LOV button in query mode

Why is an LOV button not shown when the block is in enter-query mode, but there is still an LOV available (using F9 button)?

This has already been filed as a Forms bug, no. 2179613 'EXTEND APP.UI.LOVBUTTONS TO ALLOW DISPLAY OF LOV IN ENTER-QUERY MODE'.
"Currently the facility to display LOV buttons automatically - the setting app.ui.lovButtons=true in the registry.dat file only works in data entry mode. It would be useful to be able to display the generated button in Enter query mode as well."
The priority is "Minor Error, No Loss of Service", so I doubt if this will be fixed soon.

[Solved] Problem with LOV and 'enter query' mode

Hi all,
I'm kind of new to Forms and I'm having some problems that I'm not being able to resolve. I already search it on the net, but nothing relevant came up. If anyone could help me I appreciated it.
In my form I have some fields, and in one of them I have a LOV, and almost everything works fine. I inserted data, changed it, deleted it and all it's ok.
But when I change to 'enter query' mode, when I try to search for data on the LOV field it ignores what I write.
That is, for it, it's the same if I make F11 -> write 'aaaa' -> ctrl + F11 or if I make F11 -> '%' -> ctrl + F11.
It behaves the same way, shows me all the records.
Probably I'm missing something basic, but I'm not getting it...
Thanks,
Ana

when you create a lov by wizard the lov and record group have always the same name..
the problem is that the item is NOT based in the tabe.
what kind of query do you execute if you choose something from a love which is not based on the db?
i mean, this item has no influence on the query of the table, so whatever you choose it's like a "select * from table"
i hope i was clear

How to display LOV on web in ENTER-QUERY mode with form or block query only.

Hello all
How can I display lov automatic on the web in from enter-query
mode in form or block query only mode.
thankx

If I understand correctly your explanation, your called form
fails to activate the LOV in enter-query mode when it is deployed
and test on the browser.
So lets proceeed like this, to make it work in all environments,
let us programetically activate the LOV.
HOW?
In the called form, write in the WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE TRIGGER
at block level (if have more than one LOV)
IF :SYSTEM.MODE = 'ENTER-QUERY' THEN
IF get_item_property(:system.cursor_item,lov_name) IN ('YOUR
LOV1', 'LOV2' etc) THEN
IF SHOW_LOV(get_item_property(:system.cursor_item,lov_name))
THEN
NULL;
END IF;
END IF;
END IF;
The above code maybe tweak to suite your need and condition.
This way, we explicitly make the LOV appear in ENTER-QUERY mode
whenever the user clicks on an item with an attached LOV.
Hope this helps.

Dynamic LOV buttons in Forms

Hello:
The dynamic LOV button (app.ui.lovButtons=true) in Registry.dat setup is showing the LOV button in NORMAT Mode ONLY.
This does NOT get displayed when the form is in QUERY mode. Is there a way to display the LOV buttons irrespective of Query/Normal Mode?
Thanks
Bala

Anyone faced this issue before?

LOV button in enter query mode

Hi
How do I show LOV button(Forms 9.0.2) in enter query mode?As of now LOV button is displayed only in the create mode.
Binod.

Hi Andrew,
Thanx for the reply. Actually I have not associated any trigger for this. Here Im refering the LOV button which comes inside the respective field(I mean we change the property lov_button to 'true in the regitry.dat). This button is not getting displayed in the enter query mode.
I hope now you are clear with the query.

LOV icon missing in query mode

Hi,
I'm using a LOV in query mode. But in Query mode the button with the 3 dots is missing. I can only enter the LOV by pressing CTRL+L. To improve the easy of use, I want to show the button in the text field (with LOV) as well. How can I realize this?
Regards,
Sten

I've changed the registry.dat file which I found on the middle tier in the folder
/u01/applmgr/rooscomn/java/oracle/forms/registry/
but without the desired result. When I switch in a form to query mode, there is still no button in the textfield (3 dots).
Thanks in advance!

Disabling LOVs when not in enter query mode

hello. I currently have a form in which a master block populates a detail block. when the master is populated the cursor automatically goes to the detail block and sets it to enter query mode (due to the face that there are multiple details but the user may only view one at a time). To select the appropriate detail the user may select the detail from a LOV which is activated by clicking a button. once the detail has been selected and the query executed there is no real need for the LOV as the user can now edit/delete the detail. Also when adding a new detail there would be no need for the LOV as the presence of it would only confuse users. So basically the only time the LOV is usefull is during query mode to query the detail the user wants to edit/delete.
In your experiance how would you acheive this result?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

well you can write a trigger Key-listval on your LOV item to check the mode of the block
if :system.mode = 'ENTER-QUERY' then
list_values;
end if;LOV will only display in enter query mode only

Starting form in Enter-Query mode disables some buttons on Smartbar

Whenn I run a form (on the Web) which starts in Enter-Query mode, the buttons "Execute Query" and "Enter Query" are disabled on the Smartbar. Also the corresponding menu options are disabled. Besides, it is psossible to use the appropiate keys (in my case: F7 and F8).

Hi,
Solutions given by Kevin and Zaibiman is not applicable for my form as the radio button will be in data base block only.This is the requirement of the form.
The other solution given by Zaibiman was to set the radio button item when entered in query mode , i have tried that but that is also not working.
Pranati,the solution given by you i have also tried that ,but that has not solved the issue,Radio button get unchecked when eneterd in query mode.
Please elaborate and suggest.

LOV in Query mode

Hi,
I have a form which when the user enters query mode, the user should be able to access the LOV attached to the 3 fields that are on the header level. On selection the values should be populated in the fields. The 3 fields are in a query only block.
If I use Show lov, and i make a selection, i get an error message saying that you cannot insert records.
Any thoughts ?
Preeti

hai,
Its not possible.
Because the date control is actually a seperate block, and in Query mode, we cannot more to a separate block.

LOV in query mode (calendar)

Hello,
i know it's possible to enter in query mode and then select a value for quwey from a LOV.
but in case of a Calendar (date_lov.get_date(...) ) i got that 'Undefined control key... press Ctrl+K for a list of all keys'. something like this
why the LOV does not appear in this case? get_date is a procedure, contained in DATE_LOV package
so what i want is to enter in query mode and then call the calendar to choose a date as search criteria
Thanks
