Issue with Icons display in PUSH BUTTONS in forms 11g

Hello,
This is regarding an issue with the icons background for the push buttons in the forms 11g. When we enable the icons for the buttons (.gif) they are visible on the
top left corner of the buttons and not in the centre. In one of the forums it was written like this is a common problem in Forms 11g. Is there any way by which we can
centralize this icons on the Forms buttons. Also I have heard that image editing tools can be used to centralize the icons. I tried with one of the tools but it seems
like it is not working.
Can somebody suggest a workaround for this?
Thanks in Advance
Ram

I will assume you are attempting to use the images included in the Forms applet jar. These images are purposely structured so that the subject is off-centered. You should not see that same behavior if you use your own images or edit the ones built-in to Forms. However, keep in mind that the images packaged in the Forms applet jar are intended to be used in a menu toolbar and not custom buttons.
For more information, refer to MyOracleSupport note 1391073.1 where I explain this in detail.

Displaying internal image on a push button

Hi,
I am running oracle forms 11.1.2.0.0.
I create a push button and under object property make it an iconic yes
and under iconic file name I have "java/oracle/forms/icons/save.gif"
During run-time it displays a image but it is not of save, it is an image of badimage.gif
Even if I change save.gif to print.gif it is same result.
What am I missing?
Thanks

Color of the push button in Forms 6i

HI,
I want to change the color of the push button from the default gray color to something else and also the font type. Is it possible? If yes, how to do it ?

On Microsoft Windows, the colors of buttons, window title bars, and window borders are controlled by the Windows Control Panel color
settings specified for these elements. You cannot override these colors in Form Builder even by using visual attributes.
The button color attributes are controlled exclusively by the Color facility in the Control Panel.
To define button color attributes do the following :
1. To do this go to 'Settings' + 'control panel'.
2. Double-click on 'display' and select 'appearance' from the menu .
3. Select '3D Objects' from the 'item' list .
4. The background color and the foreground color can be changed to your favourite ones.
But the important thing to note here is that this will affect all the 3D objects in all the applications in your system .
Or you can try this workaround if it is suitable. Use a display item with a "Bevel" property of "Raised" and the "Default Value"
property whatever the label should be. Then attach a WHEN-MOUSE-CLICK trigger to it. You can change the foreground and background colors to whatever you want since it's really just a field.

Displaying Icons on Push Buttons in forms 10g

How can i Display Icons on Push Buttons in forms 10g ?

I want to stop loop through push button forms 10g

I want to stop looping through push button forms 10g it is like (SwingWorker() in java) (DoEvent() in .net)
The problem in forms 10g that when you start looping the form will freeze and you can't push any button on form, I found solution for that in form 6i through package d2kwutil **WIN_API_UTILITY.InterruptCheck(hButton)**
But in 10g I can't find solution, Please help>>>>>
declare
     hButton          PLS_INTEGER;
begin
:interruptcheck.counter := 0;
hButton := get_item_property('INTERRUPTCHECK.PB_OFF',WINDOW_HANDLE);
go_item('interruptcheck.loopcount');
set_item_property('INTERRUPTCHECK.PB_OFF',ENABLED,PROPERTY_TRUE);
set_item_property('INTERRUPTCHECK.PB',ENABLED,PROPERTY_FALSE);
set_application_property(CURSOR_STYLE,'HELP');
set_application_property(CURSOR_STYLE,'<d2kwut60>WAIT');
for i in 1..:interruptcheck.loopcount LOOP
     if WIN_API_UTILITY.InterruptCheck(hButton) then
          exit;
     end if;
     :interruptcheck.counter := i;
     synchronize;
end loop;
set_item_property('INTERRUPTCHECK.PB_OFF',ENABLED,PROPERTY_FALSE);
set_item_property('INTERRUPTCHECK.PB',ENABLED,PROPERTY_TRUE);
set_application_property(CURSOR_STYLE,'DEFAULT');
end;

Ok, here's a working testcase.
The idea is taken from an article from an oracle magazine (i don't have it at hand, , so i tried to rebuild it by "memory". As far as i remember the original was from the german doag-magazine and was written by Gerd Volberg).
Procedure to do the looping:
PROCEDURE PR_DO_THE_LOOP IS
nNumberInOneStep NUMBER:=2;
tm               TIMER;
BEGIN
     DEFAULT_VALUE(0, 'GLOBAL.INDEX');
IF :GLOBAL.INDEX=0 THEN
     -- Didn't run yet, determine the max count
     :GLOBAL.MAX:=10000;
END IF;
LOOP
     -- Do the looping stuff
     -- Decrease counter
     nNumberInOneStep:=nNumberInOneStep-1;
     -- Increase globale counter
     :GLOBAL.INDEX:=:GLOBAL.INDEX+1;
     -- Exit conditions
     EXIT WHEN nNumberInOneStep=0;
     EXIT WHEN TO_NUMBER(:GLOBAL.INDEX)>=TO_NUMBER(:GLOBAL.MAX);
END LOOP;
-- reset index at end
IF TO_NUMBER(:GLOBAL.INDEX)>=TO_NUMBER(:GLOBAL.MAX) THEN
     :GLOBAL.INDEX:=0;
ELSE
     -- start timer for next iteration
     tm:=CREATE_TIMER('TM', 10, NO_REPEAT);
END IF;
END;The WHEN-TIMER-EXPIRED-trigger
IF :GLOBAL.INTERRUPTED='Y' THEN
     MESSAGE('Interrupted at index ' || :GLOBAL.INDEX);
ELSE
     PR_DO_THE_LOOP;
END IF;The WHEN-BUTTOn-PRESSED-trigger on the interrupt-button
:GLOBAL.INTERRUPTED:='Y';The WHEN-BUTTOn-PRESSED-trigger on the "start"-button
:GLOBAL.INTERRUPTED:='N';
PR_DO_THE_LOOP;

