How to use MS TreeView Control in Forms 5.0 ?

I want to Use Microsoft TreeView Control in forms as my user demands a hierachical view of data . he also wants to update data same as we see in windows explorer left side pane, (drag - drop - copy -paste). Can any one tell me hw to do that. i have added the ocx file to forms but i want to know what to write to accomplish that ??
Please help ???

MS Treeview is an activeX control. You may have to go through the MSDN to find out how to import images.

How to use the treeview control

I tried to use the treeview in the form builder.
But I failed.
If anyone can give me the guideline or related data,
I'll be grateful.
Thanks.

Hi,
Based on your description, my understanding is that you want to use treeview control in InfoPath 2013.
Per my knowledge, There is no treeview control in Infopath 2013. Have you used the solution from third party? if it is , I suggest that you seek the third party for help.
Besides, here is a similar post, you can take a look at:

[Forum FAQ] How to use parameter to control the Expand/Collapse drill-down options in SSRS report?

In SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), drill-down is an action we can apply to any report item to hide and show other report items. They all are ways that we can organize and display data to help our users understand our report better. In this article,
we are talking about how to use parameter to control the Expand/Collapse drill-down options in SSRS report.
Consider that the report has a dataset (dsSales) with following fields: SalesTerritoryGroup, SalesTerritoryCountry, CalendarYear, SalesAmount.
1. The report has the following group settings:
Parent Group: SalesTerritoryGroup
Child Group: SalesTerritoryCountry
  Child Group: CalendarYear
   Details: SalesAmount
2. Add three parameters in the report:
GroupExpand:
Available Values: “Specify values”
Label: Yes           Value: Yes
Label: No            Value: No
Default Values: “Specify values”
Value: Yes
CountryExpand:
Available Values: “Specify values”
Label: Yes           Value: =IIF(Parameters!GroupExpand.Value="No",Nothing,"Yes")
Label: No            Value: No
Default Values: “Specify values”
Value: =IIF(Parameters!GroupExpand.Value="No","No","Yes")
YearExpand:
Available Values: “Specify values”
Label: Yes
Value: =IIF(Parameters!GroupExpand.Value="No" or Parameters!CountryExpand.Value="No",Nothing,"Yes")
Label: No            Value: No
Default Values: “Specify values”
Value: =IIF(Parameters!GroupExpand.Value="No" or Parameters!CountryExpand.Value="No","No","Yes")
3. Right click SalesTerritoryCountry icon in the Row Groups dialog box, select Group Properties.
4. Click Visibility in the left pane. Select “Show or hide based on an expression” and type with following expression:
=IIF(Parameters!GroupExpand.Value="Yes", False, True)
Select “Display can be toggled by this report item” option, and select “SalesTerritoryGroup” in the drop down list.
5. Use the same method setting CalendarYear, (Details) drill-down with following expression:
=IIF(Parameters!CountryExpand.Value="Yes", False, True)
=IIF(Parameters!YearExpand.Value="Yes", False, True)
6. Click SalesTerritoryGroup text box in the tablix. Select InitialToggleState property in the Properties dialog box, and type following expression:
=IIF(Parameters!GroupExpand.Value="Yes", True, False)
7. Use the same method setting SalesTerritoryCountry, CalendarYear text box with following expression:
=IIF(Parameters!CountryExpand.Value="Yes", True, False)
=IIF(Parameters!YearExpand.Value="Yes", True, False)
After that, when we preview the report, we can use these three parameters to expand/collapse drill-down.
Note:
In our test, we may meet following issue. We can check the expression of InitialToggleState property to troubleshooting the issue.

How to use MICR fonts in Adobe forms (webdynpro java

Hi,
We have a requirement where we need to print some MICR codes (for checks) through Adobe Forms.
I have installed some true type MICR fonts in windows and Adobe Font Manager (in ADS) as well.
It is visible in the Adobe Form design time (Font palette) and when I use the font for text, it is visible in preview too. But when I run the web dynpro application, in the online form it is converted into Standard font (Times new Roman).
Is there anyway to handle this issue.
Please let me know.

set lv [::tcom::ref createobject "LabView.Application"]
# Create a reference to the VI. (You may want to use

Hi,
I'm not too familiar with tcom interfacing with LabVIEW, but you may want to check out other DFs, such as this one here. Would it be possible to printscreen the LabVIEW error you are talking about- "high freq not found...". Furthermore, you may want to confirm the functionality of the script with the person who made it.
I hope this helps,

How to use the custom control ?

