Grid in Oracle Forms

wil it be possiblt to create a form where we can drag the change the width of the columns in the form. How can this be accomplished?

This thread is starting to get a bit off topic but if I can maybe add a few lines and then we can break it off into separate topics.
While Forms does not have a grid control as described, Forms allows you to open up and customise the features of the UI using Pluggable Java components and Java Beans (more on OTN) so you can add this functionality.
However, I don't want to get into the specifics of VB versus Forms argument because you will always find elements of one tool which beats the other. For enterpise companies and senior management issues, it is much bigger than that.
As a platform, Oracle gives you the Enterprise database and everything that entails as well as middle tier infrastructure (the application server) and then a whole suite of tools of which Forms is one.
The pros and cons on a specific direction a company takes would not be made on a couple of "cool" features of the tool but on the sum of the whole and I think that Oracle has proved its success through the customers and its own Applications Suite.
Hope that helps

  • How to Display Grid in ORacle Forms

    Hi Friends and Experts
    I have a requirement to display the records in Grid in ORacle Forms. This grid is a kind of Java grid. Help on this or any reference material for implementing this would be grately appreciated.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Ahmed

    what forms-version?
    what exactly do you mean with grid? Do you have a special ready-made component you want to use ? Do you have any functional requirements for your grid?
    For a "normal" data grid, you could just layout your data in tabular way, perhaps with a stacked canvas, to have a scrollable area to the right
    If you use forms in web you could use a javabean for this, if so have a look at Francois's blog-page http://forms.pjc.bean.over-blog.com/40-categorie-461064.html
    hope this helps

  • How do you create THIS "grid" in Oracle Forms

    Hi,
    I am new to Forms. I have to develop a grid very similar to the one shown here.
    How can you create the grid in the bottom??
    I can't see using any of the standard Oracle toolbox items (like multi-record blocks) for this?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    User 122...

    Hi Soofi,
    Appreciate your quick response.
    In the image, can you see a huge grid?
    Grid column headings are days of the week, Mon, Tue, Wed etc.
    Grid Rows also have names, like Room, Status and Rm. Type.
    Cells have various values in various colors (red, blue, green etc) and signs like ">>".
    Can you see that??
    My question is, how to create a grid like this in Oracle Forms??? We cannot do it using a multi record block.
    So, how have they done it??? The form in the image is an actual Oracle Form from a hotel reservation system.

  • Data Grid in oracle forms

    Hello all,
    Is there a way that I can embed a excel grid kind of control in oracle forms.
    Your input will be much much more appreciated
    Thanks,
    Karthik

    in 6i C/S you have OLE-Container, in which you can do that.
    but in newer versions like 10g you need Java-Beans, no OCX, VBX or Active X or OLE-Container.
    If you have a Bean, which can do that, then you can integrate it

  • Displaying Records data as text grid in oracle forms

    Hi
    I am new to oracle forms. I want to display data from different tables as a text.
    And I need to give hyper link for that data.
    I am using oracle forms 10g., forms builder.
    can anyone tell me the process.. I need it very very soon..
    Thnx in advance
    ~noc

    Ok, you can populate records in 2 ways
    1. Using cursor (if your block is a non-database block)
    2. Using EXECUTE-QUERY (If your block is a database block)
    If you have created a database view as suggested above, then you can simply add a WHERE clause in the property palette of the block,
    then in the button's when-button-trigger write EXECUTE_QUERY.
    But if you have created a non-database block, (didnt create database view)
    in that case you can simply write a cursor in the when-button-pressed trigger as:-
    Declare
    cursor my_cur is
    select col_list....
    from table_list....
    where......;
    Begin
    GO_BLOCK('Name of block');
    CLEAR_BLOCK(NO_VALIDATE);
    First_Record;
    For cur in my_cur Loop
    :BLOCK_NAME.ITEM_NAME := cur.col1;
    Next_Record;
    End Loop;
    First_Record;
    End;
    One more point, as suggested above, you can create the button in a non-database control block,
    or,
    in the same block with the button's Number of Records Displayed set to 1
    in either case, I usually keep the button's Mouse Navigable & Keyboard navigable properties to No,

  • Gride in Oracle Formns 6i

    Dear friends
    I am using Forms 6i and 9i Database.
    I searched how can I make a gride (like excel gride) in oracle form and I'll have the followin control : sort on column , resize column and move column between eachother, then I read I must use JTable with Bean Area in oracle form( I'm not sure is it correct or not), But I couldn't find how I can do it.
    If I can do it with JTable and Bean Area please tell me step by step the method.
    Thanks alot

    1. If you want simple sort, you can use the blocks property to sort it dynamically
    2. Its difficult to integrate java beans in 6i.. Upgrade to 9i or 10g forms.

  • Oracle Forms LAF Problem

    Hi,
    I've been working on Oracle Forms & the LAF project for the past 1 week. Im totally new to both of them.
    Constantly, im getting problem in implementing CSS to oracle forms using the LAF project.
    I downloaded the latest LAF package and followed the steps indicated in the LAF project site. But, when i try to run the oracle form, the CSS is not getting applied to the forms.
    The whole window is shown with a white background, and the CSS gets applied only to the Grid Body part. The changes i do in the CSS file gets reflected in the Grid Body part, which means the module reads the CSS files successfully, but CSS is not getting applied to other things.
    Even when i try running the sample programs provided in the LAF package its not running properly. The same problem exists. Only the Grid Body part is working.
    And also, the fmb file i worked on seems to be working properly on another machine. Is it that im missing any configuration in order to make it work.
    I've attached screen shots below. Please check it and help me with a solution.

  • Oracle forms multiple session

    I need to populate a grid with multiple rows where multiple users can view the data in their respective login fetched from multiple tables. The users can select some configuration data in the UI to perform insert or update transactions for multiple rows to another table.
    I need to uniquely identify the set of rows for each user and for each session so that I can insert or update the rows. The user also can re-query the newly inserted or updated rows to table.
    Please let me know whether usage of global temporary tables can be used here.
    Is there any other way to achieve the same?
    The oracle stored procedure should return the result set and the oracle forms should be able to display it in the UI. I am using oracle 10g.

    to create a java stub to call external web service and then use java importer in oracle forms to call this web service from oracle forms.
    WSDL for external web service used is http://gend:83/DesignService.svc?wsdl
    The service was developed by us.
    Calling the web service using JDeveloper works fine but when I complie in Oracle Forms it returns wrong number of types of arguments in call SENDHELLO.
    The code from oracle form to call web service is as below:

    My primary skill is PL/SQL but the only information I found on Oracle's site to call a web service from a 10g Form was creating a jar file and importing the java class. Since I don't want to ask our corporate IT to make changes on the UNIX box for the jar files I went a different route.
    I use UTL_HTTP.BEGIN_REQUEST to call a URL then load I load the data to a table as a CLOB since we have more than 4000 characters. Now I need to parse the XML and load it into a form. I have never done this so if there is a helpful site please let me know. I have looked at several sites but none do what I want.
    Thanks

    Yes, it is the message line - so basically this call fails => rv:= CurrencyConvertorStub.ConversionRate(jo,'CAD','USD'); and control goes in the exception block
