Forms (V10G) - RunTime Text  Item -- Editor

Hello:
What are the available options to enhance forms runtime SYSTEM/DEFAULT editor for Text Items? We like to add spell checker, text format features in to field editor.
I am sure there are Java based editors out there that Forms could invoke. I am hoping I am not the fist one with this requirement and someone may have done this. Perhaps could provide some input.
Forms V 10G. (This posting is NOT about PL/SQL editor in Developer)
Thanks

Hello,
You can use Webutil.You can call MS Word checkspell function.

  • 10g Text Item Editor Not Working Correctly

    We're having problems with the Text Item Editor in both Add and Edit modes, but esp. in Edit mode. The problems range from getting a gray text screen (no toolbar); getting a white editor screen (no toolbar); tools that do not load (e.g. font color); and tools that do not work even though everything else seems fine. Sometimes refreshing the screen works but not always. Our users are getting very frustrated continually refreshing and logging out/in. It's become worse in the past few weeks such that it occurs in nearly every instance when editing a text item.
    Can anyone point us in a possilbe direction? We are using IE 6.0 and above as the browser.

    This sounds like a bug that should be handled through Oracle Support.

  • Exiting the form when a text item has focus

    I am a beginner, beginner using developer/2000.
    I made a form with some text items that are linked to the
    database.
    When one of the text items has focus and I click the push button
    that i created to exit the form, I get the message FIELD MUST BE
    ENTERED.
    I want to exit the form regardless of whether the cursor is
    currently in any text items.
    I hope this makes sense.
    Thanks, fred

    What you probably want to do as well is set mouse navigate to
    FALSE on the text field.

  • Display Hint Text in Oracle Forms 6i at Text Item

    Dear all seniors
    I want to show Hint text at Text Item in Oracle Forms 6i.
    when my cursor Focus goes at that item. I mean when I go with Tab key or Enter button then it show display text.
    even though my mouse is not on that item.
    please how it would be possible
    thanks.
    G.Y

    Please create a display_item(for eg. Disp_Mess) just below the text field (For eg:-MyField) where you want to show hint. And then assighn Hint text to "DISP_MESS" in NEW-FORM-INSTANCE or at Initial value. Then create a PRE-TEXT-ITEM and POST-TEXT-ITEM trigger for MyField.
    -- PRE-TEXT-ITEM trigger write following code.
    SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('DISP_MESS',VISIBLE,PROPERTY_TRUE);
    --POST-TEXT-ITEM write following code.
    SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('DISP_MESS',VISIBLE,PROPERTY_FALSE);
    It will work for you.

  • How to make one of the columns in my tabular an text item with popup lov

    Hello,
    I want to manually make one of the columns say for the deptno in my tabular form as on text item popup lov using apex_item package
    and whenever user clicks on the text item popup lov, it should open up an dept table report and from which he/she needs to select
    the deptno and this deptno should be returned into the text item popup lov column.
    like for example: say if i have an emp table tabular form with all the columns and deptno column as an popup lov and when user clicks on this column
    it should open up an new sql report(similar to popup lov window), the select statement for this would be
    select deptno,dname,loc from dept order by 1;
    And from this popup lov report whenever an user selects a particular deptno, the same deptno should be returned to my text item popup column in emp tabular form.
    something like this
    select
    "EMPNO",
    "EMPNO" EMPNO_DISPLAY,
    "ENAME",
    "JOB",
    "MGR",
    "HIREDATE",
    "SAL",
    "COMM",
    APEX_ITEM.TEXT(3,deptno,20,50,'readonly=true') || '<img height="16" align="middle" width="16" style="vertical-align: middle;" alt="Popup Lov" src="/i/lov_16x16.gif"/>' deptno
    from "#OWNER#"."EMP"
    like i made my column as an text item lov and now I want to write an onclick event for the text item lov so that an popup window is displayed which is a sql report of the table dept (select deptno,dname,loc from dept order by 1;) and in this report i want to make deptno as an link so that when ever an user clicks on it
    -- this value should be returned to my text item popup lov column deptno in the emp tabular form.
    can anyone help me out with this issue.
    thanks,

  • Mapping text item

    hi
    i have a form component text item in oracle forms6i. so i created a <af:inputText> in my jsp page. and i gave the width and height same as the value of form's component text item in pixels.
    The problem is that even though i gave the same value for the <af:inputText> , in jdev11 it appears to be slightly greater than the appearance that is in oracle forms 6i.
    i want text box to be appear same in both environment.is there any way to change it.
    i mean
    1px in forms = "------"px in jdev11.
    so that i can get the same appearance.
    is there in pixel difference between forms and jdev???
    i dont know whether i conveyed my doubt properly.hope u understood my doubt.

