How to keep a FORM  in background?

Hi all,
I have a multi-form application in what i use the first form as
the background containing some context data eg. an image,
username, logon-time, the logo of the company ,etc.I want it to
stay in the background all the time (begind another FORMs, that
are invoked using call_form in the pl/sql code of the menu
items).
The problem is , if the user click mouse in the first form (the
background one), it becomes active and the window of it becomes
the top-window right away.
Please suggest solutions.
thanx
nguyen

hi Bang,
thanx a lot. I've tried what you suggested. But still don't get
it. Previous_form, and next_form don't suit because my forms are
independent. If i use go_form built-in, the problem is the
following:
let's say, The forms opened are 'BACKGROUND_FORM', 'A', 'B',
'C'. Our user is working in 'B' , when accidently he/her clicks
the mouse in the window of 'BACKGROUDN_FORM' . So, we enforce a
user to leave the backgroung form by issuing GO_FORM('B') in the
mentioned when-window-activate trigger in 'BACKGROUND_FORM'.
Hereby only 'B' form become the top form but the others forms
window still stay behind 'BACKGROUND_FORM'.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  • How to keep premiere playing 'in background'...

    How can I keep premiere playing 'in the background' while I check my email, or do other stuff?
    Would appreciate any help - thanks!

    Premiere is an editor, not a player like VLC... you are supposed to be editing, not just playing
    I don't think what you want is possible... but, now that I've said that, someone else will come along with instructions

  • How to keep the form's shape across screens and resolutions?

    Hi All,
    I know that this question is repeated but I didnt found any solutions.
    When I develope a form on a 17 inch monitor and run it from another screen with another dimentions (e.g 15") it looks different the same problem exist when the resolution changed.
    Is there any solution???

    You need to build your forms canvas based on the LOWEST screen resolution you expect the users to use. You especially need to account for users with poor eyesight, who will run with extra low resolutions.
    We code all of our forms to display within the 800 x 600 aspect ratio, because we have some users who need to use that value. Such forms only use a quarter of a full screen on my monitor, but I am not writing forms for only my use.

    My audio apps keep playing in the background after I answer a phone call. How do I turn this off?

    Hello BobWeaver,
    It sounds like we need to troubleshoot the software on your device as that is not expected behavior.
    I would perform steps 1, 3 and 5 from the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant found here http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/. If you get to step 3, then I suggest closing all the apps. Here is step 1 to get you started:
    Restart iPhone
    To restart iPhone, first turn iPhone off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPhone will turn off after a few moments.
    Next, turn iPhone on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Is iPhone not responding? To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If your device does not turn on or displays a red battery icon, try recharging next.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • How do I completely remove a background from an image & keep it as a .jpeg?

    Hi , I already know how to remove backgrounds from images, and create a transparent background.  However, I need to be able to use the resulting image in another program  called Scratch.  And as far as I know, it does not accept  .tiff, .pgn, .psd or gifs.
    How do I completely remove that background so that it doesn't show up white in other programs when I save it as a .jpeg?

    Jpgs don't support transparency.  It looks like Scratch may support pngs and other formats, but the transparency may not come through.  From what I've read, you may have to use the transparency brush in Scratch to achive what you want.

  • Form field background color printing - acrobat pro 8, Windows

    My committee is tasked with making about 150 PDF forms writable and savable each year for a national organization. Over 3,000 people use these forms for reporting purposes, and also people who are entering contests, such as students, submit these forms. This is the first year my committee has made the forms savable, as it is a new feature in v8.
    PROCESS: The PDF forms we receive are generated in Quark and sent to us. We cannot use Live Cycle to make the forms writable, as it generates files sizes that are too big for some of our users to download. We draw form fields and set up calculations, etc. on the forms we receive. Making them savable is the last step in the process.
    PROBLEM: Some users have reported having the form fields print in blue or green. Usually upgrading to Reader 8+ solves this problem. Unfortunately, some users are sending in forms that are almost unreadable because the form fields have a colored background--(they didn't contact us). It's hard to determine how widespread this problem really is.
    I spoke with Adobe technical support and learned that this isn't a "known" issue. He suggested that setting the background to "white" in Quark before the PDF is generated might help.
    Does anyone have a solution that will keep these forms from printing colors in field backgrounds in earlier versions of Reader? Or any way to set the background color when NOT using Live Cycle?
    Thanks for any help!

