Mouse focus disapears forms 10g

I am just wondeering if any have had this problem...
open applet, log in, navigate a bit and then java applet window fails and mouse is unusable afterwards can only navigate with the keyboeard...

This sounds like an issue with the installed JVM but it could be a simple configuration issue. Please provide answers to the following questions and we'll see if we can help you solve this problem.
What JVM and version are you using? What Forms version at you using (Forms 10g R1 = version 9.0.4, Forms 10g R2 = 10.0.1)?
What is your OS and version?
What Browser and version are you using?

  • Mouse-Wheel and Forms 10g

    How is it possible to use the mouse-wheel in webforms ?
    e.g. to scroll in a multi-record-block.

    We don't, in general, update already released versions, so no.
    If you absolutely must have a particular fix in a version that has already been released you need to log a one-off request with Support.
    I suggest you upgrade to 10.1.2.2.

  • Forms 10g - mouse focus/navigation problem

    Hello.
    We use:
    - IE 6
    - Java Plug-in 1.5.0_04
    - iAS 10.1.2.0.2 (patch 5023945) on HP-UX 11i
    We are experiencing an annoying problem. Our ORACLE Forms 10g application (migrated a few months ago from forms 4.5) sometimes loses navigation: mouse clicks stop changing cursor item focus or executing buttons ... Many users can't avoid pressing CTL+ALT+DEL to stop it...
    It seams to happen more frequently when users have different windows from different applications opened, navigate to them and then return focus to our application...
    We made a workaround that minimized some specific situations:
    - avoided enabled image items
    - reviewed navigation code to blocks whose first item wasn't navigable (we switched some GO_BLOCK to GO_ITEM)
    Should we go to Patch ID 6311490 (focus fix) for 10.1.2.2 iDS and iAS? Is there any other one more suitable?
    Which patch should we consider for this situation?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Luis
    I've seen this sort of thing before and it wasn't easy to solve. There are things you can do to make it better. Check out Oracle Bug 6737974 on metalink. The main cause seemed to be when-deactive-window trigger.

  • When-mouse-enter forms 10g

    Hi, everybody.
    I have a problem with forms 10g (web) in any sub-version. The problem is that the events when-mouse (enter, leave, ...) does not seem to get fired.
    Is there anything I can do to solve the problem (a parameter to be set, anything to do in the form).
    Any help will be appreciated,
    Thank you.

    -> Why it is still documented? Will we get back a client server forms?
    I wish! But I am sure it is hopeless. They probably need to leave the when-mouse-enter documentation for backward compatibility -- old forms compiled and running in the Web Forms environment. The traffic would be horrendous. I have WME and WML triggers running, and on some forms, rolling the mouse across the canvas causes a lot of flickering -- item prompts flicker. And then there is the mouse-x,y-pos and when-mouse-move. Those are supported in 6i Client/Server, too. I used it to create a drag and drop functionality. Man, does THAT cause some massive trigger firing!!! Trust me, it would NOT work in a web environment.
    And yes, "Hai" is apparently something like an abbreviation for Hello -- a little more formal and polite than Hi. Its use still puzzles me, but apparently that is the reasoning of those who use it.        ?:|

  • Forms 10g Alert button navigation/focus

    Hi,
    I have an alert that pops up on a certain condition that has 3 buttons to choose from. Navigating between buttons using the left and right arrow keys on works between the first 2 buttons only. Focus does not navigate to the 3rd button.
    This did not happen on Forms 6i. Is this normal behavior? Is this a bug in forms 10g? Is there a work around this? Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Im reactivating this thread because I just discovered this problem.
    You are rigth when you say that keyboard navigation works in lookAndFeel=Generic but not lookAndFeel=Oracle.
    But this not the only problem encountered.
    There is also the default button set in the alert that doesn't work and either in lookAndFeel=Generic and lookAndFeel=Oracle.!
    The focus is always on button one, and that is for me a big problem because it usualy the one we use for 'OK' and others for 'CANCEL'.
    I let you imagine what problems we can have if the user press return and send ok to the application .......
    Is there any patch that correct this behaviour (we are in 9.0.4 patchset 1 at the moment) ?
    Thanks

  • Enter key not working in forms 10g

    Hi guys,
    Enter key to select a form is not working
    on my application.
    I have to double click the form to open it using the mouse.
    Then if we try to exit we have to press exit that many number of times as we have pressed enter key.
    So it seems to be storing the key processes.
    We are using forms 10g.
    Please help.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Rohan

    Fixed.
    Changed KB.
    However, this is still strange as the old KB was working fine in other applications.