  • Issue with Tabular text item block

    Hi,
    This is the psuedo form structure. First block contains search text item and ok button.
    Second block is a multi tabular form block with text items. only last text item in column is editable by user to enter values.
    | |
    | Search text OK |
    |_____________________________|
    | multi item-tabular block |
    | text item |
    | text item |
    | text item |
    | text item |
    | text item |
    User will enter search text and hit enter and it will trigger LOV and it will display list, of which user will select one and again hit enter. then the second multi tabular block is populated with values and cursor goes to text item and user can enter values in that text item.
    Problem is cursor is blinking in the middle of text item and if I try to enter some then value is displayed from the middle of text item. I tried adding a condition check if there r any nulls and removed nulls then cursor is at the right (which is correct) but after I enter some value and hit ENTER then again cursor is staying in same text item at the middle but the cursor record has moved to next record.
    Looks something like this- cursor at the middle of text item.
    233| $.00
    I have Validate-trigger, key-next-item, key-prev-item.
    Thanks in advance
    Sai

    Thanks a lot to all who spared their time looking into my question and replying.
    This is an Oracle BUG! You can check it in Metalink.
    Whenever there is any Timer enabled(with 1ms ONLY) in the form and If user is trying to move cursor in the Multi record block using Keyboard then it will not work.
    So I changed the Timer from 1ms to 2 ms (which is does not make much difference to application) then it worked fine.
    Thanks

  • Help in inserting data to text item

    I have a database item, iterval, which is CHAR type and values consist of
    'SYSDATE+7','SYSDATE+1','SYSDATE+n/24'...where n is any number. I created a form with two text items, interval_l, which is a list item of CHAR type containing the values, EVERY WEEK, EVERY DAY, EVERY HOUR,etc. and I also have interval_num of NUM type which would contain n from interval. The problem that I am having is that I want to display the current value of interval, for example 'SYSDATE+5/24' as 'EVERY HOUR' in interval_l and '5' in interval_num. Do I need any triggers? I'm open to any suggestions.
    Thanks in advance,
    Kristine

    You use triggers to run when a specific event occurs. So I guess when you query your interval column from your DB table, then the right place to translate the value is in a post-query trigger on the block.
    All you need is some pl/sql code to parse the values of Interval:
    If substr(Interval,1,8) = 'SYSDATE+'
    and substr(Interval,-3) = '/24' then
    interval_l := 'EVERY HOUR';
    interval_num := substr(Interval,9, length(Interval)-11 );

  • How to populate sequence in a text item in a form

    I have a text item in a form.I want that the doc_id i.e the text item should be automatically populated with the help of sequence.I have created sequence named seq_doc_id.on which trigger i should write the code so that everytime the doc_id gets incremented by one. What should be the code.Can anyone gv me some hint.Do i have to use the loop for this?Please help

    Hi,
    I implemented a when-new-block-instance that does just that,
    however due to navigation problems the trigger fires when it should not
    the result is I got holes in the sequence.
    Is there a system variable status to check with an If test
    to make sure the sequence is called only at inserting time?

  • How to find the ID of the text item of the column in an tabular form

    Hello,
    I have created a tabular form report on emp table and made ONE OF THE COLUMN department_id as an text item using APEX_ITEM.TEXT APIs.
    My select query is
    select
    "EMPLOYEE_ID",
    "EMPLOYEE_ID" EMPLOYEE_ID_DISPLAY,
    "FIRST_NAME",
    "LAST_NAME",
    "HIRE_DATE",
    "JOB_ID",
    "SALARY",
    "MANAGER_ID",
    APEX_ITEM.TEXT(3,department_id,20,50,'readonly=true') department_id
    from "#OWNER#"."OEHR_EMPLOYEES"
    now how can i find the item ID?
    one more thing is that how would i reference this item in an javascript function.
    anyone plz help me out with this.
    thanks.

    Hi,
    Firstly, your link must include "this" to ensure that any javascript knows which link has been clicked. So, change:
    onclick="javascript:report();"to
    onclick="javascript:report(this);"Next, your javascript code must take this value and find the related DEPTNO item on the same row. The URL must pass to the popup page the name of the ID that needs to be updated - this is held in the f10 variable in the following script. This means that you popup page must be able to receive this value so that it can use it to update the DEPTNO item when a value is selected. Your popup page seems to be page number 4, so I will assume that you have a P4_ITEM_ID hidden item on that page for this purpose. So, the javascript on the main page would be something like:
    function report(x)
    var f10;
    var p = x.parentNode;
    while (p.tagName != "TR")
      p = p.parentNode;
    var inputs = p.getElementsByTagName("INPUT");
    var zz;
    for (zz = 0; zz < inputs.length; zz++)
      if (inputs[zz].name = 'f10')
       f01 = inputs[zz].id;
    var url;
    url = 'f?p=&APP_ID.:4:&APP_SESSION.::::P4_ITEM_ID:' + f10;
    var w = open(url,"winLov","Scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=450,height=600");
    if (w.opener == null)
       w.opener = self;
    w.focus();
    }So, when the user clicks a link, the report() function is called and the object clicked is passed as a parameter. The script then starts from this object and goes up to the TR tag that the link is on. From here, it finds all INPUT items and then looks at those to find one that has a name attribute of "f10". When it finds it, it stores the ID of that in the "f10" variable. It then constructs a URL using this variable which is set into the P4_ITEM_ID hidden item on the popup page.
    I don't know what your javascript is on the popup, but it would need to get the value out of P4_ITEM_ID to see which main page item needs updating. This could be something like:
    function passBack(val)
      var id = $v('P4_ITEM_ID');
      opener.document.getElementById(id).value = val;
      window.close();
    }This script looks in the P4_ITEM_ID hidden item and gets its value - this will be the ID of the item to update on the main page. It then does the update and closes the popup.