Hi Friends,
plz help to use of custom control in screen painter ?
and how to use the custom control ?
Thanking you.
Regards,
Subash.

HI,
Screen Elements
A screen can contain a wide variety of elements, either for displaying field contents, or for allowing the user to interact with the program (for example, filling out input fields or choosing pushbutton functions). You use the Screen Painter to arrange elements on the screen.
You can use the following elements:
·        Text fields
Display elements, which cannot be changed either by the user or by the ABAP program.
·        Input/output fields and templates
Used to display data from the ABAP program or for entering data on the screen. Linked to screen fields.
·        Dropdown list boxes
Special input/output fields that allow users to choose one entry from a fixed list of possible entries.
·        Checkbox elements
Special input/output fields that the user can either select (value X) or deselect (value SPACE). Checkbox elements can be linked with function codes.
·        Radio button elements
Special input/output fields that are combined into groups. Within a radio button group, only a single button can be selected at any one time. When the user selects one button, all of the others are automatically deselected. Radio button elements can be linked with function codes.
·        Pushbuttons
Elements on the screen that trigger the PAI event of the screen flow logic when chosen by the user. There is a function code attached to each pushbutton, which is passed to the ABAP program when it is chosen.
·        Frame
Pure display elements that group together elements on the screen, such as radio button groups.
·        Subscreens
Area on the screen in which you can place another screen.
·        Table controls
Tabular input/output fields.
·        Tabstrip controls
Areas on the screen in which you can switch between various pages.
·        Custom Controls
Areas on the screen in which you can display controls. Controls are software components of the presentation server.
·        Status icons
Display elements, indicating the status of the application program.
·        OK field
Every screen has a twenty-character OK_CODE field (also known as the function code field) that is not displayed directly on the screen. User actions that trigger the PAI event also place the corresponding function code into this field, from where it is passed to the ABAP program. You can also use the command field in the standard toolbar to enter the OK field. To be able to use the OK field, you need to assign a name to it.
All screen elements have a set of attributes, some of which are set automatically, others of which have to be specified in the Screen Painter. They determine things such as the layout of the screen elements on the screen. You can set the attributes of screen elements in the Screen Painter - either for a single element, or using the element list, which lists all of the elements belonging to the current screen. Some of the attributes that you set statically in the Screen Painter can be overwritten dynamically in the ABAP program.

Using Microsoft's TreeView Control in Forms 5.0

I created the OCX item, assigned it the OLE class 'COMCTL.TreeCtrl.1', inserted Microsoft TreeView Control 5.0, imported the appropriate OLE packages and set the appropriate OCX specific properties. With all that done, I created a simple code to clear the nodes collection and then populate it with two dummy nodes. The following is that snippet of code:
PROCEDURE DO$TREE_INIT(
i_study_id IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL
) IS
v_inodes COMCTLLIB_CONSTANTS.INODES;
v_inode0 COMCTLLIB_CONSTANTS.INODE;
v_inode1 COMCTLLIB_CONSTANTS.INODE;
BEGIN
-- Get pointer to the treeview control's nodes collection.
v_inodes := COMCTL_ITREEVIEW.NODES(:item('CB_MAIN.OCX_TREE').interface);
-- Clear nodes collection
COMCTL_INODES.CLEAR(v_inodes);
-- Create initial tree structure when provided with a study.
IF (i_study_id IS NOT NULL) THEN
v_inode0 := COMCTL_INODES.OLE_ADD(
interface => v_inodes
,relative => OLEVAR_NULL
,relationship => OLEVAR_NULL -- TO_VARIANT(COMCTLLIB_CONSTANTS.TVWFIRST, vtype => VT_R8)
,key => TO_VARIANT('STUD|AA|123|BC|12', vtype => VT_BSTR)
,text => TO_VARIANT('Dursban MOR Study (12312123)', vtype => VT_BSTR)
,image => OLEVAR_NULL
,selectedimage => OLEVAR_NULL
v_inode1 := COMCTL_INODES.OLE_ADD(
interface => v_inodes
,relative => TO_VARIANT(COMCTL_INODE.OLE_INDEX(v_inode0), vtype => VT_R8)
,relationship => TO_VARIANT(COMCTLLIB_CONSTANTS.TVWCHILD, vtype => VT_R8)
,key => TO_VARIANT('FF+|AA|123|BC|12', vtype => VT_BSTR)
,text => TO_VARIANT('Facility Functions', vtype => VT_BSTR)
,image => OLEVAR_NULL
,selectedimage => OLEVAR_NULL
END IF;
END DO$TREE_INIT;
My form complies properly but during runtime I get this error:
FRM-40735: < ... > trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-100504.
This form is very simple. It contains only one control block, the tree control, OLE packages, WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger, and this package. I have tried everything within my understanding. Do you have any suggestions?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rahul

I have the same situation too. The only solution
I could think of is to install "Additional ActiveX"
from custom VB5 installation. Besides there is
a problem when VB6 is installed, because the controls are
called "Microsft TreeView ... (SP2)".
If you find any progress , keep me in touch :) ...

How to use Source Code Control for Large Application?

Hi, All!
I would like to collect knowledge about "best practice" examples for using Source Code Control and project organization for relative large application (let's say approx 1000 SubVIs).
Tools used:
LabVIEW 8.0
CVS Server
PushOK CVS Proxy Client
WinCVS
With LabVIEW 8 we can organize large project pretty well. This described in article Managing Large Applications with the LabVIEW Project.
I have read this article too: Using Source Control Software with LabVIEW In this Article Source Safe used, but with PushOK all looks nearby the same and works (some tricks for compare function are required).
Example. Two developers working together on same project. Internally project is modular, so one developer will work with module "Analysis", and another one with "Configuration" without interferences. These modules placed into Subfolders as shown in example above.
Scenario 1:
Developer A started with modification of module "Analysis". Some files checked out. He would like to add some SubVIs here. So, he must also perform check out for the project file (*.lvproj), otherwise he cannot add anything into project structure.
Developer B at the same time would like to add some new functions into module "Configuration". He also needed to check out project file, but this file already checked out by Developer A (and locked). So, he must wait until lvproj file will be checked in. Another way is mark *.lvproj files as text files in PushOK, but then one of developers will get conflict message by checking in and then merging will be necessary. This situation will coming very often, because in most cases *.lvproj file will be checked out all the time.
Question: Which practice is better for such situation? Is Libraries better than folder for large project?
Scenario 2:
Developer C joined to the team. First, he must get complete project code for starting (or may be at least code of one Library, which assigned to him).
Question: How it can be done within LabVIEW IDE? Or WinCVS (or other SCC UI) should be used for initial checkout?
Scenario 3:
Developer D is responcible for Build. Developers A,B,C have added lot of files into modules "Analysis", Configuration" and "FileIO". For building he need to get complete code. If our project splitted into folders, he should get latest *.lvproj first, then newly added SubVIs will appear in Project Explorer, then he should expand tree, select all SubVIs and get latest versions for all. If Project organized in Libraries, he must do the same for each library, isn't?.
Question: Is this "normal way", or WinCVS should be used for this way? In WinCVS its possible with two mouseclicks, but I prefer to get all code from CVS within LabVIEW IDE recursively...
That was a long post... So, if you already working with LabVIEW 8 with SCC used for large project, please post your knowledge here about project structure (Folders or Libraries) and best practices, its may be helpful and useful for all of us. Any examples/use cases/links etc are appreciated.
Thank you,
Andrey

Regarding your scenarios:
1. Using your example, let's say both developers checked out version 3
of the project file. Assuming that there are only files under the
directories in the example project, when Developer A checks in his
version of the project, there will be new files in one section of the
project separate from where Developer B is working. Developer B,
notices that there is now a version 4 of the project. He needs to
resolve the changes so will need to merge his changes to the latest
version of project file. Since the project file is a text file, that is
easy to do. Where an issue arrises is that after Developer B checks in
his merged changes, there is a revision 5. When Developer A and B go to
make another change, they get the latest version which will have the
merged changes to the project file but not the referenced files from
both Developer A and B. So when A opens version 5, he sees that he is
missing the files that B checked in and visa versa. Here is where the
developers will needs to manually use the source control client and,
external to LabVIEW, get those new files.
Where libraries help with the above scenario is that the library is a
separate file from the project so changes made to it outside of the
project do not require the project to be modified. So this time, the
developers are using a single project again which time time references
two libraries. The developers check out the libraries, make changes to
the libraries, and then check those changes in. So when each developer
opens the project file, since it references the project file, the
changes to the library will be reflected. There is still the issue of
the new files not automatically coming down when the latest version of
the library is obtained. Again, the developers will needs to manually
use the source control client and, external to LabVIEW, get those new
files. In general, you should take advantage of the the modularity that
libraries provide.
2. As noted in the above scenario, there is no intrinsic mechanism to
get all files referenced by a LabVIEW project. Files that are missing
will be noted. The developer will then have to use the source control
provider's IDE to get the initial contents of the project (or library).
3. See above scenarios.

How to use nested tables in adobe form

Hi All,
I have to use nested tables in adobe form for table display. I have used Subforms for displaying table data. I have changed accessibility of the subforms. Currently i am able to print print the table correctly if there is single material record in table 1 and single corresponding record in table 2. But the requirement is that i will have multiple lines in table 1 for single material and only one record in table 2.
EX: form is for Sales order. in line items if the order is for 100 units then we if we have delivered material as 80, 10, 10, then table 1 will have 3 lines for this. Table 2 will always have only 1 corresponding record.
item--materialdescription-ordered qty--delivered qty--delivery date-price
xxx--xxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-10080xxxxxxxxxx-xxxx
10----
xxxxxxxxxx
10----
xxxxxxxxxx
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy------yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
xxxxxx is table 1 and will have multiple lines
yyyyyy is table 2 and will have only 1 entry for item xxx
and this group will be repeate as per no of items. table 1 can have any no of lines per item.
I am currently able to display 1 line for table 1 and 1 line for table 2.
But how to show multiple lines for table 1 and 1 line for table 2.

HI,
Set the body page as flowed and set the tables also flowed.
go to bodypage>object->subform-->select flowed option.
I thihnk this will work..if u are getting all the records properly into the tables 1 and 2.
Thanks,

How to use a custom.dll in forms 6i

Hi,
i have made a small dll using a icon-making software, that software has made a .dll of the icon I made in that software
Now i want to use that .dll in my forms 6i. (client/server)
the dll contains only one icon named 'Icon1'
would any one please tell me how can I call that icon in that .dll to view in my forms button at run time..
is this possible..??
just for clarification, for security reasons I am not using the .ico of that icon diect from hardisk in my button thats why i made a .dll of that so that the user may not be able copy my icon
thanks in advance,

