Is it possible to create a drop down menu using form fields rather than text?

Is it possible to create a drop down menu using form fields rather than text?

Yes, correct - values of form fields. If one is blank, then the field would be blank - yes? If two or more have the same value that is fine.
A standard dropdown ... As shown here. If there is an easier way to do this, I'd love to hear your suggestions. Thank you!

Calling Report from Menu (Oracle Forms 10g)

We have the applications in Forms6i & Reports 6i (Client Server) and migrating to Forms 10g and Reports 10g. We have the menu, from that menu we are calling all the forms and Reports. For especially Reports earlier we user RUN_PRODUCT but now 10g it is not working. How can call the report using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT
Important things we have some dynamic parameters (input) to the each report. That means when i called the report from the menu i need to get first parameter form to take the parameters and then can be run the report.

Here is the code to call report from menu in 10g
DECLARE
pl_id ParamList;
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep varchar2(100);
v_server VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status varchar2(100);
v_host VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
     select rep_server into v_server from reports_data;
     select machine into v_host from reports_data;
pl_id := Get_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
     IF NOT Id_Null(pl_id) THEN
     Destroy_Parameter_List( pl_id );
     END IF;
     pl_id := Create_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'P_C_CODE',TEXT_PARAMETER,:GLOBAL.COMPANY);
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'P_B_CODE',TEXT_PARAMETER,:GLOBAL.BRANCH);
     repid := find_report_object('REPORTOBJ');
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_FILENAME,getpath||'E_VOUCHER_ENTRY.RDF');
          SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
          SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'htmlcss');
          SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_SERVER,v_server);
          v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid, pl_id);
          rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep);
          WHILE rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED')
               LOOP
                    rep_status := report_object_status(v_rep);
                         message('Running');
               END LOOP;
          IF rep_status = 'FINISHED' or rep_status is NULL THEN
               --Display report in the browser
               WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://'||v_host||'/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server='||v_server,'_blank');
          ELSE
               null;
     END IF;
END;

Does anyone know how to enable/disable a dropdown menu in Forms at runtime?

Is there a way how to disable/enable dropdown menu for menus that have multiple sub levels in Oracle Forms? I am trying to use the set_menu_item_property function but this takes 'menu.item' format for the first argument. I am trying to enable/disable a menu item in the form of 'menu.item.subitem' and was not able to do it using this function. If anyone knows a different function or method, please reply. I have shown an example below.
Setup -> Software -> Front Page
From the above example, I can enable/disable Software using set_menu_item_property function. But, how do I enable/disable the Front Page menu in Oracle forms at runtime?
Thanks
Edited by: user480347 on Aug 24, 2010 3:37 PM

Yes you are on the right track. You need to pass then complete menu name to set_menu_item_property
Immediate_parent menu.item_name e.g
For example you have menu like this
Id like
A1 A10 > A1010
Home > Input > Form 1
A1 A10 > A1020
Home > Input > Form 2 To disable Form 2 you must pass menu name as
A10.A1020Hope it helps

How to compile menu in forms

Dear All
How to compile menu if anyone already using the menu
if it is possible will you please reply.

Thank you for sending me reply
but my problem is when compile the menu if any user
access the menu
form builder doesn't allow to compile it. for that i
have to down the form serverAre you sure you're talking about Oracle Forms Builder??
You can compile your source .mmb even if there's any user running the runtime of your menu .mmx
What you can't do is, you cannot replace (overwrite) the .mmx if there is any session using it.

Default menu in forms 10.1.2.0.2

Hi,
I have created a form in 10g and am using the default oracle Menu for this form. It has all the needed icons except for LOV. Can somebody tell me how to add the LOV icon in the default menu. I dont want to create a whole new menu for one icon. Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.

The default menu is dynamically generated but there is a starter menu file that you can add to and use as your menu. It's called menudef.mmb. See this thread for how to get it: Forms6 : default menus menudef.mmb and menudefs.mmb

Error when running attached menu to form

I have recently attached a menu to a form. It worked the first
time, but not I just get the error :
"form-10221: Cannot read file <menu filename>"
I have recompiled "This section" as well as "compile all".
According Oracle help, I should just recompile the application
library.
Any ideas ?

Hi,
You have to put your menu where oracle can find it.
Check where it goes in the regedit/ formXX_path
add a new path or place your menu in the default oracle path.
by default it is supposed to find it if it is in the same folder
but not every time...
another solution create a shortcut and put all you need to run
the form in a single folder and mark this folder in the start in
box of your shortcut.
I hope this help you.
Sorry for my english!

How to make menu/list (form) item open in it's own window instead of blank one?

