Inset bevel on stacked canvas - is it possible?

Hello.
I want to create a stacked canvas with an inset bevel, but when I
run the form the
inset bevel is not shown. The only bevels that shows is lovered
and raised.
Does anyone know how to get an inset bevel to show, so that the
stacked canvas
apears as a scrolling region within a frame with inset bevel?

without repainting all canvas.if your not comfortable repainting the entire canvas, You can use the selective repaint function. it repaints only the area specified by you
repaint(int x, int y, int width, int height)
//Requests a repaint for the specified region(x,y) of the Canvas.ps: selective repainting is the VM's decision

New stacked canvas and action items

I have a form with tree module components into the same window: one new content canvas and two new stacked canvas.
The window has an action item. When I execute this form the action item is'nt visible because is placed under the stacked canvas. Is possible display the action item at the bottom of the window?

hi
try to adjust the View port width & height of stacked canvas properties back and forth.
ram Not sure this addresses my problem. The stacked canvas properties are fine. However, I want to be able to execute a SHOW_VIEW on my stacked canvas after a FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE has been raised. Obviously, I could place a button that did SHOW_VIEW when pressed but thats far from ideal. I want to be able to do it automatically without any need for the user to do anything.

Stacked canvas

Hi
I have a screen where part of the block is in a 'fixed' content canvas and part is in a stacked canvas which is scrollable. Initially, both canvases are displayed and I can scroll backwards and forwards in the stacked canvas. However, when I select one of the fields that is outside the stacked canvas the stacked canvas disappears. Is there anyway of pinning the stacked canvas so that it is visible all the time.
Thanks

Hi
What i understand when your naviagation is on contact canvas item then stack canvas disappear.
it is so simple just click on the border of stack canvas and drag the stack canvas away from the items of contant canvas. it may possible your stack canvas is over the any item of contant canvas

Tab Canvas on a STACKED Canvas?

Is it possible to have a tab canvas ON (IN) a stacked canvas? Or can a tab canvas ONLY be placed on a content canvas?
Thanks!

Hi,
Can you tell the requirement clearly, whether you need to create a tab canvas on stacked canvas, a tab canvas in stacked canvas.
1.Stack Canvas in Tab canvas
First you need to create a tab canvas in the content canvas then you need to create a stack canvas on the content canvas, then you need to align it properly.

I appreciate the overlap issue and mentioned it in my first response, and I expect that changing the size or positon of the item or canvas is the most appropriate solution. Without knowing the full requirements I left an incomplete response, thinking that a dialogue would get the problem fixed. I don't think it's right to suggest navigating to the canvas as the only solution, omitting other possible solutions. My first response could have been better though.
I never suggested that navigation to the canvas is The Only Solution I have always said and in many posts that: "+Beauty of Oracle is that you can reach the same result in 100s and 1000s of ways+" You can have 100s solutions for the same problem.
No one is omitting any other solutions, You mentioned the overlapping issue in your first post asking the OP if that was the case, I merely explained to the OP why that happens, assuming if the OP knew about the overlapping issue, he/she would have solved the problem, and my second post was in response on your comments.
It is not a must to navigate to an item that resides on the stacked canvas, but it's a good way to solve the overlapping issue in this case.

How: Stacked Canvas on Tab Canvas ?

Hi All,
I have content canvas in which I have placed tab canvas with 5 tabs, and on one of the tab I want to place stacked canvas because I have to display multiple blocks on this stacked canvas with vertical scroll bar (This I can specify by saying Vertical scroll bar as Yes for Stacked canvas).
There is a restriction that, it is not possible to place stacked canvas on tab canvas (Possible only on content canvas), so is there any other workaround.
Please let me know if anyone has worked on similar type of screen development. Appreciate if anyone can provide some sample code.
Advance thanks for your time and help.
Regards
CJ

Hi All,
I found the solution and successfully implemented the desired functionality
DECLARE
     v_Tab VARCHAR2(1000);
BEGIN
     v_Tab := GET_CANVAS_PROPERTY('CAN_TABS', TOPMOST_TAB_PAGE);
     IF v_Tab = 'a1' THEN
     GO_BLOCK('BLK1');
          EXECUTE_QUERY;
     ELSIF v_Tab = 'a2' THEN
          GO_BLOCK('BLK2');
          EXECUTE_QUERY;
     ELSIF v_Tab = 'a3' THEN
*          Set_View_Property('CAN_STK_FIS_NET',HEIGHT,280);*
*          Set_View_Property('CAN_STK_FIS_NET',WIDTH,630);*
*          Set_View_Property('CAN_STK_FIS_NET',DISPLAY_POSITION,6,135);*
*          SHOW_VIEW('CAN_STK_FIS_NET');     *
          GO_BLOCK('BLK_FIS1_GRID');
          EXECUTE_QUERY;
END IF;
END ;
I have seperately created stacked canvas 'CAN_STK_FIS_NET' and placed multiple blocks as per requirement and able to achieve the functionality.
Please let me know if any one need any detail explanation.

