Multiple status bars in forms 9i

I have recently upgraded from forms 6i to 9i. I have removed some stuff (like the default menu). I am close to being done with this upgrade. I have one issue that I am having difficultly with. When I load my form, that form gets a status bar. I have a tabbed canvas and when I click on the next tab (which is a new form) the new form gets its own status bar. So, now I have a case where I have two status bars visible when I open a new form. The first forms status bar is still there after I load the new form. In forms 6i, I do not have this problem so it must be something new.
Is there anything I can do about that? I really only need the status bar for the form I am using? When I exit the other form and return back to the first form, the status bar associated with that form goes away.
Any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated...

clear the form level property called "console window".

SHOW STATUS BAR ON FORMS DISPLAYING ON OAS

Hi when we worked with forms 6i an all of our forms we had the status bar at the bottom of the form that showed us any error that happend in the forms as the famous ora-xxxxxx.
But when we migrated the forms to web we no longer see the status bar in the forms. This must be to some parameter in the formsweb.cfg file that we didnt set up right, so if anyone can point me to the right solution it would be really aprecciated.
Thanks,

If your form module includes a window for the console window, then I am wondering if maybe your the height and width that you have defined in your formsweb.cfg file is larger than the size of your window in forms. I just made the height of my formsweb.cfg three times the value that it was and you don't see the bar at the bottom unless you use the scroll bar to scroll way down, but it is still there you just don't notice it. Have you tried adjusting the width and height properties in formsweb.cfg? Is a scroll bar displaying in the browser?

User messgaes on status bar of forms

Instead of the forms default messages lile
record 1/3..
i would like to customize these message and i want ot show my own instead of the
' record 1/3 ' .
Can anybosy help me in this.
Thanks in advance

You cannot suppress those messages, but what you can do is in the Forms property set the console window to null and create your own stacked canvas with a display_item or just a display_item in the main form and display your messages there. There will be a lot of coding required, but that is how you can do it.

Form path in call_form and compilation error and status bar.

Dear all,
what should be the path in the call_form?
my forms (developed in form 6i) give error when i run it in forms 9i. i have already compiled. with the form 9i.
the status bar is invisible when running in the browser.
i am new to developer 9i.
thanks
Muhammad Nadeem

Hi:
When you call the forms in the subdirectories, you need to use the full path. Example:
CALL_FORM('c:\forms\D1\some_form');
Of course, you realize that this makes your forms less portable and could in the future cause more problems than it solves. Is there any reason you cannot just keep all your forms in one directory and possibly use a prefix to manage them if they belong to different sub-applications?

Status bar for multiple preloaded levels (kglad are you there?)

OK, ive been building a site for about a month now and slowly piecing it together- so far ive managed to get all my various different levels loading and unloading the way i want them to, but now id like a little status bar to load on screen as my multiple levels are loaded in the background.
The way ive been accomplishing this without the load bar is like so:
on first frame of main movie
loadMovieNum("dl_web.swf", 3);
loadMovieNum("dl_illustration.swf", 4);
loadMovieNum("dl_retouching.swf", 5);
(the first frame of each of those movies has a stop function on it)
And i have buttons on the main movie that make each of those levels visible and play.
NOW, ive just created a movie clip ive named "bar" which is a thin rectangle, and i would like to have that movie clip load lengthways as my multiple levels are loaded in the background. So, my question is how do i accomplish this? I've looked all over and it seems like all the good preload tutorials are loading into movieclips whereas i am loading into levels.
Right now my site is technically working, but there will be pauses for people with slower internet connections and i need my bar graphic to pop up so they dont think they are dealing with a broken site....

