MAXIMIZE WINDOW DOES NOT WORK IN FORMS 9i

Hi,
I am performing forms conversion and developing new forms in Forms 9i. The problem I am running into is that :
the SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY(FORMS_MDI_WINDOW, WINDOW_STATE, MAXIMIZE)
and SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY(ROOT_WINDOW, WINDOW_STATE, MAXIMIZE)
in the When_new_form_instance trigger don't work.
I've also tried adding a parameter to initiate the running mode as WEB as suggested in a response that I saw on this
forum, with that parameter I would set the ROOT_WINDOW State to NORMAL
then set WIDHT=800, HEIGHT=600, POSITION=0, 24.........
but it still does not work. When I run the form, the browser opens up as a full screen, but the form only fills up the gray rectangular
area when the Jiniator is running and loading the applet.
If I don't set the Maximize property of the main window to Yes then the vertical and horizontal scroll bars are automatically added,
if I do set so then no scroll bar is added and the form is cut off.
Is it a known problem ? and is there a solution to it?
Any response is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
TLe

Thanks, it worked, and I've been playing with other parameters, such as replacing the lookandfeel (this works), but splashscreen and background don't when I specified the .GIF file name, it did not display the GIF image.
Thanks again.

Popups: Navigation from view to window does not work

Hi,
I open a second window as popup. This window has 2 views embedded, displaying view1 first. On some actions I would like to navigate to view2.
Defining an outbound plug on view1 and an inbound plug on view2, connecting them and firing the outbound withith the onaction works absolutely fine.
However, for some reasons I would like to avoid a direct navigation, but would like to navigate from view1 to the popupo window and from there to view2 (or maybe another view, ofcourse also embedded in the same popup window). Unfortunately I fail on this scenario - I can fire the view-to-window plug, but the destination on the window side (handle in method) is never reached.
Since the same concept works fine on non-popup windows I wonder whether a navigation from view to embedded window does not work for popups?
Any idea?

Hi Yashpal,
no, just one window.
The first link is view1 -> window, the second window -> view2.
I.e., I fire in the view the outbound plug, which is connected with its window.
In the window I fire an outbound plug, which is connected to view2.
In theory this should work - for non-popup windows I do not have any problem at all, however, for popup windows the navigation from view1 to the window is not processed.
In the meantime I played a little bit further: Instead of firing a navigation from view1, I now fire an event defined in the component contoller, on which an event method is registered within the window. Doing so, I reach the window, which I didn't reach via the navigation link. Once in the window, firing to view2 works just fine ...
Hope the issue is a bit clearer now. Also I found a solution, I am surprised that the simpler way via navigation does not work.

Ctrl+Z does not work in Forms 11g on Windows (undo function)

In Oracle Forms 11g on Windows, the undo function, ctrl+Z does not work as it did in Forms 6i.
The ctrl+C and ctrl+V (copy/paste) work fine.
I looked into the Forms key mapping resource file and no solution there.
Thanks

I'm not sure what functionality you believe you had previously, but UNDO does not have any automatic functionality built-in. This is clearly explained in the Builder Online Help. Here is some of that text. Notice carefully what it says about "Undo":
<blockquote>Magic Item Property
<blockquote>Description_
Specifies one of the the following predefined menu items for custom menus: Cut, Copy, Paste, Clear, Undo, About, Help, Quit, or Window. Magic menu items are automatically displayed in the native style for the platform on which the form is being executed, with the appropriate accelerator key assigned. Cut, Copy, Paste, Clear, Window, and Quit have Built-in functionality supplied by Oracle Forms, while the other magic menu items can have commands associated with them.
Usage Notes_
The following settings are valid for this property:
Cut, Copy, Paste, Clear
These items perform the usual text-manipulation operations. Oracle Forms supplies their functionality, so the designer may not enter a command for these items.
Undo, About
These items have no native functionality_, so the designer must enter a command for these items. Any type of command can be used for these items, except Menu.

Right click on a link and selecting "open in new window" does not work. How do I gewt this feature to work? PS Right click on a link and selecting open in new tab does.

