Javabean for colorpicker to select color for form item

Question

1- copy the colorpicker.jar in your /forms/java directory
2 - update the archive and archive_jini tags of your /forms/server/formsweb.cfg file:
archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jar,colorpicker.jar
archive=frmall.jar,colorpicker.jar
3 - in your form, add a Bean Area in a block - bean name = 'bean'
4 - initialize the bean in a When-New-Form-Instance trigger:
FBean.Register_Bean('block.bean',1,'oracle.forms.demos.beans.ColorPicker');
5 - pick the color anywhere you want:
PROCEDURE PickColor(pvcTarget in VARCHAR2) IS
vcColor VARCHAR2(11 char);
BEGIN
-- now display the picker with that color as an initial value
vcColor := FBean.Invoke_char('block.bean',1,'showColorPicker','Select color','');
END;
I will follow these steps and colorpicker is shown but i want to select the color for form item such as text item , canvas etc.
I want when i select the color from colorpicker that color is assign to that item. such as changing the background color and foreground color of text item.
I need help about this.

Hello,
Once you get the color, you can apply it to the item with the Set_Item_Property() built-in (see the online doc).
