Open Dialog in oracle forms

Dear Friends,
I am new to this discussion forum and i would like to know how to get the windows open dialog from oracle forms. I want the user to select the text file available in the system using the open dialog.
Thanks in advance
Mohan

When you are using Forms 6i in client/server mode, use the built-in
GET_FILE_NAME (see manual for details).
In 9i or web mode, you need a java bean.

  • How to invoke 'File Open' dialog box in Forms (under unix)

    Hi all,
    On the Unix platform (motif), how do I get the File Open Dialog
    Box by using Forms45.
    Thanks and regards,

    going from 6i to 10g is a migration. That's no easy step normally.
    client-server-functionality has gone. web-functionality is new.
    Install the new webutil-toolset from oracle and use the new file-open-dialog from the webutil.pll. That's the way you work in the new 10g-environment.
    Read in the forms-section of the OTN the migration-papers and the webutil-doc's

  • Printing a document without opening it in Oracle Forms 10g

    Hi Friends,
    This is my first thread in this forum. Please any one give me a solution for my below request.
    We use oracle 10g and windows (any version). I want to print some files available in a folder without opening it (run in background) through oracle forms.
    My requirement is:
    A folder contains 10 files of word and excels documents. The client machine user (for example 3 clients’ machines who has different default printer configuration) has to trigger the print command to print the documents.
    * I have found Article "Java Bean to print a file to Local Printer" (http://forms.pjc.bean.over-blog.com/article-6621538.html). I do think it will help.
    * I have found a windows command prompt print concept.
    PRINT mytext.txt /D:LPT2
    Prints a text file.
    PRINT [D:device] [[drive:][path]filename[...]]
    /D:device specifies a print device.
    * The command prompt print syntax is used with webutil function as given below.
    CLIENT_HOST('cmd PRINT mytext.txt /D:LPT2);
    1) is the web util syntax only enough for this requirement?
    2) In this how to find the default printers in each client machines and use in the place of syntax?
    3) Or any other ways available for this requirement.
    I look forward solution for this question....!

    Hi Jeshra,
    Another option would be to find or write a Windows PowerShell script to print any file and then call that from CLIENT_HOST. Many file types, including Microsoft Office files, have a print operation registered with Windows so you can right-click on them in Windows Explorer and choose "Print." You should be able to exploit this ability with PowerShell.
    A quick Google search revealed this potential PowerShell solution:
    http://powershell.com/cs/blogs/karl-prosser/archive/2009/02/10/print_2D00_file_2D00_function.aspx
    PowerShell is installed by default only on Windows 7 so you would have to install it on older Windows clients.
    Hope that helps,
    Brian

  • How we can Open dialog box in form 6i

    Hi
    How we can use file Dialog Box (Open Dialg,Save Dialog Etc) in forms 6i.
    Thanks & Regards

    Use GET_FILE_NAME built in
    ** Built-in: GET_FILE_NAME
    ** Example: Can get an image of type TIFF.
    DECLARE
    filename VARCHAR2(256)
    BEGIN
    filename := GET_FILE_NAME(File_Filter=> 'TIFF Files (*.tif)|*.tif|');
    READ_IMAGE_FILE(filename, 'TIFF', 'block5.imagefld);

  • Reports which generate Excel output do not open under ie8/Oracle Forms

    Hello,
    we run Oracle Forms (regardless whether under Jinitiator 1.3.1.22(28) or SUN JVM) and generate Excel output with Oracle Reports (web.show_document). This works well under Internet Explorer 6 (ie6) but not under Internet Explorer 8 (ie8).
    The effect ist that a new browser window opens and closes very quickly without anything further happening.
    I honestly assume that this has not to do with oracle reports but ask this nevertheless in this forum as there might be people which made the same experiences...
    I additionally found out that the same problem exists when gerenating excel or ms word output via a db procedure (with http. modules). There I found that suppressing the question (open/save/cancel) before opening a file (via the windows explorer file type association menu) helped with excel and ms word output (but this might be regarded as a not satisfying workaround).
    The problem persists with other applications' file types than XLS or DOC which are also correctly registered on the client.
    I'm not sure whether mimetypes sent along with the files (which were obviously correct with ie6) play a role in this problem.
    Peter