No matter where the link is - in an e-mail or on a web page - the "Open in new window" feature does not work. Very annoying. Also I close Firefox in a session, but then cannot re-open it. When I shut my PC down I get a prompt to End Task -[ Firefox ] and a window opens asking if I want to save tabs and quit; quit; or cancel. After closing Firefox it does not show as an application running in Task Manager
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I recently re-installed Firefox.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

Multi-select LOV does not work in forms

the multi select LOV does not work in the form.
the LOV works individually but in the form it does not work. it does not allow multiple selection from the list.
is there a workaround for this or is this a bug ...?
any ideas ...?
thanx a lot.
null

Right, we cannot store more than one value in a single column in a table :), we were getting a lot of requests to support multiple select LOVs but requirements were contradictory if not mutually exclusive.
The only sense it makes is when used together with user-defined object types (nested tables for example) but the current [application building]infrastructure we have does not support this. However, we are looking into this and this feature maybe implemented in a future release.

Apple software update for windows does not work properly

Apple software update does not work properly

I FIXED IT!! I can't believe it . I actually figured out how to make it work(well sort of). My Apple Software Updater now works (almost) perfectly and I just successfully downloaded and installed itunes 10.6.3.25 through it!!!
Ok , the way I see it, either the latest itunes update or the recent Windows Patch Tuesday on June 12th, 2012 must have inadvertently removed the Administrative Rights from the Apple Software Update Tool .lnk file.
So you must go to where the file resides on your hard drive - for me that was C:\Program Data\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs - Right click on the Apple software Tool icon and choose properties. Click on the compatibility tab. At the bottom of this tab click on "change settings for all users" and hit Yes at the UAC pop-up. Now make sure you place a check in the "Run this program as Administrator" under the Privilege level section at the bottom. Hit Apply and then OK. The hit Ok again to get off the properties pop-up.
When I went back and clicked on the Apple Software Update shortcut, I got a UAC pop-up asking me if I wanted to proceed(something I had always, in the past, gotten but haven't since this problem started). The Apple Software Update tool came up and to my suprise the progress bar STAYED and started to slowly fill up partially with the green progress bar. Viola, the itunes 10.6.3 update showed up on the top part of the screen as a new update needing to be installed - the bottom screen, as usual, had the changelog info for the 10.6.3 update. I clicked on install and , again, Viola. the update downloaded and installed flawlessly. I had to reboot my computer and when it restarted, itunes was working perfectly and it was correctly showing as itunes v10.6.3.25.
I say it is almost or sort of fixed because when you click on the Apple Software Update shortcut after the 10.6.3 install it goes back to doing the same thing it did before(i.e. processing for a second and then saying there are new updates but showing a blank field). Maybe this is the way the software now looks if there are no updates available to install - maybe Apple is working on this to eventually get it back to normal. All I know is the process I outlined above worked for me(at least to get the ASU to recognize and properly download and install itunes 10.6.3). It's certainly not perfect, but it worked. Please try this method and let me know what results you have with it. Good luck.

URGENT : why get_file_name does not work in forms 9i ?

Hi all
We use oracle 9i 9.2 Developer Suite in our organization ; and I am developing a forms 9i application which includes a get_file_name(save_file) built-in in a when-button-pressed trigger of a button.
The problem is that when I run the application, then the save_file dialog box does not appear when I click on the button which calls the get_file_name built-in ? We had already tested this application with R6i and it worked succesfully.
Why does it so ?
Thank you very much indeed.

Hello Andy!
I supossed that you are using Webutil 1.0.2 to do the operations in the client machine...In Webutil the get_file_name was changed by client_get_file_name.
If you aren't using Webutil download it from:
http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/forms/files/webutil/webutil_102.zip
When unzip the file you can read the "Familiarization Manual" (doc folder) and installa and configure Webutil to do the client-side operations that you require.
Hope its help
Beatriz.

"Open with" in Windows does not work for Bridge CS5

When I right click on a picture to open it with Bridge CS5 nothing happens. Does anybody know how to fix this?
It worked with older version of Bridge and it stopped once I installed the CS5.
I have Windows Vista.

I found out that you can "Browse with Adobe Bridge CS5" when you right click on a folder. However this option is not available for single files. So problem is kind of solved. But if anyone knows how to open single file in Bridge please let me know.
So have you opened the fly out menu that lists the open wiht programs? It has a option down on the bottom to set other "open with" options such as open with Bridge. Does this not work?
It works one single files on my machine.

