Image on the form for splash screen

Hi there,
How can I replace an existing image with a new one on my splash screen. Here's what I mean by this:
I have a form which already has a splash screen logo. This logo will be replaced with a new one. The existing logo is attached as an image in the form of a .tiff file. There are no triggers on the form excepting a "when new form instance" which just says "SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY(FORMS_MDI_WINDOW,TITLE,'ABC').
How can I ensure that the old logo is replaced with a new one.
Here's what I did to replace, i.e my trouble shooting steps:
a)opened the form and deleted the existing splash screen/.tif file
b)went into the layout editor and clicked on "EDIT-> IMPORT" and mapped it to the .tif file that's persent in the local directory. As soon as I click OK, I get the following message :
FORMS-VGS-507- Cannot open file or file not in specified format.
Could any one help me out with this problem or can any one give me a better solution.
Thanks in advance

Are you talking about changing the splash screen when the Oracle Jinitiator loads? If so, this is controlled by the "base.htm" file in the /%FORMS_HOME%/forms/server directory (Windows and UNIX). If so, check out the [Oracle® Application Server Forms Services Deployment Guide|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25016_04/doc/dl/web/B14032_03/toc.htm], section [4.3.4.4 Applet or Object Parameters | http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25016_04/doc/dl/web/B14032_03/configure003.htm#i1077074]. These links are for Forms 11g and 10g. If you are using an older, go to the [Oracle Forms Developer and Forms Services Documenation | http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/forms.html] to choose the right version and then select the Forms Services Deployment Guide. The "*splashScreen*" parameter in the base.htm file controls which image file is displayed as the splashscreen.
If this is not the splash screen image you are talking about, please provide more information about your situation so we can better help you.
Hope this helps.

Insufficient space on the form for the pasted content

I am getting an error when i am dragging the table to the form
"insufficient space on the form for the pasted content"
how to rectify ?

Hi Tarang,
When you drag and drop data source to the form, it automatically sets the length equal to the field's data length.
So you need to resize it to fit in the screen.
for example:
if you have a long text object in data source.
when you drag and drop it gets both the coulmns TDLINE & other.
but you only need to display the TDLINE so delete the other coulmn of this field in the form.
thats how we resize tables. this is quite offen in nested tables.
hope this helps,
Cheers,
Sai

How to keep the field value in the forms for one week

I have an application that when the user logs on to it , it shows all the documents that are in the current dept.
the form has the following fields:
document no
sent date
assigned to
dep_LOV
and a check box
if a user clicks the check box and assignes the document to another dept by cliking the LOv then the assigned to field should be populated with the new value and the sent date should be today's date(sysdate). the requirment is that once the user assignes the documnet to certain depts (for example sales dept) the assigned to field and the sent date should show up in the form for one week and the user should be able to see that data in the form the next time she /he logs onto the application. the one week time is to make sure the documcnt has reached the assigned dept. after one week from today's date the updated assigned_to field and the document no should not display on the form. During the one week if the user logs on to the form again that particular document and the assigned to and sent to fields shoould be grayed out and shhould not be updatable. I will greatly appreciate any suggetion as of what to do to solve this problem. it is urgent. Pleade help

-> so you are saying that I should have a block level post_query trigger and put the where clause in it?
No. Post-query trigger runs AFTER the query has been executed, and it runs once for each row fetched. It is for other purposes, NOT for setting a where clause.
-> Plus i want to be able to gray out the field once populated with the sales dept.I have come up with the following code:
Your Set_item_instance_property is almost correct. And THAT line would go into the Post-Query trigger. This is what you might use:
<pre> Set_item_instance_property ('docs.assigned_to',:system.trigger_record, Enabled,Property_False);</pre>
Please watch your use of underscore, dashes, commas and parentheses: _ - , ( )
The way to set your default where clause would be the following, and you should do it in the key-exeqry trigger, or someplace similar:
<pre> set_block_property('DOCS', default_where,
'NVL(sent_date,sysdate) >= sysdate-7' );
Go_block('DOCS');
Execute_Query;</pre>
I used the NVL function so your select will show rows where sent_date is null OR sent_date has a value that is within 7 days prior to the current date.
What is the field :docs.assigned_to used for? If you want to include ONLY rows that are assigned to a particular person, then your where clause might be:
<pre> 'assigned_to = :ctrl.assigned_to and NVL(sent_date,sysdate) >= sysdate-7' </pre>
and you should have a control block with the assigned_to field in it, where the user can enter a value before querying the DOCS block.

Show image on the form Java WS gets image. Call this WS on button click

Hi,
Is there a way to show an image on the form. On the form I have along with the data I have a button that when clicked get and show the image itself on the form. I have a Java WebService that gets the image from the remote location. How can I make the button click event to call this Web Service and show the image on the form itself. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

WHiteSox, are you on client/server or web version.
which version of forms are you using.
something i can think of is.
during the click to call the webservice, copy the image to the local system.
next step is, using READ_IMAGE_FILE built in which reads the image from the local file system and displayed on the forms image item.

