Hello SS,
It worked a little bit.

Hope u suggest me, if u found new hints or tips on this.

  • How to open a form always on top but not at focus?

    I had a form application which will call another form as reference. May I know that is there any way I can to to set the called form always on top, but the focus is still set at the calling form so that I can still operate on the calling form?
    Many thanks

    Hi:
    Thank you for reply to my question.
    I have tried your codes and apply them the following the form. However, I always got the following error:
    Error: (WWV-00000)
    No conversion performed for type INTEGER, value . (WWC-49102)
    No conversion performed for type INTEGER, value . (WWC-49102)
    No conversion performed for type INTEGER, value . (WWC-49102)
    No conversion performed for type INTEGER, value . (WWC-49102)
    My codes is:
    declare
    request_no number;
    blk varchar2(30) := 'DEFAULT';
    l_url varchar2(4000);
    begin
    request_no := p_session.get_value_as_NuMBER(
    p_block_name => blk,
    p_attribute_name => 'A_WORK_REQUEST_ID');
    l_url := 'portal30.wwa_app_module.link?p_arg_names=_moduleid&p_arg_values=11880470335&p_arg_names=_sessionid&p_arg_values=&p_arg_names=work_request_id&p_arg_values='||request_no;
    portal30.wwa_app_module.set_target(l_url,'call');
    end;
    then,
    I created another form which has two fields and the dattype of pk is varchar2 and change manually put the pk's p_arg_value into the url.
    e.g.
    l_url:='PORTAL30.wwa_app_module.link?p_arg_names=_moduleid&p_arg_values=9029417810&p_arg_names=WORK_AREA_CD&p_arg_values=APP';
    portal30.wwa_app_module.set_target(l_url,'call');
    However, I still get the error message as below:
    Error: (WWV-00000)
    No conversion performed for type INTEGER, value . (WWC-49102)
    No conversion performed for type INTEGER, value . (WWC-49102)

    Your help would be highly appreciated.

  • Form Runtime

    Hi,
    What is the best way to connect to the database schema automatively when the form is in run time.
    Example:
    When you close the form builder or run the form in form runtime, it always prompts you for the database schema. What is the best way to solve this problem, because my form will deploy into the web server, I don't want the user to enter the database schema. Please advise.
    Thank you very much

    Still, beware!
    This way you give the luser the username & password. Yet, for this application, there is a trick so that I don't reveal the username & password of the owner of the application object schema (the login user is a dumb user that can only execute some stored procs that do logon to the application schema if they are given the right params for username & password). Back scenes I use the logon & logout built-ins.

  • Always on top window (not modal)

    Hi, everyone:
    Is there a way of making a window to be displayed always on top? I don't want it to be a modal window. I want the user to be able to flip to another (background) form, but still being able to fully see my current form on top.
    Thanks a lot.
    Regards,
    Eugene.

    Yes this is possible - if you are using Forms client server on windows you can find the code on Metalink (metalink.oracle.com) Note:68822.1

  • Problem creating an "always on top" window

    Hi to all,
    I'm developing an application and I want to create an "always ot top" window (for win32).
    I used madtown54's c++ code (http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=57&thread=348024&message=1443221#1443221), but at runtime I receive this error:
    java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: getNativeWindowHandle
    at com.tilab.newtel.popupclient.DisplayMessage.getNativeWindowHandle(Native Method)
    I'va also tried vdbjoris' code(http://www.esus.com/docs/GetQuestionPage.jsp?uid=102 ), but with the same result...
    Any suggestion?

    Thank you for your reply!
    Yes, I have. I receive an error when I try to call a native method, not when loading the .dll library.
    Any other suggestion?

  • JWindow - always on top

    I've got a JWindow which appears always on top - not just of other Java windows but of any window in the window manager, but I'd prefer it to be always underneath or at least behave normally. All I seem to get from Googles is cases where people are trying to get this behaviour but can't because this kind of thing is supposed to be platform specific and out of Java's control?!
    This seems to happen in Gnome 2.8 and Openbox on Linux so I'm presuming it's not specific to a single WM. Any (constructive!) suggestions appreciated :)

    Copied from the javadocs:
    "Note: some platforms might not support always-on-top windows. There is no public API to detect if the platform supports always-on-top at runtime."

