I am trying to show an ICON for a Button
in Forms 4.5 under Windows OS.
I am not able to find any of these

Using search help icon for a button

Hi Experts,
For a Webdynpro layout I have created a button and I want to assign an icon/image similar to the search help image(two squares type).
Is there any way to assign the webdynpro search help icon to a button?
I was searching in ImageSource under Button property but did not find any similar image. Else Is there any option to upload and assign an image to the button?
Thanks.

Hi,
Under properties of button press F4 in image source attribute, you can select standard SAP icons, if not you can upload icon to your web dynpro component and then press F4 and select Component images tab and select your icon.
For uploading icons to web dynpro abap check this reference: [Displaying Logos in WDA|http://www.****************/Tutorials/WebDynproABAP/Logo/Page1.htm]
Hope this helps u.,
Thanks & Regards,
Kiran.

Change title, tooltip and icon for About button in published Webhelp?

About Webhelp is just plain wrong. The tooltip ought to read "About <project name>" and the title bar for the About window should be eliminated (or else have it read About <project ver xx>.
How do I do this?
Likewise, is it possible to change the ICON for the About dialog in the toolbar of a published Webhelp project?

I have the same issue.
I modified the whskin_banner.htm file to control what displays for the About button. The only thing I can't figure out is how to modify the tooltip. It still says "About Webhelp" when you hover over it.
I searched the whskin_banner.html file for the words "About Webhelp" but nothing was found. I looked in the Edit Skin wizard and couldn't find anything either. I also searched the Skinny on Skins and it doesn't address this issue.
How do I change the About tooltip? Did I miss something?
Thanks!

Set Icon for toggle button

I created Icon with Borderpane, image and text which I want to set as button icon.
@Override

How I can remove the default togglebutton and use the my custom icon as a button?

Yes, they are icons and they are called "handles". The easiest way to change then is to use UIManager.
If you haven't done so before, look through the hash table UIManager.getLookAndFeelDefaults().
import java.awt.*;
import java.net.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class TreeIcons {
     public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException {
          String prefix = "http://forum.java.sun.com/images/";
          UIManager.put("Tree.openIcon", new ImageIcon(new URL(prefix + "dont_save.gif")));
          UIManager.put("Tree.closedIcon", new ImageIcon(new URL(prefix + "save.gif")));
          UIManager.put("Tree.leafIcon", new ImageIcon(new URL(prefix + "forum_new.gif")));
          UIManager.put("Tree.expandedIcon", new ImageIcon(new URL(prefix + "email_faded.gif")));
          UIManager.put("Tree.collapsedIcon", new ImageIcon(new URL(prefix + "email.gif")));
          JFrame f = new JFrame("TreeIcons");
          f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          f.getContentPane().add(new JTree());
          f.setSize(new Dimension(300,400));
          f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
          f.setVisible(true);

Custom icon for bar button item on iPhone?

Hey all,
I'm trying to set a custom image as a bar button item in my iPhone app and can't figure it out. I don't want the image inside a button, I want the image to be the button itself. If I use initWithCustomView the area isn't clickable anymore (unless I'm missing something).
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,
Mike O.

I am having the exact same problem, but I cannot figure out the solution. I tried initWithCustomView: with a UIImageView, and then with a UIButton. If I set the UIBarButtonItem's target and action, that method does NOT get called in either scenario, and when i set the UIButton's target and action in the latter scenario, it STILL does not get called. Could you post your working sample code? Here is an example of my code which DOES NOT WORK!
UIButton * button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[button setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"NowPlaying.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[button addTarget:self action:@selector(nowPlayingButtonClicked) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
nowPlaying = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:button];
nowPlaying.action = @selector(nowPlayingButtonClicked);
nowPlaying.target = self;
Thanks for your help.

Setting icon for buttons in labview 6i

Hi All,
Currently i am working on Labview 6i. i created two buttons in my vi one button is used to perform the test, another will be used to exit from the test. i would like to add icons for those buttons. can anyone tell me how to add icons for buttons.
Thanks,
kalpana

You realize that LabVIEW 6.0 is at least 15 years old? That would be almost equivalent to working with a Windows 98 machine nowadays!
Yes your picture can't be imported in LabVIEW 6.0 on my machine either. I haven't checked about all the details, but the LabVIEW import in 6.0 doesn't seem to work for png and gif images but only for bmp. Newer versions do work for your png file including honoring the transparency at least since version 7.1.

How can I change the icon for the bookmarks menu button

Using linux, the default icon for the bookmarks menu button is quite ugly. Is there a way to change the icon for the button with some code in userChrome.css ?