  • How to clear a form

    Hi,
    since I've received no answer to my earlier question yet, I try to ask it again.
    I have a form to input data. The primary key of the new data record is created from a sequence. If I open the form the first time, everything is right. But if I save the new record and open the form again, the afore entered data are in the input fields and instead of "create" occurs "apply changes". I guess, the form gets the primary key of the saved data record instead of a new primary key from sequence. Where can I have an effect on that?
    The application is on the Oracle workspace "GILLETTEDH" and the application is 25515. The form I talk about is on tab "Input Form" (page 2).

    Bettina,
    I wasn’t referring to the processes or branches on the form page. You should keep them just as they were generated by the wizard. The branch I was talking about is the one that takes you to the form page. This is typically a report page or some kind of menu page. If you use the form & report wizard, then you’ll get that pre-build. The create button takes you to the form page and resets the form page session state and displays the form in create mode. The report link takes you to the form page while supplying a key to query data and displays the forum page in edit mode. So it depends on how you call the form page.
    If you just want to keep adding data though, i.e. create a record, return to page 2 and create another record, then resetting session state for page 2 and branching back to page 2 when clicking on create would be the right thing to do. Try creating a reset session state page process on page 2 and make it conditional on clicking “Create”.
    Also, when looking at your form, I found that your page process to generate the PK is currently set to “Never”. With that setting you won’t be able to create new records. You should make that process conditional on clicking on “Create” as well.
    You also may want to look into using before-insert triggers for generating the primary key. This would be a cleaner approach to generating this key than having a page process. By using triggers, the primary key would be generated no matter how to records gets inserted, i.e. by using this page, direct insert statement or another client interface.
    Hope this helps,
    Regards,
    Marc

  • How do I apply a specific background color in InDesign?

    The background color is identified in Ps as "edf7e4", and it is a very pale green.  How do I make this the background color for my book cover in InDesign?

    You must add a frame to your cover page(s) at the bottom of the stack and fill it with the color that you wish to use (you can keep the RGB definiton and convert on export, too, if you need CMYK for press). Don't forget to bleed the edges where required.

  • How to design a form with multiple lang(Arabic and Eng) in a page

    Hi All,
    Could you pls help me how to design a form with multiple languages. when I set the form proprties-->Form Locale as Arabic. English text is comming in reverse and when set the FormLocale as English, Arabic text is comming in revese.
    Pls help me how to design
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Jayakar

    I am not sure how you can have two different languages inside the same PDF.
    Alternatively, if you want to place only the static labels, you can convert all the static label in one language to images and set the form language setting to other. And place the images inside the form using Image field. For example, you can keep the form language as English and then convert all the arabic language labels/ Static text to images.
    Anotherway,
         Have same sections in both the languages and hide and unhide based on the user selection of the language..
         if your user chooses Arabic, then you can unhide the Arabic sections and change the form language properties programmatically..
    Thanks

  • How to be a Forms & PL/SQL Expert?

    Hi Experts, I am very new to Oracle Forms and PL/SQL. I have been doing development in Forms (mostly in 10g but I also in 6i) and PL/SQL for little over 2 years.
    My problem is, I don't know much about how to progress up the ladder to be an Oracle Forms & PL/SQL expert.
    My other big problem is trying to find out how to keep pace with the latest development in Forms and PL/SQL.
    For example, my manager asked me how to print a file in a client printer. I could not give him a solution at once. Only after couple of hours of searching did I find the solution using WebUtil.
    Another instance a manger asked me how to encrypt data in Oracle forms. Again I had to do an extensive search on the web.
    Can an "expert" give a solution at once, without going to the web?
    Another time I was asked to do a performance tuning and could not do it since I have not done before. I tried to follow the method found in this site using a personal DB in my machine but could not simulate a situation.
    How do you keep track of latest developments?
    Are their any sites to go to?
    Is there a routine you can follow?
    Do you have to do R&D regularly? How often?
    How many hours of reading web-sites (on Forms, PL/SQL stuff) should you do for a week?
    How do YOU experts do it?
    You advice would be greatly appreciated.

