf-form) and displays a message. Problem is after control shift u, screen is not yet updated so your code cannot continue immediatelly. Development knows of this problem, but I never received a promise when this will be fixed.
Hope this helps,
Jacques

Forms 5 Open API Problem

How can the displayed text of an existing Graphics Text
(Boilerplate) be modified with Open API functions?
All(?) properties of all Forms objects can be modified with
function calls similar to the calls in the example below. Just
this one seems impossible.
(See Forms builder help topic "Open API, creating module")
Code fragment:
/* create a Graphics Object */
status = d2fgracr_Create( pd2fctx , pd2fcnv,
&pd2fgra, (text*) "MYTEXT" );
/* set Graphics type to TEXT */
status = d2fgras_graphics_typ(pd2fctx,pd2fgra,D2FC_GRTY_TEXT);
/* set displayed text to "TEXT1" */
status = d2fgras_gra_text(pd2fctx,pd2fgra,(text*) "TEXT1");
/* Modify "TEXT1" to "TEXT2" */
status = d2fgras_gra_text(pd2fctx,pd2fgra,(text*) "TEXT2");
/* Check value; ought to be "TEXT2" */
status = d2fgrag_gra_text(pd2fctx,pd2fgra,&tex);
printf("%s",tex); /* prints TEXT1 !!!????*/
null

I checked PATH environment variable and it already contains path having Forms DLLs in it.
After that I deinstalled Oracle 9 database from computer and tried again to start my program.
Now it works but I don't know why it was having trouble creating context with d2fctxcr_Create when database was installed on computer.
Anyway, I might need database in the future so I would like that it coexists peacefully on my computer with Oracle Designer. How can I achieve that? Tnx in advance.

Interactive PDF form on Android, can I make a form field to open camera and use photo in field?

If I have an interactive PDF form on Android, is there any way to make a form field that will open the camera and insert the photo in the field?

One alternative would be to create a web form in FormsCentral and use the attachment feature.

I just downloaded a pdf form and need to open it and fill in blanks but can't figure ohow to find the file

I just downloaded a pdf form and need to open it and fill in blanks but how can I find the file in Adobe so I can open it??
Thank you in advance.

Hi Steve Odem,
If you downloaded the file from a web page, it most likely went into a Downloads folder on your computer. If you don't know where that folder is, the easiest thing to do may be to use the Find feature of Mac OS or Windows (whichever you use), to search for the PDF form. Once you know where the file ended up, you can easily navigate to that folder in Reader. (Choose File > Open in Reader, then navigate to the file in the Open dialog box.)
Please let us know if you have additional questions.
Best,
Sara

Is it possible to create a standard form that can be emailed to anyone and once filled out by the receiver, have a button that the receiver clicks and the form is encrypted and attached an email back to the sender and a preset admin password would open it

Is it possible to create a standard form that can be emailed to anyone and once filled out by the receiver, have a button that the receiver clicks and the form is encrypted and attached to an email back to the sender and a preset admin password would open it?

Hello Graphicsguy123,
You would need to first create the form ( or Widget in EchoSign) first to generate a url which you can paste it in the email being sent to customers. You would need to make sure you have a Document Cloud Enterprise Premium account in order to create a Widget. If you don't have the account, you can use the trial version to test it.

Hi,
If you want the InfoPath forms for displaying the items in the list, then I recommend to click Customize Form button in the ribbon of the list to edit the form in InfoPath and then publish the form back to SharePoint.
After that, you will see there are three new forms(displayifs.aspx, editifs.aspx, newifs.aspx) when you view the list in SharePoint Designer.
Then you can create the custom action to navigate to the custom InfoPath form:
