Icoinc button in 10g

I am trying to make a iconic button in my form10g . i set the button iconic property = YES and give the file source into iconic file name property.
But at run time is not showing any icon in button.
Please told me where is the proble.
Praveeen

hi..
i after enabling iconic property
U[b] have to copy all icons in the following
dirrectory.
DevSuiteHome_2\j2ee\DevSuite\application-deployments\f
orms\formswebIn 10g iconname is case sensitive.
This is applicable for DS setting not for Application
Server setting........

It doesn't necessarily has to be that directory, that directory is on your own machine.
Web Forms only accepts .gif files as icons and not .ico, moreover you have to save all the icons (gif files) in a .jar file and save the file under %ORACLE_HOME%/forms/java.
Read the white paper noted in the first post, there are several explanations on how to deploy icons on web forms.

I want to stop loop through push button forms 10g

I want to stop looping through push button forms 10g it is like (SwingWorker() in java) (DoEvent() in .net)
The problem in forms 10g that when you start looping the form will freeze and you can't push any button on form, I found solution for that in form 6i through package d2kwutil **WIN_API_UTILITY.InterruptCheck(hButton)**
But in 10g I can't find solution, Please help>>>>>
declare
     hButton          PLS_INTEGER;
begin
:interruptcheck.counter := 0;
hButton := get_item_property('INTERRUPTCHECK.PB_OFF',WINDOW_HANDLE);
go_item('interruptcheck.loopcount');
set_item_property('INTERRUPTCHECK.PB_OFF',ENABLED,PROPERTY_TRUE);
set_item_property('INTERRUPTCHECK.PB',ENABLED,PROPERTY_FALSE);
set_application_property(CURSOR_STYLE,'HELP');
set_application_property(CURSOR_STYLE,'<d2kwut60>WAIT');
for i in 1..:interruptcheck.loopcount LOOP
     if WIN_API_UTILITY.InterruptCheck(hButton) then
          exit;
     end if;
     :interruptcheck.counter := i;
     synchronize;
end loop;
set_item_property('INTERRUPTCHECK.PB_OFF',ENABLED,PROPERTY_FALSE);
set_item_property('INTERRUPTCHECK.PB',ENABLED,PROPERTY_TRUE);
set_application_property(CURSOR_STYLE,'DEFAULT');
end;

Ok, here's a working testcase.
The idea is taken from an article from an oracle magazine (i don't have it at hand, , so i tried to rebuild it by "memory". As far as i remember the original was from the german doag-magazine and was written by Gerd Volberg).
Procedure to do the looping:
PROCEDURE PR_DO_THE_LOOP IS
nNumberInOneStep NUMBER:=2;
tm               TIMER;
BEGIN
     DEFAULT_VALUE(0, 'GLOBAL.INDEX');
IF :GLOBAL.INDEX=0 THEN
     -- Didn't run yet, determine the max count
     :GLOBAL.MAX:=10000;
END IF;
LOOP
     -- Do the looping stuff
     -- Decrease counter
     nNumberInOneStep:=nNumberInOneStep-1;
     -- Increase globale counter
     :GLOBAL.INDEX:=:GLOBAL.INDEX+1;
     -- Exit conditions
     EXIT WHEN nNumberInOneStep=0;
     EXIT WHEN TO_NUMBER(:GLOBAL.INDEX)>=TO_NUMBER(:GLOBAL.MAX);
END LOOP;
-- reset index at end
IF TO_NUMBER(:GLOBAL.INDEX)>=TO_NUMBER(:GLOBAL.MAX) THEN
     :GLOBAL.INDEX:=0;
ELSE
     -- start timer for next iteration
     tm:=CREATE_TIMER('TM', 10, NO_REPEAT);
END IF;
END;The WHEN-TIMER-EXPIRED-trigger
IF :GLOBAL.INTERRUPTED='Y' THEN
     MESSAGE('Interrupted at index ' || :GLOBAL.INDEX);
ELSE
     PR_DO_THE_LOOP;
END IF;The WHEN-BUTTOn-PRESSED-trigger on the interrupt-button
:GLOBAL.INTERRUPTED:='Y';The WHEN-BUTTOn-PRESSED-trigger on the "start"-button
:GLOBAL.INTERRUPTED:='N';

Error in applying gif icon on a button in 10g forms

Dear users...I wanna apply a gif image on a push button named "Pb_Ext" in my form but I'm being failed in this simple task :( For this purpose I've taken the following steps.
1: I made Iconic property to "Yes" and in icon filename property I gave the gif file name, in my case that is "bdone", which I got from 10g forms directory. (Is it necessary to write file extension with file name? Although I've tried both ways.)
2: I set up icons path value in registry.dat file as: default.icons.iconpath=H:\10g_Tst\03\03
default.icons.iconextension=gif
3: In formsweb.cfg file registry.dat file is defined as:
serverApp=default
So is there anything else remaining to be set up? Can u guess that where is the fault?