After several intents, I found a solution.
This is my userChrome.css file:
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");
toolbarbutton[class="toolbarbutton-1"]#bookmarks-menu-button image[class="toolbarbutton-icon"] {
list-style-image: url("bookmark_gray.png") !important;
-moz-image-region: rect(0px, 0px, 0px, 24px) !important;}
Probably it's messy but works.

Why not autoskip for radio buttons? and the update_allowed FALSE issue

I would so dearly love there to be autoskip for radio buttons. (forms 11.1.1.4 jre 6...24) There is no autoskip property for the radio group nor for the individual buttons.
I don't find an easy way to emulate it either. Or am I missing something?
Anyone else solve this problem already? When the user selects a radio choice I want the focus to move
to the next enabled item on the form. You can do this with text items but not with radio groups. (In some cases the radio group has a when-radio-changed trigger
that enables/disables following items). This would all be a lot easier if radio groups just had autoskip. I wonder why they don't?
BTW the following has cost me a huge amount of time. In 6i it was the case in my experience that if you
disabled an item like this:
PROCEDURE disable_item (myitem in varchar2) IS
BEGIN
     copy(null,myitem);
        set_item_property(myitem,enabled,property_false);
     set_item_property(myitem,visual_attribute,'DISABLED');
END;Then that could be reversed as so (the weird thing was you had to set navigable also despite not
having changed it yourself.
PROCEDURE enable_item (myitem in varchar2) IS
BEGIN
set_item_property(myitem,enabled,property_true);
set_item_property(myitem,navigable,property_true);
set_item_property(myitem,visual_attribute,'ENABLED');
END;But in 11.1.1.4 I had lots of trouble with Lov's not rising after the item had been disabled and then
re-enabled. No error message. Just didn't do it. Eventually I figured out that what happens is that
after disabling an item the item as also non-updateable. This was not the case in 6i. So then
the enable item code has to be something like this: [Note despite that not update_allowed it did not
automatically grey out the item firefox 3.6.17 and it still has to be done programmatically.]
PROCEDURE enable_item (myitem in varchar2) IS
BEGIN
set_item_property(myitem,enabled,property_true);
set_item_property(myitem,navigable,property_true);
set_item_property(myitem,visual_attribute,'ENABLED');
set_item_property(myitem,update_allowed,property_true);
END;

Well right now 11.1.1.4 for autoskip for radio buttons this seems to be working ok. Crossing my fingers!
a block level when-radio-changed trigger with after scope (where item level when-radio-changed triggers
have before scope) with a simple next_item in there.
Where I was having problems before was next_item-ing onto disabled items. There was some kind of issue
with lov's. I'm having less trouble raising the lov programmatically. but also I had the problem that
items were getting set non-update_allowed without my realization.
when new item instance:
declare
     currfield varchar2(70) := null;
begin
     currfield := :system.trigger_field;
if (get_item_property(currfield,UPDATE_ALLOWED) = 'TRUE')
     and (get_item_property(currfield,UPDATE_PERMISSION) = 'TRUE') then
       list_values;
else
     mess(currfield || ' UPDATE not allowed');
end if;
end;(mess is my program to display alerts.)

Trouble displaying icon on push button in 6i Forms

Hi,
I'm having trouble displaying an icon on a button at both design and run times. I'm using Forms 6i with client/server enviornment. I have tried to follow several forums regarding icon setup and the Whitepaper articles. I have tried different suggestions but am still unable to get the icon. Here's my latest attempt:
1. Copied .jar file to C:\Oracle_Developer_9i\forms90\java folder
2. Modified formsweb.cfg (in the serverApp=default section) and included the following:
archive_jini=f90all_jinit.jar,myAppIcons.jar
imagebase=codebase
3. In button's properties I set:
iconic = 'Yes'
icon filename = C:\Oracle_Developer_9i\forms90\java\myAppIcons.jar
My guess is that I didn't copy the icon files (from the .jar file) correctly. As suggested in the Whitepaper, I don't have the c:\ myApp\ icons directory. I did a search for an icon directory and found multiple icons folders (due to other oracle projects installed on my pc) but don't know which one to use. Being that I'm using 6i and the instructions were for 9i I didn't know if the directory/folder name is different. Is there another directory/folder (using 6i) where I should copy all the .gif files from in addition to storing the .jar file in the C:\Oracle_Developer_9i\forms90\java directory?
Also, I feel that I'm not calling it correctly from the location in step 3. Being that the icon exists in the jar file, how would I reference it within the file? Does anybody have any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Eric