    First of all I don't consider myself an expert, so my advice here might be flawed as they are based on my experiences ;)
    Can an "expert" give a solution at once, without going to the web?Frankly I hardly know how to write a file using text_io or utl_file, or use some other somewhat regular-use supplied packages without looking them up in the documentation. Well I somehow know, but the code will most certainly throw compile errors. This is due to the fact that the entire oracle documentation is huge, and there are version dependend manuals, and I never liked memorizing things I could easily look up. It just doesn't make sense to memorize entire documentations when you can look them up. So even for basics I go to the web...
    For example, my manager asked me how to print a file in a client printer. I could not give him a solution at once. Only after couple of hours of searching did I find the solution using WebUtil. So in the end you found a solution yourself didn't you?
    Another instance a manger asked me how to encrypt data in Oracle forms. Again I had to do an extensive search on the web.I am around forms a few years, and I don't know an ad-hoc answer to that. I might have a clue, but for a advice I'd have to try and most certainly consult google.
    Another time I was asked to do a performance tuning and could not do it since I have not done before. I tried to follow the method found in this site using a personal DB in my machine but could not simulate a situation. And you know at least where to start now even if you didn't solve the problem, don't you?
    When I started programming C/C++ in school we had a teacher who I consider a C-Guru. Sometimes the answer to how would I implement X? was I don't know exactly yet, but let me do some research and I'll show you. Needless to say that we certainly got our answers. The same guy taught Java with the opening phrase I don't know much about Java, but it is Object-Oriented, the Syntax is C like,and the documentation is quite extensive. He explained things better to us then others who asserted knowing Java.
    IMHO curiosity and being keen to experiment are much more valuable then the ability to memorize manuals and APIs. You might solve your problems with your actual knowledge today, but tomorrow there are new challenges which require new knowledge to be accumulated.
    If you face a problem don't hesitate to get your hands dirty. If a program doesn't do what it's supposed to do fire up the debugger, look at diagnostic infos and see why it fails instead crying about that you don't know why. If you need to learn a new language install the compiler, and write code until it compiles and does what you want it to do. If you need to work with the new asdf server enterprise edition install it, turn it upside down, blow it's config into pieces until it stops working and maybe get it running after that.
    Everything else boils down to showing an active interest in the things you do. There is no formula saying "spend X hours a week on asktom and eventually become a database expert". I regularly (can't say how often) visit asktom because I like reading the questions there. I don't do it because I must or want to become an expert someday, it is simple curiosity.
    As for places to look this is answered easily: the key source for informations on new products is the vendors homepage. It's OTN for oracle, MSDN for microsoft, ubuntu.com for ubuntu, and what ever else. Technical articles etc. about the products are at least listed there.
    Of course in software development there is (at least) one rule which always applies:
    always write code as if the person who will maintain your code is a maniac serial killer that knows where you live

  • How to audit every form in the system

    Hello World,
    I have an idea to create a table to keep all the transactions history for all the tables like insert,update and delete.
    and to keep the form name and who did the transction too.
    anyone have this? or any idea to do this ?
    regards,

    How would the database now which "form" was used for entering the data of the transaction?
    What about updates/deletes/inserts that are not done via some data entry form, but done from a remote process, or web service, or batch job, or as native SQL statements entered in a command line client like sqlplus?
    And once you have this audit-every-form system, what then? How is the audit data going to be used? How is access to audit data going to be managed, secured, and even audited in turn? How is it going to be maintained as the audit data volume will simply grow and grow?

    Are you exporting as a PNG or exporting as a JPG?
    JPG doesn't support transparency so you'll have to export as a PNG and check the Transparency box.