  • How to generate database text items at run time in oracle forms 6i?

    i have a text item with NUMBER OF ITEMS DISPLAYED=3. My requirement is, i need to generate text items at run time under each TEXT ITEM(3 text items will be there since number of items displayed is 3) and the values will be stored in the database based on the primary key combination. pls help me to solve this pblm

    Hi,
    You cannot generate items dynamically at runtime. The only thing you can do is show and hide item on time. Thay seems that they are generated at run time. Second thing you can do is that you can put items on stack canvas and set visible property of stack canvas to no and at run time set it to visible according to ur condition. Otherwise there is no way. If you find any other way, plz do inform here also.

  • How to make list item as text item  in oracle forms 6i

    Hello all,
    I created one form with one list item named "Country".. This list item shows country name for the particular employee in the employee table.I created this list item as database field. In the enter query mode i search an employee , This should act as item text.. Suppose i want to add an employee in enter query mode then i fill all the necessary fields,and
    when i click "country" list item it should display all the country names from "country_tab" table..So based on the situation
    this should act as list item and item text.. Can i Do this ?.. Pls help me.

    hai Andreas Weiden,
    I simply explain my requirement:
    I want to insert data and quering data by using single form...So, I created one form with data block. This form created from employee table.I have one text item in this form named country.This is database item.
    Ok ,Now the actual problem comes.I press "Enter query" in tools menu,Then enter one employee number in employee_no field.after i press
    Execute query In tools menu. It shows all the details corresponding to that employee..
    Note: here "country" text item also shows employees country.
    Right, Now i have another requirement. In the same form I want to insert a new employee. For that
    I planed to changes country text to list item [ because when  insert i can easily pick up one country .it
    reduces typing work ] . I have another table "COUNTRY". Using this table, i should populate country list item..
    So, the country item should act as both text item [When quering] as well as list item [ When inserting ]
    Is there any idea ti do this ?
    If this not possible then what is the alternative ?
    Pls suggest me..

  • Problem in copying a text item content in forms 10.1.2 to other application

    Hi all,
    I have just upgraded my Form server 6i in Windows 2003 to to Application server 10.1.2 in Linux.
    In previos version Application Users Used to Copy some texts from other Applications like Windows NotePad or Client/server Version of Application to webforms text items or vice versa.
    In Application 10g it doesnt work. whithin the webforms we can copy and past content of texts but within Applications It doesnt wirk at all.
    we are running Forms 10.1.2 on Windows XP, using windows IE as the browser.
    Does Forms 10.1.2 use its Own clipboard?
    does anybody know any workaround to solve the problem?
    thank you in advance.
    Alireza

    Hi Mark,
    Thanks for your attention,
    I Think it's not the certification mater, because in development environment I have Stand alone OC4j installed in Windows Xp witch uses the same version of Jinitiator and copy/paste functionality works fine.
    Surprisingly when I connect to application server 10.1.2 witch is installed in Enterprise Linux from the same PC the functionality does not work.
    I cheked windows clipbord before and after running the form application from and noticed that copy/paste mechanism of form doesnt effect windows clipbord ant it somehow uses a private clipboard within itself.
    Any solution would highly be appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

  • How to change the "name of column" property of an text item in runtime?

    How to change the "name of column" property of an text item in runtime?
    I look the properties of items in help and found nothing about this!
    It's possible?

    Hi,
    an other solution is change the block property QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_TYPE from "Table" to "Sub-query" , than change at run time the property QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME.
    First create block and add items
    The QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME will be for ex. "Select 'A' as col1, 'B' AS col2, 'C' as col3 from dual"
    Set into items the column name property to col1 , col2 ...
    At run time change the query to "Select 'Z' as col1, 'X' as col2 , 'Y' as col3 from dual"
    in this way you can change the source of column value.
    Caution because if you change value type from varchar2 to date you must cast date into varchar2.
    May be that this way is valid only for view data not for insert-update, i don't remember.