One of this may help

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

Where condition for a column in BMM

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement where in the BMM(The LTS for this logical table is say 'Fact'), I need a logical column with the following definition.
count(Dim.status) where Dim.status = ' Accepted' (I didnt add the Dim table to the LTS yet, should I?)
I know that we can do a count(Dim.status) in the column source . but for the where Dim.status = ' Accepted' part im not sure what to do.
Should I bring the Dim table as a LTS and define the 'where' condition in the content tab? will that work?
but what if I have another logical column where I need dim.Status = 'Declined'( we have many more status)
Plz help

The suggest statement as Filter(count(Fact.Dollars) Using("dim.status = 'accepted'))
is based on Answers, this would care about the column is available in Subject Area or not thats it.
The same kind of functionality can get the using rpd.
There you might need to map/add (fact source properties and then map using pencil icon on 11g add button in 10g) the dim table to the fact
so that you can get the expression based on physical columns as
case when dim.status = 'accepted' then Fact.Dollars else 0 end
use Aggregate tab for sum;
Since you are using Fact.Dollars it suppose to be sum, ROW_WIDs go by counts
Hope this helps :) for more Qs send email

Attachment on Report 6i and 9ias

Hi,
We have several reports made with reports 6i which we run in pdf format through 9ias. Now we want the report to include attachments in the pdf output.
In the oracle report 6i apparantly you can only include text and bitmap files. How can we make it work for other formats so that the can be merged into one pfd output on 9ias.
Ame

Can I install report 10g, if I have report 6i already
on that machine?Yes. Just install it in new oracle home.
Is it just you need to open reports into 10G and
recompile them?.Yes. It worked for me.
Does anybody had any problems with the obselete
objects. like buttons,graphics etc.There are no buttons in 10g. I don't have any idea about graphics.
Also, I have to migrate reports 9i to 10g (for
different project) what do I need to do?Not much difference in 9i and 10g. Just recompile in 10g (9.0.4).

10g Forms closing when print button on smartbar used.

I have an application run on Application Server 10g (9.0.4). The client machine is Windows 98 runing IE 5.5. Everytime the print button in the smartbar is click and the printer dialog is display, then the ok button is click the oracle form application is closed.

Sorry for hijacking this thread, but I'm facing a similar problem.The time you used for writing this sentence would have been just the time you'd need to open a new thread ;-)
How do I specify that whenever a window in the form is closedIn the trigger at form-level you can check the content of :SYSTEM.EVENT_WINDOW, this contains the name of the window.

Buttons Not Working - 10g

Hi!
I created a new form - in dev suite 10g - added push buttons - trigger - WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED
Ex. one button just has Clear_Form;
The bottons work in dev suite 10g - Run Form, but when deployed to the application server - Linux - the buttons do not work and I do not get an error message. Any ideas why the buttons are not working or how I can debug this?
Thank you,
Annette

Just open it in Forms Builder env and press Ctrl+T so as a new .fmx to be generated.... or call the frmcmp exec file passing the form name as parameter.
Read the Forms on-line doc to find out the exact syntax....

Actully it is displaying like Can.....We have forms count nearly 300.We have diffent size buttons.
We have solution like
1.Manually
2.PC Creation
3.Java Class and Jar Files
4.JDAPI
5.Modify the basejini.htm
1.Add the below parameter in basejini.htm in OBJECT and EMBED tag respectively
<PARAM NAME="mapFonts" VALUE="Yes" >
clientDPI="%clientDPI%"
2. clientDPI=100 add this entry under your customized config name.
The method five,we have tried.But there is no changes after this changes also.
Can you guys please let us know the correct menthod(with steps 1 by 1) to do this in quickly.
2.There are look and feel 2 types oracle and generic,rather than this do we have any other type.We are looking for any cusrtomized settings in config files.

Hi All,
We have migrated to forms6i to forms10g, in 6i all the push button labels are displaying properly, but in 10g forms its giving dots like this … after displaying some characters. I guess its width problem but how come its changing in 10g alone.
Kindly give me any workaround to resolve this issue

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
JAK

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.