that code should be in a frame (like 1), that plays once. the playhead should not return to that frame.
oops, we also need:
loadMovieNum("test.swf", 3);
loadMovieNum("dl_illustration.swf", 4);
loadMovieNum("dl_retouching.swf", 5);
preloadI=setInterval(preloadF,200);
function preloadF(){
var bl:Number=0;
var bt:Number=0;
if(_level3.getBytesTotal()>0){
bl+=_level3.getBytesLoaded();
bt+=_level3.getBytesTotal();
if(_level4.getBytesTotal()>0){
bl+=_level4.getBytesLoaded();
bt+=_level4.getBytesTotal();
if(_level5.getBytesTotal()>0){
bl+=_level5.getBytesLoaded();
bt+=_level5.getBytesTotal();
if(bt>0){
bar._xscale = 100*bl/bt; //<- adjust this to suit your needs.
if(bl>0&&bl>=bt&&_level3.getBytesLoaded()>0&&_level4.getBytesLoaded()>0&&_level5.getBytesL oaded()>0){
clearInterval(preloadI);

Forms 9i status bar?

dear all,
the form's status bar is invisible. when the form is started in browser from a remote computer.
how to show the status bar?
i want to show messages.
thanks
Muhammad Nadeem

Hi, I found this on Metalink.
Though your forms module contains Console_Window property set to a valid
window but use of the Set_Window_Property and setting forms_mdi_window property
to maximize causes this problem.
Commenting out the following line of code will resolve the issue:
Set_Window_Property(forms_mdi_window,window_state,maximize);

Up next doesn't seem to work properly with multiple speakers over airplay. The status bar on the computer shows the song playing, but not over airplay. When I restart the song it plays, but the same thing happens when the next song cues up. Any ideas?

Forms status bar show BSC

OAS : 10.1.2.3
I've got a form with a menu attached and in the form status bar I see besides record : 1/1 also <BSC>
Does anyone knows what this means ?
I know I can hide the status bar by putting <null> in the console window, but I'll like to know where this comes from.

What Are Acronyms , and That Appear On The Forms Status/ Message Line? [ID 1076485.6]
Modified 28-FEB-2003 Type PROBLEM Status ARCHIVED
Problem Description:
====================
What do the acronyms - OSC, BGM and DBG that come up in the Forms Runtime
console window actually mean ??
Problem Explanation:
====================
When a form created with Developer 6.0 uses a custom menu, the console may show
the following:
<OSC> <BGM> <DBG>
These are not displayed in Developer 2.1 or 1.6.1. They are not related to
menu security, and so will appear even if no menu security is specified.
Solution Description:
=====================
These symbols or lamps refer back to SQL*Menu version 5.0.
The definitions can be found in SQL*Menu manual page 1-7.
They are:
<OSC> = Operating System Commands available.
<DBG> = Debug
<BGM> = Background Menu.
This was logged as BUG:919591. The bug is now closed.
These symbols have no meaning today and it is currently unknown why they have
shown up in Developer version 6. For example, the Host pl/sql command
has superceded the <OSC> menu macro.

How can I use the same thread to display time in both JPanel & status bar

Hi everyone!
I'd like to ask for some assistance regarding the use of threads. I currently have an application that displays the current time, date & day on three separate JLabels on a JPanel by means of a thread class that I created and it's working fine.
I wonder how would I be able to use the same thread in displaying the current time, date & day in the status bar of my JFrame. I'd like to be able to display the date & time in the JPanel and JFrame synchronously. I am developing my application in Netbeans 4.1 so I was able to add a status bar in just a few clicks and codes.
I hope somebody would be able to help me on this one. A simple sample code would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

As you're using Swing, using threads directly just for this kind of purpose would be silly. You might as well use javax.swing.Timer, which has done a lot of the work for you already.
You would do it something like this...
    ActionListener timerUpdater = new ActionListener() {
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
            // DateFormat would be better, but this is an example.
            String timeString = new Date().toString();
            statusBar.setText(timeString);
            someOtherLabel.setText(timeString);
    new Timer(1000, timerUpdater).start();That code will update the time once a second. If you aren't going to display seconds, you might as well increase the delay.
The advantage of using a timer over using an explicit thread, is that multiple Swing timers will share a single thread. This way you don't blow out your thread count. :-)

I have v. 3.6.8. It will display blank white pages at some site and not at others. I use safe mode and the access is reversed... what used to open doesn't and what didn't does. . .
Is anyone trying to fix this problem - or are users just left to chasing their tails on this issue?
Just curious ... in order to help me decide to wait for help or move on to something else...
Until that time ... Earl J.