Display employees details in the stacked canvas from the content canvas

Hi all,
       I want to display employees details in the stacked canvas from the content canvas,where i passed the empno & click on the find button , i have 2 blocks(emp,control), in control block only find button there, I have only one table i.e;emp
BEGIN
    GO_BLOCK('EMP');
    Set_block_property('EMP', default_where, 'Empno = :EMP.EMPNO');
     Show_view('EMP_DET_CAN');
    execute_query;
END;
Thank You

Hi Andreas Wieden,
Andreas Weiden wrote:
When you query on the EMP-block, yiou cannot include a WHERE-condition to that block as the block is cleared when the EXECUTE_QUERY starts. If you want to have a different find-block where you enter your search-condition, you have to include that item in your separate find-block. Otherwise use the standard-search-mechanism with ENTER_QUERY and EXECUTE_QUERY.
You are right, so where clause is not possible in the same block, right?.I have to take empno column where it is a search column into the control block right?
Please suggest me i want to retrieve records into the stacked canvas when i pass the empno & click on the find button in the content canvas? Is this not possible? If possible please let me know? I mean i want to take the search column in the EMP Block & find button in the control block..
Thank You

Question about stacked canvas disappearing

Hi,
I have a block which has some database items and non-database items. Since
there are many items in the block, I use a stacked canvas with horizontal bar
to display the less important items.
In the trigger of new-block-instance, show_view('stacked_canvas')
But I face one problem. When I click on a non-database item and then move
the cursor away from the item, the stacked canvas suddenly disappears.
Any idea ?
Many thanks in advance

Imagine each canvas as a piece of paper stacked on a desk. Each piece of paper possibly has a different size and the top left corner of each piece is possible oriented in a different spot. When you say show_view('stacked_canvas') its like reaching to the bottom of the pile and putting that canvas top. When you click on an item not on the stacked canvas that items canvas is placed on top. Your problem is that your non-database item content canvas is covering up the stacked canvas. I think...
Your issue could be solved by simply rearranging the canvas order by putting the stacked canvas last (I think) in the object navigator.
Raise on Entry could also be causing your issue. Go to the help. Click the search tab. Type "raise on entry". Read "Working with the Raise on Entry Canvas Property". There is a good explanation in there on how stacked canvases get covered up by content canvases and when.

Tab-Canvas and Stacked-Canvas (Forms 5.0)

Is it possible to design a tab canvas that contains stacked-canvas? I can't create it!

Yes - it is possible to design a tab canvas that contains stacked-canvas. Create a separate canvas with its own block and you can call go_block and the canvas/block will show. You can also call show_view but the canvas you call must be of the type stacked. (aside - a tab canvas seems to automatically act like a stacked canvas). I have used a canvas w/block that sits at the top of the screen by setting it to be only 60 points tall (and it is the first block in the list) then in a when-new-form-instance trigger I call show_view('tab canvas name') and have its viewport begin at 60, therefore the tab canvas fits right under the header canvas. You can then leave this to call other canvases/blocks and return and set up the same situation again. Sometimes I have gotten strange results where no matter what I do it will not show the tab canvas - at this point usually you recreate what won't show and it will then work.
good luck.

Stacked canvas on tabbed

Hi ,
I want to put up a stacked canvas on to a tabbed one. Read somewhere its not possible ... but the way around would be to make the content canvas tabbed. how does one do that?
Thanks

Putting a stacked canvas on a tabbed one is possible, making a content canvas tabbed is not.
The idea is that you show or hide the stacked canvases depending on what tab is showing, or if you want a stacked canvas to be visible on all tabs then just create it in the canvas editor window, as a stacked canvas on the main content canvas, and set the x/y coordinates so that it displays in the same location as the tab canvas.

Stacked canvas as a tab element

I am working on a form say 'A'. In this form, I have a tabbed canvas 'B' with 4 tabs.
I created another stacked canvas 'C' on which there are elements from 3 different blocks. Now I need to make this stacked canvas as an element of tab2 in canvas 'B'. I.e., if the user clicks on the tab2 of canvasB, it should show the stacked canvas C below the tab.
How can I do this?
Thanks,
Chiru

It is not possible to define stacked canvas for a tab canvas.
To avoid such circumstances,
in pre-form, you write
HIDE_VIEW('STACKED_CANVAS');
SHOW_VIEW('TAB_CANVAS');
If tab canvas is not showing up, set the fol. property
raise on entry : yes
viewport x and y position to 0
and try runing ,
if the tab canvas is showing up, gradually return to the required position
else check for any hide_view(tab_canvas) code in your form.
or you can reduce the height of content canvas to view tab canvas. Check the window name of content and tab canvas is same.
And in when tab page changed, you write for each tab page name
IF :SYSTEM.TAB_NEW_PAGE='PAGE2' THEN
go_item('some item in tab page 2');
SHOW_VIEW('STACKED_CANVAS');
ELSIF :SYSTEM.TAB_NEW_PAGE='PAGE1'
go_item('some item in tab page 1');
HIDE_VIEW('STACKED_CANVAS');
END IF;
Why that go-item is required?
Suppose your cursor is in an item in the stacked canvas, and if you click on page 1, The stack canvas wont disappear.

Stack canvas on a tab page

Hi ,
Can we display a stack canvas on a tab page.
If yes pls explain how???
Any help will be appreciated..
Thanks & Regards
Indu

Yes it is possible, but it needs some work.
You need to create the stacked on the content and set the viewport X Position & viewport Y Position coordinates to display it on the tab canvas.
