Hi, Vishal Agrawal
Icon size not more then square of 32. mens 32 by 32
icon path should be full path without extension or following type
C:\icon\save
or
icon\savecompile and test.
Hope this works..

Iconic buttons in oracle 9i

hi all
I'm using iconic buttons in oracle 9i. I can perfectly see icons in forms builder but they disappear when I run my web forms.
What shold I add or configure to display icons at runtime??
thank you.

Quoted by Francois
At design time you see the .ICO files and at run time the .GIF files.
So, you must have the 2 versions (ICO and GIF) of the images files.

Iconic Buttons in Oracle Apps 11i

Hi,
I need to create an iconic button in one of my form. We are using Forms6i and are on apps veriosn 11.5.10. I want to use the same image as used for the 'Help' button on standard Toolbar. Where is this image file located? I tried to search for the toolbar in TEMPLATE.fmb, but couldn't find it.
Any help in this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

hi
1 How to Display Iconic Images Using Forms 9.0.x/ 10.x?
When running an Oracle Forms 9i/10g application the icon files used must be in a web enabled
format such as JPG or GIF (GIF is the default format) (This is unlike older versions of forms running in client-server mode when the file format is .ico.)
Icon image files can either be retrieved by Forms as individual files on the filesystem or from a Java Archive (JAR file).
If an application uses lots of icon images it is recommended that they are stored in a JAR file to reduce the number of HTTP round trips.
Reference:Note 232413.1 How to Deploy Iconic Images via a JAR File in Forms 9i/10g?
The example below details steps to configure iconic images as individual gif or jpeg files.
It is a first approach recommended for initial testing and understanding.
Example:
========
This document has been written for use with both Windows and UNIX operating systems: Windows will use the "\" character to delimit directories and UNIX uses the "/" character. Any other differences are noted in the document.
1) Determine the physical location of the icons on your web server. For this example, assume that the icons are stored in D:\Myfiles\icons.
2) Create the virtual directory in the forms90.conf file that point to the location of your Forms 9i/10g icons. This file is located in:
$ORACLE_HOME\forms90\server\forms90.conf
To define a virtual directory forms90/icons, use the following syntax:
# Virtual path for ICONS (used to show icons in a form ) AliasMatch ^/forms90/icons/(..*) "D:\Myfiles/icons/$1"
Below is an example of the forms90.conf after it has been modified to include the /forms90/icons virtual directory.
# Virtual path mapping for Forms Java jar and class files (codebase) AliasMatch ^/forms90/java/(..*) "E:\IASR2\APP/forms90/java/$1" # Virtual path for JInitiator downloadable executable and download page AliasMatch ^/forms90/jinitiator/(..*) "E:\IASR2\APP/jinit/$1" # Virtual path for runform.htm (used to run a form for testing purposes) AliasMatch ^/forms90/html/(..*) "E:\IASR2\APP/tools/web90/html/$1"
# Virtual path for ICONS (used to show icons in a form ) AliasMatch ^/forms90/icons/(..*) "D:\Myfiles/icons/$1"
( For 10g use instead of "forms90" -> "forms")
3) Direct forms to use the /forms90/icons or /forms/icons virtual directory when running on the web by modifying the Registry.dat file in the $ORACLE_HOME\forms90\java\oracle\forms\registry or $ORACLE_HOME\forms\java\oracle\forms\registry
directory. Note that for UNIX, both the path name and file name are case sensitive. You must specify "Registry.dat".
Modify the default.icons.iconpath entry as follows: default.icons.iconpath=http:///forms90/icons/ or default.icons.iconpath=http:///forms/icons/
If the URL used to bring up forms on the web is: http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms90/f90servlet or http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms/frmservlet
Then the entry required for the Registry.dat will be: default.icons.iconpath=http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms90/icons or default.icons.iconpath=http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms/icons default.icons.iconextension=gif
4) Now use EM Website to: a) Restart the OC4J-BI-Forms Instance b) Restart the BI-FORMS HTTP Server Instance.
5) Verify that the virtual directory has been defined properly and that the icons can be viewed in a browser.
Assuming that exeqry.gif exists in the D:\Myfiles\icons directory, the following URL should show the icon:
http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms90/icons/exeqry.gif or http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms/icons/exeqry.gif
6) Check the form : http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms90/f90servlet?form=D:\Testcases\F90\ICON_CHECK_IASR2.fmx or http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms/frmservlet?form=D:\Testcases\F10g\ICON_CHECK_IASR2.fmx
CHECKLISTS
=============
Icons do not appear in the browser using the URL:
o Verify that you are using the correct machine name and port for the OC4J_BI_Forms object.
o Check the virtual directory name to make sure that there are no typographical errors. o Check for typographical errors in the forms90.conf or forms.
conf for the virtual directory. o Check the name of the icon on the file system. If the file is saved as Exeqry.gif, then it will not be found using the URL http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms90/ Close all your browser sessions and open a new browser window.
Execute the URL to bring up from the Form Builder runtime or from the browser.
( For 10G use "forms" instead of "forms90")USEFUL REFERENCES:==================