  • Windows 7, Forms Runtime 6i and Discoverer 10g don't play nice together

    Hi -
    I posted this under the Discoverer Forum, but it was suggested that this might be a better place.
    Let's see if I can have this make sense:
    We are testing 3 Oracle products on a Windows 7 64-bit machine.
    1. Forms Runtime 6i
    2. Discoverer 10g version 10.1.2.3
    3. ODBC from Ora client 11
    I can install everything; although I had to install Discoverer in Compatablilty Mode using XP SP2. The ODBC client requires that I change the environment varialbes and add a New Environment variable called TNS_ADMIN.
    Forms 6i works and the ODBC work until I install Discoverer. After installing Discoverer, I get a TNS cannont resolve.......on the Forms Runtime.
    I'm lost as to how to get the Forms 6i to work. If you need any more information, please ask and I'll try to answer.
    Thanks for all your help.

    OK - so I thought the original post was from May of 2011 and wrote up my entire response accordingly. Only at the very end did I see that the original post was from May of 2010. Hopefully my response will help others who are only now trying to work through this issue.
    Although Developer 6i is not officially supported by Oracle on Windows 7, it can run. It is just a bit finnicky to figure out.
    There are a few of other things to I'd like to mention.
    #1 Because you are running on a 64-bit OS, and depending on the Oracle 6i patch level you are running on the machine (we use Patch 17), you will need to replace two DLL files in the <ORA6i_HOME_DIR>\bin folder with version from 1/2/2001 (Patch 4, I think)
    1. NN60.DLL
    2. NNB60.DLL
    If you do not replce these files, you will get an "FORM ERROR FRM-41211 Integration Error: SSL failure running another product" if you try to run a report from within your forms application, or if you try to open a form in a new window. The newer versions of these files apparently had removed some 64-bit calls when 64-bit Windows XP flopped.
    More information (and my original source for my solution) can be found here: http://halimdba.blogspot.com/2009/05/oracle-forms-or-reports-6i-in-windows.html
    #2 Because you are running on a 64-bit OS, if you want to add the TNS_ADMIN variable to your registry, you should add it in two places. HKLM\Software\Oracle AND HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Oracle
    #3 During installation, I have a batch file that performs a lot of the 6i install stuff, so I don't run in compatability mode. But what I do is open a command prompt using "Run As Administrator" then browse to the 6i installers and install from that admin environment. If you are creating packaged forms 6i applications, I would strongly suggest investing the time to figure out how to script the 6i install for you clients. It can be a pain, but it is certainly much better than having to remember a gazillion different steps and make sure that you selec the approrpiate packages every time. The certainly don't need the full 6i environment, only the runtime portions.
    #4 When installing multiple versions of oracle client, we've always found it best to start with the oldest version first. Get it running and tested, then move to the next version. Test the new version, then the old, then change the old to work with the new. Rinse and repeat. Of course, this is not required and may be impossible (installing your 6i app on machines that have been running 10g for years where you don't want to have to reimage the machine), but that order is definitely helpful in determine those steps that must be taken to get all versions working at the same time.

  • Flash always on top in Safari 5.0.5

    Hi,
    I have some problems with flash in Safari 5.0.5 with Flash Player 10.2. My flash banners is always on top and covers menus and popups. wmode and z-index seems to be correct. It works as expected in the latest nightly build of webkit and Google Chrome, but not Safari.
    Here is the webpage, scroll down and you will see the flash covering the top menu: http://www.booli.se/bostad/villa/hisingen/plockerotegatan+16/786830
    I found this question on the same topic (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2458855?start=0&tstart=0) where the problem was said to be solved with Safari 5.0.1. A test site was set up in that thread by user suastegui which can be found here: http://www.guru.ag/fl2/iframeTest/index.html. On this page the flash is still covering the other elements for me.
    Any ideas?

    BBC iPlayer relies on Adobe Air. AIR 1.5.3 is the last version of AIR that supports Mac PowerPC and Windows 2000. AIR applications that require AIR 2 or later cannot be installed or used on a Macintosh PowerPC or a computer running the Windows 2000 operating system.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/853/cpsid_85304.html
    I am in the same boat. I cannot watch flash videos on the BBC website or on BBC iPlayer, although all other flash videos (YouTube for example) are fine.
    For reasons that passeth all understanding, they work with the PPC version of Firefox, called TenFourFoxG5.app, once you have anabled plug-ins, as it does not natively support Flash.
    You can download TenFourFoxG5 from here:
    http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
    Now for the intersting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:
    http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported
    But there is a workaround!
    Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
    Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
    Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
    Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
    I am using Flash 10.1.102.64 in TenFourFox and it works just fine.

