Invisible Text item cursor in forms 4.5... How to resolve?

In certain Text items in forms 4.5, the txt cursor is not displayed. The propertys are the same that other text items, the display propertys are:
-Font : MS SanSerif
-Size : 8
-type : plain
-weight : DemiLight
Foreground : Black
Background : White
What i need to do to make this cursor visible?

Try making the fields a bit taller - I seem to remember that there was a bug on this way back in 4.5 so it may be that you're hitting.

How to make list item as text item in oracle forms 6i

Hello all,
I created one form with one list item named "Country".. This list item shows country name for the particular employee in the employee table.I created this list item as database field. In the enter query mode i search an employee , This should act as item text.. Suppose i want to add an employee in enter query mode then i fill all the necessary fields,and
when i click "country" list item it should display all the country names from "country_tab" table..So based on the situation
this should act as list item and item text.. Can i Do this ?.. Pls help me.

hai Andreas Weiden,
I simply explain my requirement:
I want to insert data and quering data by using single form...So, I created one form with data block. This form created from employee table.I have one text item in this form named country.This is database item.
Ok ,Now the actual problem comes.I press "Enter query" in tools menu,Then enter one employee number in employee_no field.after i press
Execute query In tools menu. It shows all the details corresponding to that employee..
Note: here "country" text item also shows employees country.
Right, Now i have another requirement. In the same form I want to insert a new employee. For that
I planed to changes country text to list item [ because when insert i can easily pick up one country .it
reduces typing work ] . I have another table "COUNTRY". Using this table, i should populate country list item..
So, the country item should act as both text item [When quering] as well as list item [ When inserting ]
Is there any idea ti do this ?
If this not possible then what is the alternative ?
Pls suggest me..

Problem in copying a text item content in forms 10.1.2 to other application

Hi all,
I have just upgraded my Form server 6i in Windows 2003 to to Application server 10.1.2 in Linux.
In previos version Application Users Used to Copy some texts from other Applications like Windows NotePad or Client/server Version of Application to webforms text items or vice versa.
In Application 10g it doesnt work. whithin the webforms we can copy and past content of texts but within Applications It doesnt wirk at all.
we are running Forms 10.1.2 on Windows XP, using windows IE as the browser.
Does Forms 10.1.2 use its Own clipboard?
does anybody know any workaround to solve the problem?
thank you in advance.
Alireza

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your attention,
I Think it's not the certification mater, because in development environment I have Stand alone OC4j installed in Windows Xp witch uses the same version of Jinitiator and copy/paste functionality works fine.
Surprisingly when I connect to application server 10.1.2 witch is installed in Enterprise Linux from the same PC the functionality does not work.
I cheked windows clipbord before and after running the form application from and noticed that copy/paste mechanism of form doesnt effect windows clipbord ant it somehow uses a private clipboard within itself.
Any solution would highly be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Alireza.

Buttons and text items on oracle forms 6i

can i create dynamic buttons and text fields on oracle forms 6i.
i mean when i insert record in database then automatically creat a button on form.
Regards
Munawer hussain

Hi,
One physical button is enough for a series of "functional buttons" per amount of simultanious visisble buttons. You can change the button prompt at run-time depending on a certain condition. That same condition can also be used when executing the when-button-pressed (wbp) trigger.
Example:
suppose you have 2 functions that you want to create buttons for: enter query and execute query. Only 1 button is visible at one time. In design time you create 1 button. In run-time, depending on :system.mode you set the button prompt to "enter query"or "execute query" and in the wbp trigger you write
begin
if :system.mode = 'QUERY'
then
execute_query;
else
enter_query;
end if;
end;
Kind regards

How can change the Prompt of a text item in a form?

Dear Friends...
I want to change the label/Prompt of a form ( Miscellaneous Receipt) in Inventory Module. Ie Current lable/Prompt is REFERENCE, i want to change it into BOE. Pls advice me ........
Regards
Mary

To make the change permanent you need to use the same Folders submenu and select either Save ... or Save As.... I would recommend the latter and give the folder your own custom name as this then differentiates any changes from the seeded folders / other locations who might also be using this folder etc.
Thereafter, either your users will have to select the folder or (better) you can use the Administer Folders option in SysAdmin to default the folder to a particular responsibility or responsibilities.

Display Hint Text in Oracle Forms 6i at Text Item

Dear all seniors
I want to show Hint text at Text Item in Oracle Forms 6i.
when my cursor Focus goes at that item. I mean when I go with Tab key or Enter button then it show display text.
even though my mouse is not on that item.
please how it would be possible
thanks.
G.Y

Please create a display_item(for eg. Disp_Mess) just below the text field (For eg:-MyField) where you want to show hint. And then assighn Hint text to "DISP_MESS" in NEW-FORM-INSTANCE or at Initial value. Then create a PRE-TEXT-ITEM and POST-TEXT-ITEM trigger for MyField.
-- PRE-TEXT-ITEM trigger write following code.
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('DISP_MESS',VISIBLE,PROPERTY_TRUE);
--POST-TEXT-ITEM write following code.
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('DISP_MESS',VISIBLE,PROPERTY_FALSE);
It will work for you.