  • Display Issue in Forms 10g on Windows 7.

    Hello,
    I have a peculiar problem while working on Forms 10g application on Windows 7 Platform. I am able to build form modules and run them. The problem is in the display in the Oracle Applications Server Forms Services window. I use internet explorer(default) to display the results. Apparently I am able to view the correct output only after I scroll the mouse pointer up and down once. To make it more clear, when I click on run form option of the forms builder, the output opens in an internet explorer window. But the screen is blank. I am able to view the resulting frame and its contents after I move the mouse pointer once, in a vertical direction. My instructor told me that it is a problem specific to Windows 7 and can be rectified by using TuneUp Utility but of no help.
    Can anyone solve this please.
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    Since the form is appearing the issue is something to do with the client machine where you are opening the form from.
    Try  again after clearing the web browser cache and java cache. Also you may try this from another machine and confirm of the situation.
    Thanks &
    Best Regards,

  • Lightroom and Windows mouse focus issues.

    In one aspect Lightroom have been always behaving different from other Windows application: Its speed of grabbing mouse focus and moving window to the foreground is exaggerated. This problem will be observed only by people using their WinXP computers in "X11 mode", like with Unix, what allows to perform interaction with processes associated with windows without ever clicking on, or raising such window. Should you be working on large computer clusters as I do, this focusing feature its a blessing.
    This how you can reproduce: Use Tweak UI to adjust the mouse behavior. Select "Mouse," step down to "X=Mouse" and check "Activation follows mouse." Do not select "autoraise."
    Now your WinXP will behave similar to the real X11 xterm with mouse having the "no raise selection" policy. Its not quite identical to xterm, but it really works perfectly in most cases.
    Except... well, except with Lightroom. Lightroom grabs the pointer and pushes the window to the foreground in splits of a second. For example, go to
    "Help|About Adobe Lightroom" to see the credit window. It appears than as usual, but since the help menu will be dismisses, the pointer stands on the main Lightroom window, what makes the credits window vanish in split of a second. No chance to see it!
    Another case: Assume that Lightroom uses almost the entire desktop down to the task bar, and your browser window is smaller. Select the browser on the taskbar and try to move mouse to it. No chance! Lightroom will take over and pop itself to the foreground again. The only solution is to minimize Lightroom. And than sometimes something happens that Lightroom will not restore itself anymore! The "Restore" operation is grayed out, one can only Maximize it. We have reported this numerous times before.
    I am aware that this problem relates only to WinXP users with X11 mouse mode, but with Lightroom reaching now a high degree of maturity, maybe we could take a look at this problem as well?

    In order to overcome most of the known navigation and/or focus issues you need to be using the following:
    <li>Forms 10.1.2.3 or newer (latest is 11.1.2). If/when you are using 10.1.2.3 you would also need to install patch ID 9593176 as this contains additional fixes for focus issues.
    <li>JRE 1.6.0_26 or newer (latest is 1.6.0_30). The latest is always recommended as it contains the most up to date fixes for both technical issues and security issues.
    Patches are only available on MyOracleSupport: http://support.oracle.com

  • Is it possible in forms 10g.

    Hello All Gurus,
    I have a question in forms 10g and database 11g.
    Is it possible to know how the user is navigating between the forms by mouse. For example in a form I have 3 blocks. According to the objects Navigator block1, block2 and block3 are the sequence for the blocks. Also in the layout editor it is synchronized with the object navigator.
    Same the items in the block. My question is if I am in the item1 of block 1 and clicking in the item5 of block 1 then here I am moving forward and if I am in the item 5 of block 1 then click in the item 3 of block 1 then I an moving backward by mouse. Is it possible to know in forms?
    Regards
    SUN