Iconic Buttons

Hello guys,
I need to create Iconic Buttons for Oracle Forms 6i. Now I have two issues :
1) Is there a way to add text to the ICONIC BUTTON ?
2) I have modified the path in the key UI60_ICON under the Windows Registry, but forms doesn't really care, it seems like it doesn't find it. For now I have writing the whole path in the property palette of the Button, but I guess there has to be a more efficient way.

I download the zipped file from
http://forms.pjc.bean.over-blog.com/categorie-450786.html
Download the lablediconbutton.zip file
Unzip the file
Edit your /forms/server/formsweb.cfg file
Open the lablediconbutton.fmb module (Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.0.2(Production))
Compile all and run the module
But the icons do not appear at all.
Help!

How to display the iconic buttons on the toolbar in oracle 10g forms

hi experts.
i have done all the settings to display the iconic tool bar in the web. the settings i have done are like this.
Initially i have created a .jar file with name my_icons.jar and pasted in /forms/java folder.
1) modified the I:\DevSuiteHome_1\j2ee\DevSuite\application-deployments\forms\formsweb\orion-web.xml file by adding
<virtual-directory virtual-path="/icons" real-path="I:\aptd\icons" />.
2) Modified the forms.conf file by adding the line
AliasMatch ^/forms/icons/(..*) "I:\aptd\icons/$1"
3) Modified the formsweb.config file by
archive_jini=archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jar, my_icons.jar
4) Registry.dat
default.icons.iconpath=icons/
default.icons.iconextension=gif
i did not get the output.
when i run the form through the browser, i could see throught the bottom of the browser that it is taking
http://host:port/forms/java/icons/*.gif
* for diffenent icons name.
but when i run the http://host:port/forms/java/my_icons.jar i could download it.
please suggest the best solution. Its Urgent.

thanks a lot sarah. I got it.
but sarah i woild like to know that my real path of the icons is in other drive. but pasting the icons in the oracle/forms/icons will work.
why can't the icons take from the the other drive. And also i have created a jar file. Then why can't it take from the jar file without pasting them in the above mentioned folder.
thanks once agaiin for all.

Where is default icons location in oracle form 10g

hi,
Can anybody please tell me, where is the default(given below) icons location in oracle form 10g. I want to user that icons in my form.
Image: !c:\icons.gif!
thanks
mohan

Hi,
Is your problem solved?
This issue occurs because gif images by default are not still images. These are graphical interchange images, i.e. images depicting some kind of action/motion.
If I am not wrong then just to test this out if you open the gif image you are looking at, in pbrush then image will appear in a corner. Now if you modify that image such that you copy only the icon in the corner and then save the copied icon in a new file in gif format then you will be able to see that image in the centre of button, rather over complete button.
Hope this helps!

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

NO image on iconic button in Forms Builder

Hello,
I'm using Oracle Forms [32 Bit] Version 9.0.4.0.19.
When I open any .fmb file I dont see any image on iconic buttons.
All my .gif files are in .jar
Is there any way to fix that?

The Builder cannot read jar files. Also, only gif, jpg, and ico files are supported for the 9.0.4 and newer Builder. In order to have the Builder find them, you need to set the following environment variables (usually in the Registry):
UI_ICON=<some path to the images>
UI_ICON_EXTENSION=<the file format extension - like gif>
Note that this only applies to seeing the images in the Builder Layout Editor and has nothing to do with a running form.
