Multiple Item selection

Question

Hi,
I wanted to know if this scenario is possible to code in forms:
You have a forms with 2 side by side window. In the left window there are records.
The right window is empty. I want to select (multiple) items in the left window and bring them to the right window by using these buttons:
, >>,Is there some base code that already exists from this?
Thanks in advance,
Marc.

Answer 1

Ok,
I've downloaded the forms demos for 10g.
I'm following the instructions at:
3 Modify the OC4J Configuration3a Modify orion-web.xml
This step will create the virtual directories and servlet mappings for the HTTP listener, which are used by the demos.
Using a text editor, open the following file:
%ORACLE_HOME%\j2ee\DevSuite\application-deployments\forms\formsweb\orion-web.xml
Add the following lines within the <orion-web-app> tags, making sure to replace %ORACLE_HOME% with the correct value:
<classpath path="%ORACLE_HOME%/forms/java/frmjdapi.jar" />
<classpath path="%ORACLE_HOME%\forms\demos/metadatabrowser/classes" />
<virtual-directory virtual-path="/formsdemo" real-path="%ORACLE_HOME%\forms\demos" />
To be sure you have the placement correct, your file should look something like the following:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE orion-web-app PUBLIC "-//ORACLE//DTD OC4J Web Application 9.04//EN" "http://xmlns.oracle.com/ias/dtds/orion-web-9_04.dtd">
<orion-web-app
deployment-version="10.1.2.0.2"
jsp-cache-directory="./persistence"
temporary-directory="./temp"
servlet-webdir="/servlet/"
>
  <context-param-mapping name="configFileName">c:\oracle\ids1012/forms/server/formsweb.cfg</context-param-mapping>
  <virtual-directory virtual-path="/html" real-path="c:\oracle\ids1012/tools/web/html" />
  <virtual-directory virtual-path="/java" real-path="c:\oracle\ids1012/forms/java" />
  <virtual-directory virtual-path="/jinitiator" real-path="c:\oracle\ids1012/jinit" />
  <session-tracking cookies="disabled" />
  <!-- Uncomment this element to control web application class loader behavior.
  <web-app-class-loader search-local-classes-first="true" include-war-manifest-class-path="true" />
  -->
  <classpath path="c:\oracle\ids1012/forms/java/frmjdapi.jar" />
  <classpath path="c:\oracle\ids1012\forms\demos/metadatabrowser/classes" />
  <virtual-directory virtual-path="/formsdemo" real-path="c:\oracle\ids1012\forms\demos" />
</orion-web-app>
3b Modify web.xml
Using a text editor, open the following file:
%ORACLE_HOME%\forms\j2ee\formsapp\formsweb\WEB-INF\web.xml
Find where this text is located:
<servlet>
  <servlet-name>lservlet</servlet-name>
  <servlet-class>oracle.forms.servlet.ListenerServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
and put the following text after it:
<!-- Forms JDAPI Metadata Browser Servlet -->
<servlet>
  <servlet-name>FormsBrowser</servlet-name>
  <servlet-class>oracle.forms.jdapi.util.FormsBrowser</servlet-class>
</servlet>
You should end up with the following:
<servlet>
  <servlet-name>lservlet</servlet-name>
  <servlet-class>oracle.forms.servlet.ListenerServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<!-- Forms JDAPI Metadata Browser Servlet -->
<servlet>
  <servlet-name>FormsBrowser</servlet-name>
  <servlet-class>oracle.forms.jdapi.util.FormsBrowser</servlet-class>
</servlet>
In the same file, now find the following text:
<servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>lservlet</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>/lservlet*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
and put the following text after it:
<servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>FormsBrowser</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>/FormsBrowser*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
You should end up with the following:
<servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>lservlet</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>/lservlet*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>FormsBrowser</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>/FormsBrowser*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
3c Verify the changes
Start OC4J.  If you're not sure how to do that, refer to Appendix 1 for instructions.  If OC4J was already running when you made these changes then you need to restart it first.
Once OC4J is running (or re-started), enter the following URL, replacing <host> and <port> with the correct values:
http://<host>:<port>/forms/formsdemo/images/tick.gif
If you are using Oracle Developer Suite, the URL might look like this:
http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/formsdemo/images/tick.gif
You should see this image:Well the thing is I don't see anything and I get the Error page in my browser:
The page cannot be found
The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
Please try the following:
If you typed the page address in the Address bar, make sure that it is spelled correctly.
Open the nca7445782e.hrdc-drhc.net:8889 home page, and then look for links to the information you want.
Click the  Back button to try another link.
Click  Search to look for information on the Internet.

Thanks,