Dynamic pdf up to 200 images, the size of pdf is larger, cannot save data and images to the form

Hi all,
My client would like to dynamic images up to 200 pictures to my forms. It is working fine. However, when I add images up to 35 images. I could not add images to the form any more. Then, I save data on the form. All images and data typed on the form are disappeared. I don't know reason.
If I only add 10 images - I can save data and images on the form. The size of pdf is 15456 kb. I was unable to add more pictures or data on the form.
Maybe there are problem the size of pdf? How much size can an dynamic pdf limited?
Can we save the information and images as much as we want?
I have spent 2 weeks to work and try to figure out this problem. However it is not successful.
Please help,
Cindy

You should ensure, that your users do not import big images.
Therefore you can use a script on the change event of an image field which checks the data size and warns the user if the file is too big.
function formatNumber(number) {
    var num = number + '',
    x = num.split('.'),
    x1 = x[0],
    x2 = x.length > 1 ? '.' + x[1] : '',
    rgx = /(\d+)(\d{3})/;
    while (rgx.test(x1)) {
        x1 = x1.replace(rgx, '$1' + ',' + '$2');
    return x1 + x2 + "KB";
var sizeLimit = 200, //allow upto 200KB images
thisSize = Math.round((this.value.oneOfChild.value.length * 3 / 4) / 1024);
if (sizeLimit > 0) {
if (thisSize > sizeLimit) {
xfa.host.messageBox("Note: With " + formatNumber(thisSize) + " the size of the imported image is greater that the recommended maximum of " + formatNumber(sizeLimit) + ".\nLarge images can cause a insufficent performance.\n\nIf possible, use images with the following recommended specs:\nFormat:\t\tPNG or JPG\nColor depth:\t8 Bit (higher is not supported)\nColor space:\tRGB (CMYK is not supported)\nFile Size:\t\t" + formatNumber(sizeLimit), "Recommended image size exceeded", 3, 0);

Synchronizing sound and image for splash screen.

Hello all,
I have a peculiar request. ...
I have a sound file (about 137KB) and an animated gif (about 134KB).
I would like to use this as my splash window before my app starts up.
I know how to load these 2 to a screen but my problem is how do I synchronize the sound to go along with the image when it starts up? (Its a gunshot sound, whcih is looped with the animated image showing the bullet holes ;-)
I've been investigating using the Timer class but no success to date.
Currently, the sound file loads up, starts and then a few seconds later the image..
So.... How do I:
1. Load the sound first.
2. Load the image.
3. Start both of them synchronized.

This is actually pretty involved...
Are you using java.applet.AudioClip to play the sound? Are you loading the animated gif as a JLabel or something using ImageIcon?
If you are using AudioClip for the audio, I suggest that you cache the sound and image before playing the sound... otherwise you'll probably hear pops or the sound will pause. To cache the sound, do this:
AudioClip clip = Applet.newAudioClip("somefile");
Unfortunately, java really sucks at handling animated gifs. On slower computers, I've seen it take about 15-20 seconds to load an animated gif that's around 90k in size... totally unacceptable! If you have a gif that just plays a once (or a few times) and then stops, you'll have to flush the graphic to restart the image. This will reload the file and cause the long delay every time you need to replay the gif.
It seems like the best thing to do is to break up the animated gif into frames (either put each frame in its own file, or place each frame into one large image file and use clip rectangles to retrieve frames) and handle the animation yourself with your own thread. Alternatively, you can use the GifDecoder utility available at http://www.fmsware.com/stuff/gif.html, but be careful when using GifDecoder, it eats up a lot of memory for larger Gif files. When you handle the animation yourself, things should work properly. Again, make sure to cache the images by doing something like:
ImageIcon ii = new ImageIcon("somefile");
Once everything is preloaded, things should be pretty much synchronized if you play the sound and then show the image.
To have more control, you may have to use an object with synchronized methods... like if you want a sound to play on the 3rd and 10th frame of animation. Another option is to use Quicktime for Java.
If you need more info, let me know!

CS6 apps: A suggestion for splash screens

Hi. First of all, I couldn't find a more appropiate forum so please feel free to remove or relocate the post if it doesn't go here.
I think that it would be nice to have the splash screens of the next generation of adobe applications pay homage to the great artists that serve as inspiration for us everyday.
I've prepared 3 rough images just as an example. In every case, the letters that represent the program are the initials of the artist that it honours.
Thanks for the space to post this.

Nice idea, but personally I'd have to vote no.
I can't stand splash screens.
I already bought the program and I know what it is...so I definitely don't need to see an 'ad' everytime it launches.
But that's just me.....

How do I change/customize the Photoshop CC splash screen?

I've looked everywhere, but no correct answer has been found. Please help!
I DO NOT want to deface the splash screen, but just add our company logo.
I was able to edit the Illistrator CC just fine.

The only splash screen that i was able to edit was the Illustrator one, because the raw files were in the Windows folder. I have also tried looking in the PSArt.dll for the encrypted versions, but without any luck.
The updater process shouldn't remove the custom ones, because I just replaced the new ones with the same file names.
Please Help!