Here is the doc
Doc ID:      Note:99824.1
Subject:      How to Display User-Defined Cursors and Icons in Forms
Type:      BULLETIN
Status:      PUBLISHED
     Content Type:      TEXT/X-HTML
Creation Date:      23-FEB-2000
Last Revision Date:      30-OCT-2002
PURPOSE
The purpose of this note is to explain how to display customized
cursors and icons in Forms 6.0 on Windows platform (32 bits).
Assumption is made that resources are stored in a DLL, which is
available in the path at runtime.
It is mandatory to store the cursor in a DLL to make it available
with Forms: .cur cursor files cannot be directly loaded from the
file system.
On the other hand, icons .cio files can directly be read from the
filesystem by Forms Runtime. However we will focus on icons which are
stored in a DLL.
The article is divided into two main parts:
- how to build a resource-only DLL with Visual C++ 5.0
- how to display the cursor and the icon in Forms 6.0
SCOPE & APPLICATION
The intended audience needs to have basic knowledge in Forms Builder
and also in Visual C++ (or any other Win32 compiler).
A typical environment is Forms 6.0, Visual C++ 5.0 and Windows NT.
WHAT IS A RESOURCE ?
A resource can be considered as some extra binary information that can
be added to an executable file. Windows resources are for example icons,
cursors, menus, dialog boxes, keyboard-accelerator tables and much more.
Resources are usually stored in a .rc file, which is compiled by the
resource compiler in order to provide a .res file. These compiled resources
can then be appended to a binary executable file or a DLL.
For instance, Visual C++ 5.0 includes a resource editor which allows you to
draw your icons and your cursors, and store them in a resource file.
Part I - BUILDING A RESOURCE-ONLY DLL
Consider the following setup:
- myicon.ico: icon file
- mycur.cur: cursor file
The objective of this section is to build a DLL called proj.dll which
contains both the icon and the cursor. This operation requires several steps.
Step 1: Create a project
In Visual C++, select menu File->New... In the dialog box, choose the Projects
tab and pick "Win32 Dynamic Link-Library". Fill the project name (e.g. Proj)
and the location (e.g. c:\MyProjects). Check 'Create new workspace', check
Win32 as target platform and click on OK.
This creates a directory c:\MyProjects\Proj, where necessary .rc and .cpp
files can be stored. Place the .ico and .cur files in this directory too.
Step 2: Add a resource file to the project
Create a proj.rc file, edit it and make sure it contains the following lines:
testcur CURSOR DISCARDABLE "mycur.cur"
testico ICON DISCARDABLE "myicon.ico"
This is the resource file. Using the Project->Add to Project->Files... menu,
select the proj.rc file and add it to the current project.
Step 3: Add a dummy C++ file to the project
Create a proj.cpp file, edit it and make sure it contains the following lines:
#include <windows.h>
extern "C"
BOOL WINAPI DllMain (HINSTANCE hInstance, DWORD dwReason, LPVOID)
     return 1;
This creates an entry-point in the DLL. This function does nothing but is mandatory
to have a DLL after the build of the project.
Add the proj.cpp file to the project as described in Step 2.
Step 4: Choose the target type
At this moment, you can choose if you need a 'DEBUG' or a 'RELEASE' flavour of
the DLL. As there is not much to debug in this DLL, the 'RELEASE' flavour is
recommended. Furthermore, it is much more compact.
Using the Build->Set Active Configuration... menu, choose the Proj - Win32 Release
as the active configuration.
Step 5: Build the DLL
Now, it is time to compile the resource file, compile the C++ file, link both
together and build the proj.dll DLL. This operation is performed by using the
Build->Rebuild All menu.
After a short time, you should see "Proj.dll - 0 error(s), 0 warning(s)" in
the Visual C++ message window. This means that the DLL was built successfully.
Step 6: Place the DLL in the appropriate directory
The proj.dll file is currently located under the c:\MyProjects\Proj\Release
directory. Copy it in an appropriate directory which is reachable in the
runtime environment path.
Part II - USING THE ICON AND CURSOR IN THE FORM
At this stage the DLL is created and can be used in the Form application.
Again, this is a multi-step procedure.
Step 1: Load the DLL in the Forms Runtime environment
Assuming the proj.dll DLL is placed in a directory pointed by the
PATH environment variable, below is the piece of PL/SQL code which loads
the DLL into the Forms Runtime environment. This code can be placed in the
WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger for example:
declare
     hDLL     ORA_FFI.LIBHANDLETYPE;
begin break;
     --Preload the DLL so the cursor and Icons can be found.
     -- I'm assuming the DLL is in the path here
     hDLL := ORA_FFI.LOAD_LIBRARY(NULL,'proj.dll');
exception
     when ORA_FFI.FFI_ERROR then
          for i in 1..TOOL_ERR.NERRORS LOOP
               message(TOOL_ERR.MESSAGE(i));
          end LOOP;
end;
Step 2: Display the cursor stored in the DLL
Now, you may want to change the cursor when the user clicks on
a specific button. This is an example of code that could be set
in the WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger:
set_application_property(CURSOR_STYLE,'<proj>TESTCUR');
<proj> refers to the proj.dll. Please note the < and > signs
which are mandatory there. TESTCUR is the name of the cursor resource
as defined in the proj.rc file.
Step 3: Display the icon stored in the DLL
You may also want to change the icon of an iconic button after
some specific end-user action. The appropriate code for that is:
set_item_property('IBUTTON',ICON_NAME,'<proj>TESTICO');
IBUTTON is a PushButton, with the Iconic property set to Yes.
TESTICO is the name of the icon resource as defined in the proj.rc file.
Asim.

