Answer 1

dear sunny
are u able to do the iconic button on 10g forms i try but appear the icon on button I have alreay do the following
Runtime Configuration
1) Creating Jar file
i) Once you are ready with your GIF files or JPG files, create a folder called ICONS. You can create this folder anywhere. For e.g. you can create ICONS folder on a C drive under root directory or as a sub-folder under any folder.
ii) Assuming you have created ICONS folder as a root folder on C drive, now copy all your GIF files in this folder.
iii) Go to the DOS prompt and enter cd\
iv) At C:\ prompt enter the following command to create Java Archive File (JAR) called my_icons
Jar ?cvf my_icons.jar icons
(Note: If above command don't run then paste icons foled at C:\DevSuiteHome_1\jdk\bin.)
v) Copy this file in <Forms10g_Home>\Forms\Java folder.
Please remember that having the name of the folder holding GIF/JPG files as ICONS is very important. Because if the folder name is something else, icons will not be displayed in your form at run time.
2) Modify REGISTRY.DAT file
i) Open this file located in <Forms10g_Home>\forms\java\oracle\forms\registry folder.
ii) Append the existing parameter default.icons.iconpath as follows:
default.icons.iconpath=icons/
iii) If you are going to use GIF files as image files for icons, then leave the existing parameter default.icons.iconextension=gif as it is. If you want to use JPG files instead of GIF files, replace GIF with JPG as shown below:
default.icons.iconextension=jpg
3) Modify FORMSWEB.CFG file
This file exists under <Forms10g_Home>\Forms\Server folder.
Append the following existing parameters:
i) imagebase=codebase
ii) archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jar,frmwebutil.jar,jacob .jar,my_icons.jar
After doing above configurations, create a form and place an icon on the button. Set button's icon property = Yes and give name of icon.
NOTE: This icon shoul be in jar file. If u want to add more icons in jar file then u will have to create JAR file again. Also again place it in <Forms10g_Home>\Forms\Java folder.
pls if u have any solution send me