How to control the cursor position on a text item..

How can we control the cursor position programmatically on a text item.
i.e. how do we move the cursor to home or end of the text item.

How to call another form ,if option is entered in a text item object ???

hi ,
I am created an application ,where in i press a button which call another form having a menu .
I select any one of the option from the menu ....i enter a number in the text item object of this form ....depending upon what option i have typed .....i would like to call another form ...
My questions are
1) Which trigger of this text item should be enabled,and what code to i write in this trigger ?
2) Since this form is not having any database insert,delete ,update or query (select)
it should directly go to the new form,whose option i provide in the text item .
Sunny

hey bro, i am assuming that ur text item contains the form name, any relevant trigger can be used for user action, like key-enter, post-change or key-next-item.
to run a form u can use functions call_form or open_form with proper paramters.
if u want to forward the entered text in the item, use global variable for the session.
it doesnt matter if the form contains database items or blocks, all u have to do is run the form.
e.g,
declare
VAR VARCHAR2-------;
begin
/* u can use the variable to concatinate or modify too, also can use global variable
var:=:urblock.uritem;
/* use ur own relevant parameters */
open_form(VAR,ACTIVATE,NO_SESSION);
exception
when---------
end;

Go-item in post-text-item oracle forms 6i

It is not possible to use go_item in post-text-item trigger in forms 6i
How to overcome this?

I've never tried to force the user to do that.
But Kevin's second solution would do it:
Set a packaged variable and put the code in a form-level WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCECreate a package specification in the form -- I always name such a package P0.
In the package, create a variable: Next_Itm varchar2(60);In your post-text-item trigger, set the package value:    P0.Next_Itm := 'BLOCK_B2.ITEM_6';In the form-level when-new-item-instance trigger:
If P0.Next_Itm is not null then
    Go_Item(P0.Next_Itm);
    P0.Next_Itm := null;
End if;

Form text item initial value not taking effect

Hello,
Sorry for the simple question, but I'm at a loss.
I'm trying to present a system date on my form using $$DATE$$ as the initial value of a text item. The form will not display it. Am I running up against a bug, or is there a block setting that might be getting in the way? Possibly an OAS issue? The item is in a control block, and the form is insanely simple. It makes use of menu as well.
Any help is appreciated,
Jim

I tried setting the initial value to $$DATE$$ in a control block item in Forms 10g (9.0.4), and it worked fine. I think the online help is referring to creating a record in a block (not the database), which happens in a control block as well as a base table block.
Not sure what version of Forms you are using, but in the unlikely chance that you're still on 6.0, there are some bugs (1046279, 2970983) filed on 6.0 about the initial value not displaying when the text item is subclassed from an object library. If that's what you're experiencing, you should be able to fix it by upgrading to 6i.

Text item of varchar2(2000) with vertical scrollbar not displaying properly

Hi,
I have a text item of varchar2(2000) with a vertical scroll bar.
I am populating data into the text item using a forms procedure.
(Look at the sample code below)
The problem is the rpadding is NOT displayed properly. I mean
the detail records are NOT shown straight below their respective column heading
in the text item. (BUT if I cut this stuff from the text item and paste it in a
notepad, then the alignment is correct and the data is shown below their
respective column headings)
My code is something like below ...
CURSOR c_get_lab_client_results
IS
SELECT res.lr_id lr_id, org.short_name org_name, TO_CHAR(res.specimen_taken_date,'DD-MON-YYYY') std, substr(res.accession_number,1,20) acc_num, res.lr_type lrtype, res.hdc_id hdcid
FROM bc_organisations org,
cq_laboratory_results res
WHERE cli_id = :clients.cli_id
AND lr_id = :results.lr_id
AND res.org_id = org.org_id
ORDER BY lr_id;
Begin
-- Header
SELECT :TRFRDTLS.TRANSFER_DETAILS||RPAD('ORGANISATION',16,' ')||' '||RPAD('SPECIMEN DATE',15,' ')||' '||RPAD('ACCESSION NUMBER',20)||' '||RPAD('RESULTS',16,' ')||chr(10)||chr(10)
INTO :TRFRDTLS.TRANSFER_DETAILS FROM DUAL;
-- Detail
FOR c1 IN c_get_lab_client_results LOOP
ls_results := RPAD('XXXX',16,' '); -- Just for example
SELECT :TRFRDTLS.TRANSFER_DETAILS||RPAD(TO_CHAR(c1.org_name),16,' ')||' '||RPAD(c1.std,15,' ')||' '||RPAD(c1.acc_num,20)||' '||ls_results||chr(10)
INTO :TRFRDTLS.TRANSFER_DETAILS FROM DUAL;
END LOOP;
End;
Thanks in advance.
Cheers

Try using a monospace font such as Courier New for the text item.