  • Dreamweaver Panels - Only one panel visible at a time, others get obscured even with Always On Top.

    I have a problem with my Dreamweaver MX, and it is that I can only see one panel at a time, any other open panels get obscured. For example, with the work space maximized, and having the properties and behaviors panels open, I can only see one of the panels at the same time. If I click on any area of the work space each open panel will display and with the next click the other will display. If I make the work space smaller then the whole area of my screen, and move any open panels outside of the Dreamweaver work space, only then they will stay visible. I know this is not normal behavior, because I used to be able to see all the open panels simultaneously, with the work space maximized to use all the screen area. I went to Preferences> Panels> Always On Top, and all the checkmarks are still set, so as to keep all panels on top at all times, but this does no longer be the case. Can someone tell me what happened here, and how I can get back to being able to see all the open panels? BTW, I tried installing older version of Dreamweaver 4, and the same thing happens to both installed versions. This is extremely annoying!
    Thanks. -Al.

    Since I upgraded to Firefox 19 from 18.0.2, on my Windows XP (SP3) laptop, I, too, can no longer open a new window. File-->New Window does nothing; also can no longer tear off a tab and open it in a new window (it stays where it is). Also, if I right-click on a tab and select Move to New Window, nothing happens. All of these worked fine in FF 18.0.2. All of these work fine with FF 19 on Windows 7. Only an issue on my XP laptop.
    After trying to open a new window, and not seeing the new window come up (and yes, I waited a long time), I decided to close my current window, which had multiple tabs open. Instead of just closing, it pops up the message reminding me that I'm about to close all those tabs. If I say close, and then go into the Task Manager, the Firefox application has disappeared (as expected), but the firefox (and plug-in container) processes are still running. So I have to manually kill the Firefox process to get it to quit. it's as if it thinks there is another Window open (the one I tried to open but never appeared). This happens every single time! I've restarted my laptop, and that does not resolve the problem.
    Is there a way to downgrade back to v 18.0.2 until this is fixed?

  • "Show Desktop" bug forces any program windows to be stuck "Always-on-top"

    What I found under Windows 7, when you use the "Show Desktop" feature (I prefer the ⊞ Win + D shortcut) and then bring all windows back by using it again, some windows behave as if they're glued to the front of the z-order. What this means is, say, I have windows
    A B and C open, with focus on A, hit ⊞ Win +D twice, and now it may happen that if I then want to switch to B or C, either by Alt+Tab or by selecting them on the taskbar, the taskbar shows the highlight, but A stays visible (and usable, it's not just a rendering
    issue) in the foreground.
    Imagine the following situations, all three windows cascading and overlapping:
    A (focus)
    B
    C
    -> ⊞ Win + D
    Desktop (focus)
    -> ⊞ Win + D
    A (focus)
    B
    C
    -> click C on taskbar
    A
    C (focus)
    B
    -> click B on taskbar
    A
    B (focus)
    C
    And so on. Focus means actual input focus, i.e. in second situation, any keyboard typing is sent to window B while window A is in the foreground.
    It does not matter what kind of application; in my current case an instance of Outlook and an instance of Explorer is stuck, while a second instance of Explorer and an instance of Firefox behave normally. This should show that this problem can occur even between
    multiple instances of the same application, and that there are no fancy applications involved that like to pretend they are the most important program and internally force "always on top".
    Showing and unshowing the desktop again doesn't help; in the worst case another window might end up with the "glued to the top of the z-order" too. Between those, I can easily switch, but in order to get a window which still behaves normally on top, I have
    to manually minimize the offending windows.
    The only cure seems to close the offending windows so far, I've not found anything else that helps.
    Could it be that Windows 7 has a bug that can force an ALWAYS_ON_TOP flag
    onto some windows when restoring from "Show Desktop", or am I doing something wrong?
    More information from another user:
    I use win+d. Issue easy to replicate, Win7-64bit-Ultimate.
    The affected windows (any program) seem to be placed into a separate "Z" group. You can place multiple/many windows into this always-on-top state, those in the affected state will function normally in relation to each other with the exception that: - The group
    as a whole is always-on-top of any non-affected window - The whole group is on top of the taskbar. - The whole group does not respond to (context on taskbar) "cascade windows" or similar commands.
    The fact that the affected windows are on top of the taskbar and otherwise function as "special windows" shows that windows 7 has a hidden "feature" of always-on-top that gets applied with Win+D. The feature appears to place windows in a super window state
    that is on top of the taskbar. The normal group remaining behind the taskbar. (When you click the start menu or context menu of the taskbar, the start menu/taskbar comes to the foreground of the always-on-top group, however this does not revert the affected
    windows, only a temporary takeover until you switch to something other than the start menu/taskbar)
    This is key to finding an answer. How do we get windows to unassign the special status or not do the assignment in the first place?