Items in a form (list/menu) that I've created are opening in a blank window (pop-up) when clicked. I would like them to open in "self" mode so that pop up blockers on various computers don't become a challenge for site visitors. Can anyone please tell me how I could make that adjustment using Dreamweaver? I am a novice (if that) in coding, so if there is a design view solution that would be absolutely awesome. Any assistance to get me on the right track would be GREATLY appreciated!! BTW I also made the form a library item (just in case that fact is needed). Also if you need to see the actual link it is
http://www.graphicmechanic.com/DEKALBCOUNTY/index.html. The "I WANT TO" list is the part I'm referring to.
I am also attaching 3 files (the .lbi file, the template and the page both are applied to).
I tried a couple of things already. One was javascript, but I still seemed to have problems, the others were selecting the form and changing the target to self. Another developer said that I would need to apply the target attribute to each link, but I am having trouble doing this.

No. They removed that functionality as an improvement to iTunes in version 11. I saw one person mentioning making a screen grab of the window and displaying it as an image in Preview while looking at the actual iTunes in another window, but it doesn't quite strike me as being the same...

I don't know why this error appear , although I did the same in Forms 10g and the result was OKay ..... completely empty bar ( without any errors ).
any suggest will be appreciate to solve this problem in my forms 6i.

but i encountered by this error when I press Ctrl+R (in RunTime ):-

You need to have some active items left in your menu that are accessible to your users (Like the EXIT option).
This also happens if you use no menu at all for a character mode version.
This error can occur if the menu module has roles defined, but none of the menu items in the menu have attached roles. Make sure that at least one
menu item in the main or starting menu has a role attached to it, and the user you are connected as is included in the role.
If you do not want the menu roles to be enforced at runtime, disable the Use Security menu module property.
If you make any changes to the menu, make sure you regenerate the menu to create a new .mmx file before running the form again. Oracle Forms Runtime
will use the .mmx file.

Calling Report from Menu (Oracle Forms 11g)

I'm trying to call a report from a menu item in a menu (that is attached to a form) in Oracle Forms 11g directly and I'm having some difficulty. I know how to call a report from a form and everything works perfectly.
But since in a menu there is no item called "Report" to attach like there is in Forms, I followed on route which is to attach the "rp2rro" PL/SQL library on the menu file (mmb) and I also even did it on the form itself. Then when you convert a menu using the Forms Migration Assistant, it will comment out statements like "ADD_PARAMETER" and replace with calls to packaged procedures/functions from the package "rp2rro". I set all the parameters
RP2RRO.SETOTHERS('PARAMFORM=YES');
RP2RRO.SETDESTYPE('CACHE');
RP2RRO.SETDESFORMAT('PDF');
RP2RRO.SETCOMMUNICATIONMODE(SYNCHRONOUS);
then made the call to the report:
RP2RRO.RUN_PRODUCT(REPORTS, 'MYREPORT', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, param_list_id, NULL);
but all i get is the error "FRM-41219: Cannot find report: invalid ID."
The Oracle documentation for integration reports in forms is for when you execute the report within a form not a menu item (that is attached to a form). Any clues?
My environment is:
Oracle (Database, Fusion Middleware) 11g - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
Web Browser - Internet Explorer 7 on Windows XP Professional
Thanks,

One option is to use the Web.Show_Document() built-in, with the complete Report Server URL inside. Of course, you can hide some information (connection string for instance) by calling a section of the /reports/conf/cgicmd.dat configuration file.

'&paramform=yes';
v_rep_url := c_relative_path || c_rep_srv_name || v_rep_srv_params;
web.show_document(v_rep_url, '_blank');
END;
and I get a new tab in the browser opening up (which is good at least) with the Oracle Reports Services page saying:
Error
No such Web command ().
Now I've tried putting a URL of a Oracle's website (http://www.oracle.com) and that works perfectly. Another question is, where would the default directory be if I wanted to say call an HTML file? Would it be in the directory of FORMS_PATH where all my fmb, fmx, rdf, pll, etc...files are stored?

PHP/MySQL: 'Add New' text field from menu in form

I am creating an events posting website. I'm having a hard time finding the right words to describe this, but: I'd like the user to select a venue from the drop menu, but then if it isn't there, to select 'add new' from the dynamic menu, and have a new text field activate where they can enter in the new venue name. My database is currently set up so the event table links to the venue table through a venueID. Is there a way to insert the name from the new text field into the venue table, and have the rest of the form still submit to the event table? Sorry this is so wordy, but I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.

You cannot add a new value to a related table at the same time as inserting a record. So, to do this, you would need to use both JavaScript to add the new text field, and PHP conditional logic to handle the update to both tables. It's certainly doable, but not with the Dreamweaver server behaviors. You would need to do a lot of hand-coding yourself.
The way that I approached a similar problem in my "Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS4" was to permit NULL values in the column that holds the foreign key, and insert nothing into that field if the value hadn't already been registered in the related table. I created a static value in the dynamic menu for "Not registered".
After inserting the new record with "not registered", the user then needs to enter the new value in the related table.
Once that has been done, display a page that lists all records. In the SQL, I use a LEFT JOIN to ensure that "not registered" items come up as well. You can then edit the item to add the value from the dynamic menu.
It's not the most elegant way to do it, but it works if you don't have the skill or time to hand-code all the logic yourself.
