How to get LOV button in Forms 10g

Hello Everyone,
I have created a form in 10g and also create a LOV for item (DESIGNATION). But i can't get/see the LOV button, always i have to press Ctrl+L. And then from the list item can select.
I need that button nearer to particular item for which LOV is created, just like we can get into Oracle Apps.
Regards,
JAK

Hi Tony - Mark,
Thanks for your reply. I did the changes " app.ui.lovButtons=false to true " as you both told me, but still the LOV button is not getting beside that text item.
The senario is, Created a text item HIREDATE & to this item the Calendar library is attached i.e. PL/SQL library calendar90.pll, then create a KEY_LISTVAL trigger on the date item which is to use the Date List of Values window.
Now when i run the form (Ctrl+R), the form will open in browser, but i can't see the LOV button with the HIREDATE text item. Always i h've to use "Ctrl+L" then it shows the calendar. So user has to know, how to open this calendar or just simply put the date directly in to the text item.
I want to see the button (Just like we can get into oracle application, after attaching the value set). Whether it is possible to get it or i h've to place a button beside to HIREDATE text item & on this button code can be write to open the calendar.
Thanks & Regards

How to put iconic button in forms 10g?

Hi All,
I've created a button with iconic property set to yes and icon file set to open. in forms 10g
But when I run the form, the button appeared without the open icon show!

In webforms, you have to put your icons in a jar file and put the jar file in a directory where Java can read from. the easiest place to put the jar file is the %ORACLE_HOME%/forms/java directory found in your Oracle installation directory
for instance if you have your devsuite installed in C:\devsuite10g put the jar file in C:\devsuite\forms\java.
check out [url http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/webicons.pdf]Webicons it has both detailed steps to deploy icons in webforms and an easy and fast way to do it.

How to create iconic buttons in forms 10g.

I am trying to create a iconic buttons, same I am able to do it in forms 6i but not in 10g. And also please give me a proper example of java bean items in forms 10g

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

How to enable tracing in Oracle Forms 10g

Hi Friends,
I am interested to trace my running oracle forms application. When I googled it, I got below useful information. But theory and practical has mismatch somewhere, I am not able to create the trace file(s).
**************************** Some Notes ****************************************************
How to Enable Tracing in Oracle Forms 10g
Enable Tracing from the url by adding the following to your forms url:
&record=forms&tracegroup=0-98,100-199 (note: item 99 causes some issues, so we are skipping it here. See the Oracle documenation for a description of what is being traced for each item.)
for example
[http://machine:port/forms/frmservlet?config=myConfig&record=forms&tracegroup=0-98,100-199]
You will get a trace file in the following location:
%ORACLE_HOME%\forms\trace\forms_xxx.trc where xxx is the forms session ID.
Open dos window and do the following:
set ORACLE_HOME=
set PATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\jdk\bin;%PATH%
set CLASSPATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\jdbc\lib\classes12.zip;%ORACLE_HOME%\forms\java\frmxlate.jar
java oracle.forms.diagnostics.Xlate datafile=%ORACLE_HOME%\forms\trace\forms_xxx.trc outputfile=%ORACLE_HOME%\forms\trace\html_xxx.html outputclass=WriteOutHTML
you will get a file html_xxx.html in your %ORACLE_HOME%\forms\trace directory.
I need information beyond this to make this practically successful.
Thanks in advance,

The red, green and yellow buttons in the upper left corner of the screen disappear whenever I open Safari. I cannot minimize the Safari window which I often need to do if I am coordinating multiple windows between different applications. Does anyone know how to get those buttons back? I guess I could just switch betwen appliations, but I am used to doing it the other way.

You're welcome

LOV & Query in Forms 10g not working

Hi All,
I have a strange problem with custom forms that i am developing using Dev Suite 10g (10.1.2) for Oracle AS 10g (10.1.2.0.2).
When i test the form in DevSuite the LOVs in the form are working properly, but after i deploy the form on the server and use the default config the LOVs stop showing up.
The same happens with Execute Query. There is no error message displayed either.
Since the jiniitator was downloaded from the same server, so that cannot be the problem.
The version of java used is also the same, 1.4.2.
I have no idea why the forms are behaving like this on the server. Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance,
Arun

Dynamic LOV buttons in Forms

Hello:
The dynamic LOV button (app.ui.lovButtons=true) in Registry.dat setup is showing the LOV button in NORMAT Mode ONLY.
This does NOT get displayed when the form is in QUERY mode. Is there a way to display the LOV buttons irrespective of Query/Normal Mode?
Thanks

Anyone faced this issue before?

How to get the values of form valuess

Hi All,
Good Morning,
i create a page with some form valuesss
that form values are based on view attributes(vo)
i did some caluculations and store that values in form value variabless at the time of creating a row in table.
now i want to open that row in edit mode.
that time all text fields values are getting and displayed in text fieldss.
but that record form values are not getting.the form values store the null values.
how can u get the values of form value variables in the edit mode.
Thanks

Hi
ohh ,ok ,then as u said that u r storing twenty values ,thats y i aksed earlier ,are these form values part of tbale ,or as u said 20 values are there ,for these u r creating 20 form values ???.
My suggestion would be ,u do four calculation and put all your results in a hashmap ,and keep this hash map in to sesion ,using the following method
pageContext.putTransactionTransientValue("HashMapName",myHashMap);
and inside the PFR method when u want to display these values ,u can loop through your hashmap and can display these values.
like this
HasMap hm=pageContext.getTransactionTransientValue("HashMapName");
thanx

How to use LDAP with Oracle forms 10g on Oracle application server

Hi,
I need some help on this. I have developed oracle forms 10g on application server 9iAS. The client want to use the existing LDAP authentication to the software we wrote. I do not know how I could configure to use the existing LDAP authentication . If anyone know how would I use the existing LDAP on different server to use when they logon to our menu in 10g to validate the user. Do I need to add any varibales in formweb.cfg or any other method. Please help.
Thanks
Luksh

I am not quite sure if this works out of the box. According to an Oracle FAQ:
4.2 Can I use LDAP to authenticate Forms Services?
Not directly. However, Oracle Login Server is able to authenticate against a LDAP directory and thus a Forms application can take advantage of this in a SSO environment. But you cannot use access control information stored in a LDAP directory with Forms.