'New Window' does not work while generating HTMLhelp

Hi team,
I have created a RoboHelp project and assigned the property 'Open in a New Window' for a particular page.
When I generate HTMLhelp format, and I click on the page, it opens in the same frame, but does not open in a new window.
However, this feature works fine when I generate Webhelp.
Is there any workaround?
Any assistance will be appreciated!!!
Santosh.

Hi Thomas,
thanks for the hint, it helped the find the source of the problem.
Our Portal Framework is highliy modified - actually it is more a own developed Framework than a modification to the SAP Standard framework.
Opening the WebDynpro in a new window with the SAP Standard Framework does work perfectly. With the own developed Framework, the system behaviour is like described in my original post.
Thus back to the roots: We have to check our portal framework again :-(.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Stepahn

Preview in Finder windows does not work with VLC Player

hi there,
i am using vlc player, and whenever i access a folder where i have many avi folders that vlc player is set as the default program to open them, the finder windows freezes and i have to relaunch it. also, when i click on get info for a particular avi folder, finder crashes again because it cannot preview the file in the window. does anyone know how i can resolve this issue?
thanks!

paranoidandroid60 wrote:
ok, it works fine with quicktime, but anyone know why vlc player might be doing this?
thanks!
I use VLC and there are some bugs with the latest version. Try an earlier version. WIth VLC, I keep the older versions for things like this.
For instance, the new VLC give the wrong time on a stereo audio file. In fact it gives double the correct time. I have had some other issues with VLC, but it's easy enough to remove and install.
If you make QT the default and then right-click the video and select VLC to play it, does that work?

Keyboard window does not work.

When recording a track using the Keyboard window, all notes clicked with the mouse are recorded just as very short notes. It's as if the mouse was always let up right away after clicking during recording. I'm having this problem with an eMac - there is no problem on other Macs I've tried.
I cannot figure this out...thanks for helping...

OK. I think I finally figured this out...
The specific file I was using was "2-1 Eyewitness Starting" from the CD that comes with the Apple Training Series book "Garageband 2" by Mary Plummer, that is published by Peachpit Press.
The problem exists in some of the files from this book (but not all). I'm wondering if these files are in some way corrupt, or possibly created in an earlier version (1.0?) and are not converted properly.
Anyway, I have no problem with newly created files, so I'm satisfied.
Thanks.

"Move To New Window" Does Not Work in Version 5. It opens a new window, but it's blank, and the tab I wanted as the new window stays where it is. Is this a bug?

Right mouse-clicking on a tab and selecting "Move To New Window" should open the contents of the tab in a new window, and then close the original tab on the original instance of FF. But in Version 5, that action simply spawns a new window that is totally blank, and the tab I wanted opened in a new window stays attached to the original window.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

I can only open up one window with multiple tabs; right click "open in a new window" does not work. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled Firefox with same results.

Just bought a new i5 laptop and am transferring files, etc onto new box. Last night I had two separate Firefox windows up. I downloaded Nexus Ultimate late and rebooted this morning. I had to restart Firefox then, and it did not save my settings/tabs as I prompted it to do when it shut down to reboot.
I uninstalled Nexus and wasted many hours trying to resolve this, including two failed system restores (looks like Nexus is a dirty little bugger) Windows Explorer will open up multiple windows. Firefox will not. Help.

Have you tried: click Firefox button > New Tab > New Window '''''OR''''' CTRL+N '''''OR''''' File > New Window (if using the Menu Bar)
Once open, Firefox locks the Profile that is in use and you can not open another window with that Firefox version and Profile combination using the Windows Desktop icon or the Windows Programs list.

Downloading a pdf file from javascript() window does not work

PDF download/view works fine where the link points to actual pdf file. But I have problem downloading/viewing pdf files that are loaded using javascript(), e.g. bank statements and such. When I click a link FF downloads a file which either has no extension or has a different one (not .pdf).
Later I realized that I can manually rename the downloaded file to insert .pdf extension and open it in reader.
How can I solve this? I don't have this problem when using IE or Chrome.
Thanks

Could you try a new profile?
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
If it still happens with a new and clean profile then the most likely cause is that you have security software that is blocking this JavaScript.