    Let's say you have 5 Blocks named block1 to block5.
    In this five blocks you have 5 Items named item1 to item5
    when moving from block1 to block3 it's foreward; otherway it's backward. (same with the items)
    So in the when-mouse-click trigger:
    check, if the current block is the same as before.
    If so, check if the current item is higher then the last item (substring the itemnames).
    if substr(:global.previous_triggeritem, -1, 1) > substr(:system.trigger_item, -1, 1) then
      moving_backward;
    elsif substr(:global.previous_triggeritem, -1, 1) < substr(:system.trigger_item, -1, 1) then
      moving_foreward;
    else
      position_not_changed;
    end if;If the last block is another then the actual block do the same with the blocknames as you have done with the item names.

  • Forms 10g Design Rich User Interface

    Dear All,
    i would link to design rich user interface in forms 10g.
    for example : the button shape is circle , not only
    rectangle.
    Is it possible to do that in forms 10g or import some java object from third party tools.
    best regards
    borisys

    Borisys,
    the concept of Pluggable Java Comnponents (PJC) allows you that. PJC only change the UI of a component without affecting its functionality.
    The Forms demos that are available on otn.oracle.com/products/forms contain enhanced buttons in teh form of mouse over effects.

  • Forms 10g keyboard help

    I'm using Forms 10g rel 2 (10.1.2.0.2). I have several Key-Fx triggers defined in my form. They are defined at the form level, block level & item level. All of them have the display in keyboard help property = yes & a description of what the key does in the keyboard help text property. However when I run the form & do a show keys only the Key-Fx trigger at the form level shows up in the help even if the focus is in the block or item where the others Key-Fx triggers are located. The triggers work but they just don't display in the help. Anyone know what the problem is or is this a bug?

    I discovered that the help text is limited to 29 characters. If you enter 30 characters it will still display the key but with no keyboard text. If you enter more than 30 characters then the key will not be displayed in help at all.

  • Forms 10g usage / logging

    Hi,
    We're running WebForms10g on OAS. We have about 700+ forms running across 12 servers.
    I'd really like to get a profile of which Forms are being used by the end users on a daily / weekly basis so that we can prioritise and focus our development efforts.
    I must admit that I'm no technical expert in this area so please forgive me if I use the wrong terminology. :-)
    My tech support people have search through every possible file on the app and web servers for possible logging when a form is called.
    Some Form names have been logged but most haven't.
    In the past (when we were on Forms 6) we added some log code into every Form to write data away to a table but I really want to avoid this approach.
    Can anyone advise on the best way of logging Form usage at runtime on Forms10/OAS running on Linux ?
    Are there any standard tools for reporting form usage?
    Is there logging that we can turn on? How do we do this?
    What would the affect of logging be on performance?
    Any advice would be much appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Paul Thomas, UK

    Consider starting with the documentation that covers creating java beans for Forms. Some of the information is available in the Forms Builder online help and additional information is available in an older white paper on OTN:
    This paper was originally created for 9.0.2, but the concepts remain basically the same.
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/forms_in_java_world.pdf
    The Forms 10.1.2 online help is available within the Builder or online here:

  • Create pop-up windows in forms 10g

    I have an application in which several formal controls are made before insert/update a record. Some of them are blocking, some others arent.
    Actually, at every constraint violation, a message is displayed with an alert. So, the user may got one or more alerts before he succeed in inserting/updating a record. And it may be annoying to click on 'OK' a lot of times!
    So, I wish to collect all error message and display them in a window, which is to be displayed in a pop-up way (something like the alerts that appear at the bottom-right corner of our screen when we have new mail).
    The issue is that the pop-up window must not disturb the user, i.e it should be displayed and iconized after few seconds, leaving the focus on the main window.
    I tried several solutions, but each of them have some issues.
    External HTML page: maybe its the easiest solution. But bluring it, the focus doesnt return to the form application.
    New window: I can run and iconize it. But, as in the previous case, the main window lost the focus.
    New canvas: I put a text item LOG_ERRORS in a new canvas, in the same main window. But when I run it, the main canvas disappear.
    does anyone know how to create popup windows in forms 10g (if it is possible)?
    thank you

    You can use a new window and set "Window Style" to "Dialog" then you can show the window without the main-window loosing the focus