    It appeared to have cleared by closing all windows and restarting. Initially I could not reproduce the error, then after opening all my working windows, I did indeed reproduce it on any window.
    I almost think it could be initialized with something to do with multiple windows of Chrome, and then the show desktop problem will crop up once one window has it. This was because: After messing around some more with a chrome session saver (session buddy)
    and restoring sessions and getting the super state, I restored and closed the window I was in and now I am again at a place where I can not reproduce the error, even in my "work environment" with some 35 chrome tabs in two windows, plus other programs, file
    locations, remote desktops and a second chrome profile with another dozen tabs.
    So, back to square one with finding the actual instigator of the super state phenomenon.
    Once you actually have the super sate issue, the following will reproduce:
    Ok, I am doing this as I type it:
    Open chrome (to view this website), then Notepad, then Calculator, (could be any windows, but for the purpose of demonstration, follow along with me)
    The windows should function normally, overlap your windows so that you can see the edge of all windows and the Z-order is (from front to back):the browser on top, then the calculator, then Notepad (you should be able to see part of the background windows).
    Now, with the browser on top, press win+d, then win+d again.
    Click on Calculator, then your browser, your browser is now stuck in the foreground. Clicking on notepad will bring the focus to notepad, and it will be in front of the calculator, yet it will stay behind the browser, as your browser is in "super state". (many
    arrangements of switching focus after returning from win+d will create the problem, with the exeption of clicking the desktop, I also noticed that I could not get calculator into super state unless it overlapped my chrome browser).
    Again, this does not seem to work until at least one of your windows is affected. We do not know how to get the initial window, only subsequent ones.
    I will post back if I find anything else.
    Let me know if there is anything that develops.

  • How to keep toolbar in Photoshop CS5 always on top

    I have just upgraded to CS5 from CS3. In CS5, when I move an open document around on screen it covers over the toolbar, but only if the toolbar is docked to the side of window.  It will also cover the property bar and menu bar at the top of the interface.  The palettes on the r/h side always stay on top if not docked to the edge of the window, but if docked they too get covered over. In CS3 all the interface items stayed on top.  Is there any way to make sure they is always on top when docked (I prefer not to have them free floating)?
    I'm using Vista Ultimate.  My monitor is a Dell 24" Ultrasharp running at native 1920x1200 res.

    Thanks for the suggestion.  Turning OpenGL off makes no difference, and with it turned on I have also tried the three different quality settings, none of which made any difference either.
    I've also just tried with CS5 in a window, rather than fully maximised, and like that I can actually drag an open image right outside the Photoshop interface!

    As the title I can have inside a JDesktopPane some JinternalFrame "always on top" compared to one that makes the background?You might get better help by explaining what you want to achieve, rather than how you want to achieve it.
    You can do custom painting in a JDesktopPane, you know.

  • JOptionPane show Message Dialog always on top found a Solution

    just thought of a solution for the age old java problem with message boxes / dialogs / input .
    It's funny when you google it you'll find like a million people asking for a solution but none or very few that gives an answer that works.
    this is probly not a new solution but i came up with this yesterday and thought i would "share".
    dunno why the java developers hasnt made a always on top function for this since there seems to be a very high demand for it.
    this hax will hopefully work at all times.
    hope google will find this thread, i searched for a solution yesterday and found none? which is surprising and im a pro googler too.
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class main{
         public static void main(String args[]){
              JFrame j=new JFrame();
              j.setAlwaysOnTop(true);
              j.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
              j.setVisible(true);
              j.setVisible(false);
              JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(j,"hi");
              System.exit(0);
    }

    I didn't realize it was an "age old problem." The JOptionPane's showXXX methods just show an ordinary modal dialog. If you want to set the alwaysOnTop property of said dialog then you just need to obtain a reference and call the method in question.
    JOptionPane op = new JOptionPane("hi",JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
    JDialog dialog = op.createDialog("Message Dialog");
    dialog.setAlwaysOnTop(true); //<-- this line
    dialog.setModal(true);
    dialog.setDefaultCloseOperation(JDialog.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
    dialog.setVisible(true);No need for an intermediate frame.