Robin,
I tried your suggestions but am still unable to view the icon. Here's what I now have tried.
1. I've created UI_ICONS in the windows registry under the form's oracle home and am calling c:\icons from that variable.
2. In c:\icons, I copied the .jar file's contents (search.gif) into this folder. This is where I may have a problem in addition to my next step in calling the filename. You mentioned in your first post to put my .ICO files there. Should I rename my .gif to .ico? Not sure if I followed you there.
3. In the button property, I set icon = yes and icon filename = c:\icons\search.gif -- Not sure if I used the right syntax for the filename. I've tried renaming it to .ico and it still does not display.
Sorry about all the questions but I really appreciate your help. Do you see anything else that I did that may cause it to not display?
Thanks again,
Eric

Where can I find Icon files (*.ico) for using in forms

Q) Where can I find Icon files (*.ico) for using in forms?
Explaination: I am looking for icons for showing them in my application. Like I have an iconic button for 'Data Entry' option on Vertical Toolbar. Then one icon for Reports and Queries and so on. I need some icons which reflect the heading like for 'Data Entry', I would like a person working on a keyboard. For reports I would like to have a person reading a report or something like that.
Can I find such icons on internet or any specific site?
Pl. guide.
TIA
Tariq

There are thousands and thousands of places on the internet to find .ICO files. Just find one with image and size you want, and use it.
Note that if you are using web-deployed Forms, you will need to convert the .ICO file to .GIF or .JPG for runtime. The Forms Builder still uses .ICO files, though.

Relative Path for Attach menu forms or icon file

How should i able to provide relative path while
attaching Forms,menu or icon files in the Form application.
So that it can be easily portable
Thanx in advance

You can use Regedit and do it manually. I am not sure but it seems to me that using Software Packager for deploying application can also change registry environment variables.

How can I create a custom button for opening a form?

I have a parent form having child forms. In my main form I want to create custom buttons for opening child forms. I want to use master-detail form but there are more than one child forms, and in master-detail form I can only create one detail form. So I will create a form based on a table and in that form I will call the child forms by custom buttons. Can I do that?
Thanx,
Gulsah.

This can be easily done. First open up two instances of your Portal. In one window, you will need to go into your component you wish to link FROM. In the other window you will need to go into your component you wish to link TO. In the component you wish to link TO there will be a moduleid. Note this somewhere. Then, you will see an area that says: "Call Interface: Show". Click on this. (In the window you are linking to.). In this window, you will see a bunch of stuff. At the bottom you will see a URL call. This is the call you need to use. At the top, it explains each piece of the URL call. Just subsitute YOUR appropriate information into the URL call. In the form you wish to link FROM, create a button. Once you create this button, it will appear at the bottom, click on it and you will see an area to insert a Javascript. Click the onClick and insert:
//this is the variable you want to pass from one form to the other
get_field_name = getField(this.form,'COLUMN_NAME_IN_DATABASE');
//this is so you can open the "child" form
window.open('/pls/cc_prod/DAD_NAME.wwa_app_module.link?p_arg_names=_moduleid&p_arg_values=MOD_ID_HERE&p_arg_names=_sessionid&p_arg_values=&p_arg_names=COLUMN_NAME_IN_DATABASE&p_arg values='+GETFIELD_NAME+'&p_arg_names=_COLUMN_NAME_IN_DATABASE_cond&p_arg_values=%3D');
In the fourth tab, where it says, "....before displaying form" insert the following: (This will tell the form how to handle the getField function.)
htp.p('<script language="JavaScript1.3">
< !--
function getField(form,fieldName)
var objName = "";
var tmp = "";
var dAction = "";
var sel_idx = 0;
var cnt = 0;
var instance = 0;
var slicedName;
var fillData = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i < form.length; i++)
slicedName = form.elements.name.split(".");
tmp = slicedName[2];
instance = parseInt(slicedName[3],10);
if (!tmp)
continue;
objName = tmp;
if (objName == fieldName)
return form.elements[i].value;
//-->
</script>');
I hope this helps.

Using a downloaded image as the icon style for a Button

Hello
I have a problem and after a lot of investigation I have reached to no conclusion.
When setting the icon to a Button, a Class of an image is needed. This can be done very simply by embeding an image. But what I would like to do is use an image known only at runtime.
More exactly I can not download an image from an external source, obtain it bitmapData or something else, convert it and assign it as the icon style for a Button.
So my problem is that for the Flex components that need an image, a Class needs to be assigned, and I can not use an external image to download it, to convert it in some way and assign it.
Does anybody have any sugestion? Is it possible?
My purpose is to make some utility that just downloads the images and after the downloading has been completed, to notify the "client" it should take the "created Class" to use it as a style.
Thank you in advance for your time,
Claude Bur.