    Hello,
    Your problem with IE 8 seems to be similar to the one discussed here :
    IE7 windows opened and closed immediatly
    http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/Internet_Email/Web_Browsers/Interne
    t_Explorer/Q_23304982.html
    You can test the solution suggested :
    We have found the setting that we needed, under the Internet Options
    Security tab, if you select the internet zone, and click the custom level
    button, then scroll down to the Downloads section, the first option is
    Automatic prompting for file downloads, setting this to enable keeps IE 7
    from interfering with this sort of download.
    Example with screen shots :

  • Forms 10g crashes while opening an oversize Oracle seeded form

    Hi,
    I am trying to open Oracle R12 seeded form 'PAXPREPR' using forms 10g. I connect to the database before opening the file. The size of the file is 11.8MB.
    But when i open this file, oracle forms crashes without any error message.
    I checked the 11i version of same form, that is of size 6.07 MB, and that opens fine with forms 10g.
    Is it a way i can reduce the size of file, or open it with some way. I just want to have look into some code in the form, and find out any changes done from 11i to R12.
    My form builder version is Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.0.2
    and running on Windows 7.
    Thanks!!

  • How to view field name for a field in Oracle form?

    I was told you can do this but I forgot how.

  • Search in Oracle forms

    Dear professionals,
    how to search in oracle forms by using toolbar: (press enter query key + press execute key) using next criteria:
    1. value in date item is less then some value (ex. date_item <01.02.2011) picture
    2. how to search NULL values in date items, and non date items (IS NULL doesn't work)
    it's not problem to define dynamically such criteria: set_block_property('block_name',default_where,'date_item IS NULL') OR set_block_property('block_name',default_where,'date_item <'01.02.2011'').
    is there any useful link for oracle forms search tips ?
    Thx in advance,

    You can use substitution variables like I mentioned in my previous post. In Enter-Query mode, enter :V and then execute query, it will popup a Query/Where dialog and in that you can type your condition like

    -- or
    YourDateItem < SYSDATEIf you are using Forms10g, then see the above link from Francois. It suggests you to enable this feature by setting FORMS_RESTRICT_ENTER_QUERY=FALSE in DEFAULT.ENV file.

    FrancoisThx a lot guys, it works now. I changed default.env file, and it's possible to search by complex criteria.
    But, it's still more complex for common user to learn sql in order to custom search then right click in MS Access and choose Filter by selection, for example...

  • See BLOB contents on Oracle FORMS

    Is there anyway that I can see the BLOB object contents in Oracle Forms? For example, if I have a word document in BLOB, I should be able to open it in Oracle forms. I've already posted this today, but just for clarification, I'm reposting this with exact requirements. My client wishes to see data from a table and in that a BLOB object is one of the columns. For each row, there is a word document, which should also be displayed (or at least a link) on Form. If clicked on the link, the BLOB content, i.e., the word document should get opened. Please let me know if there is any way. Francois was trying to help me, I think this explanation makes it clear for him and also others. I don't have webutil library and my Forms version is 6.0.8.18.3. Please help me soon. I'm in an urgent realease this weekend and need this deliberately. It is not possible to upgrade to newer version for me.
    Thanks
    Sarma.

    In fact, I just had to do this today. It works as expected using an image item on the BLOB column. I am at 10.1.2.0.2, if that makes any difference. Are you positive you have data in the BLOB column? I noticed that after loading a table with image items, I used SQL Developer to look at the table to ensure there was data in the rows. After that, the images no longer appeared in the form. I had to reload the table, then all was well again.