How to use java programe in oracle form

Hello Expert,
My Config is : -
Forms [32 Bit] Version 11.1.1.3.0 (Production)
Jdeveloper - 10.1.3
I want to use the java programe in form builder. I create the one java class in Jdeveloper -
package demo;
import java.net.InetAddress;
import java.net.NetworkInterface;
import java.net.SocketException;
import java.net.UnknownHostException;
public class get_info{
   public static void main(String[] args){
   ch_add();
   public static void ch_add()
InetAddress ip;
try {
ip = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
/*System.out.println("Current IP address : " + ip.getHostAddress()); */
NetworkInterface network = NetworkInterface.getByInetAddress(ip);
byte[] mac = network.getHardwareAddress();
/*System.out.print("Current MAC address : ");   */
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < mac.length; i++)
sb.append(String.format("%02X%s", mac[i], (i < mac.length - 1) ? "-" : ""));
System.out.println(sb.toString());
} catch (UnknownHostException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (SocketException e){
e.printStackTrace();
and this into Formweb.cfg and default.env and also add into Form_class_path. After that i import this java into forms.

I read both document which is given by you.
Basicaly i don't know how to call java program in form builder.
I wrote this code on When-button-pressed
DECLARE
jo ora_java.jobject;
rv varchar2(1500);
ex ora_java.jobject;
BEGIN
jo := get_info.new;
rv:=get_info.ch_add(jo );
EXCEPTION
WHEN ORA_JAVA.JAVA_ERROR then
message (' Unable to call out to Java, ' ||ORA_JAVA.LAST_ERROR );
message('');
WHEN ORA_JAVA.EXCEPTION_THROWN then
ex := ORA_JAVA.LAST_EXCEPTION;
message(' Unable to call out to Java ' ||Exception_.toString (ex ) );
message(' Unable to call out to Java ' ||Exception_.toString (ex ) );
END;
No error comes and no output comes. I want the client MAC ID. please guide me where i need to change the code.

How to use BULK COLLECT in oracle forms

hi gurus,
I am using oracle forms
Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.0.2 (Production)
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - ProductionI wanna use bulk collect from database table lets say <employees>
while working on database level with collections and records it's working very well for me, but when I try to use that technique on oracle forms it hits me error
error 591 this feature is not supported in client side programmingI know I can use cursors to loop through the records of oracle tables ,
but I'm convenient while using collections and arrays
for example
Set Serveroutput On
Declare
      Type Rec_T Is Record (
       Empid Number ,
       Empname Varchar2(100)
      Type V_R Is Table Of Rec_T Index By Binary_Integer;
      V_Array V_R;
Begin
   Select Employee_Id , First_Name
   Bulk Collect
   Into V_Array
      From Employees;
   For Indx In V_Array.First..V_Array.Last Loop
   Dbms_Output.Put_Line('employees id '||V_Array(Indx).Empid ||'and the name is '||V_Array(Indx).Empname);
   End Loop;
     End;I wanna use this same way on oracle forms , for certain purposes , please guide me how can I use ...
thanks...

For information, you can use and populate a collection within the Forms application without using the BULK COLLECT
Francoisactually I want to work with arrays , index tables ,
like
         record_type (variable , variable2);
         type type_name <record_type> index by binary_integer
        type_variable type_name;
        and in main body of program
        select something
        bulk collect into type_variable
        from any_table;
       loop
            type_variable(indx).variable , type_variable(indx).variable2;
       end loop;
       this is very useful for my logic on which I am working
          like
          type_variable(indx).variable || type_variable(indx-1);
         if it's possible with cursors then how can I use cursor that can fullfill my this logic@Francois
if it's possible then how can i populate without using bulk collect?
thanks
and for others replies: if I can use stored procedures please give me any example..
thanks