Why i need to press the push button twice to complete my action?

in my Push Button at WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger I wrote this code:
===================================
FORMS_DDL('CREATE TABLE DEMO (DEMO_ID NUMBER ENCRYPT USING ''AES256'' NO SALT NULL, DEMO_DATE DATE ENCRYPT USING ''AES256'' NO SALT NOT NULL)');
FORMS_DDL('CREATE UNIQUE INDEX DEMO_PK ON DEMO(DEMO_ID)');
FORMS_DDL('ALTER TABLE DEMO ADD (CONSTRAINT DEMO_PK PRIMARY KEY (DEMO_ID))');
FORMS_DDL('alter system set wallet open identified by "zaq1xsw2"');
INSERT INTO demo VALUES (84,SYSDATE);
COMMIT;
FORMS_DDL('ALTER SYSTEM SET WALLET CLOSE');
Message('Thanks for buying our program.');
Message('Thanks for buying our program.');
Go_item('DEPT.DEPTNO');
Replace_content_view('WINDOW1','CANVAS4');
===================================
but I need to press in it twice - two times - to execute the code above.
The Question is : why the code doesn't execute from first press ?

Here are some questions which should help us to help you if you provide detailed answers. Please also provide any other details which may help to illustrate the problem.
1. What is the complete Forms version you are using? Please provide the version number and not the marketing name. A version number looks like this: 10.1.2.3.0 or this 9.0.4.3.0
2. Are you running the form (the client) on the local machine or are you accessing it via something like Citrix, Desktop Sharing, etc?
3. Are you running Forms in a virtual machine (e.g. VMware, Virtual Box, etc)?
4. If you are using Forms 9.x or newer, what is the JRE or Oracle Jinitiator version you are using to run the form on the client?
5. If you are using Forms 9.x or newer, what is the browser and version you are using to run the form on the client?
6. Does any other function within the form cause the same odd behavior? If you have not tested, do so. For example, create a button with a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger and code it to perform multiple tasks. Do you find that you have to click it more than once?

Push Button look and feel

Hi,
I am using forms 10g
I have a requirement to make the look and feel of the push button like a hyperlink.
Basically the button background should merge with the canvas background and text should appear on the canvas.
I have to use push buttons only as i have a require setting mouse navigate property for the buttons to function correctly.
I tried using image instead of buttons but image does not have mouse navigate property.
kindly reply as this is becoming a show stopper fr the proposed look and feel in the current project.
Edited by: user3067156 on May 4, 2010 6:01 AM

One use case for setting mouse navigate property to yes is mentioned in this link
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_as_10g/bi/forms/formsmasterdetailobe.htm
When Mouse Navigate is No, Form Builder does not perform navigation to the item when the end user activates it with the mouse. For example, a mouse click in a button or check box is not treated as a navigational event.
Form Builder fires any triggers defined for the button or check box (such as When-Button-Pressed), but the input focus remains in the current item.
When Mouse Navigate is Yes, Form Builder navigates to the item, firing any appropriate navigation and validation triggers on the way.
if the button performs query or cancel mouse navigate is set to No
if the button performs first ,next, commit record mouse navigate is set to Yes.

Push Button In Forms6i

hello Oracle Gurus,
I need ur help,
I have created a push button whose function is the same as the push button functions in windows explorer,i mean to say when i press the button for the first time i get the data ordered in ascending order
and when the same push button is clicked second time the same data gets
ordered in descending order,so the logic is complete,and what i want now is that," whenever the push buttons are pressed the push buttons must signify that the data is ordered in ascending and descending order as it is seen in windowsNT or windows2000 i.e when the data is in Acending Order An "Inverted 'V'" appears on the button and when the data is in descending Order An "V" appears on the button .
So How TO design Such Engraved "V" and "Inverted 'V'" on the push buttons.plz help me
Thanking u all
shiju

hi there again,
I think i solved your problem with the help of the codes below.
on the when-button-pressed trigger
declare
     st varchar2(40);
begin
     st:=get_item_property('block3.button',label);
if st='A' then
     set_item_property('block3.button',label,'V');
else
     set_item_property('block3.button',label,'A');
end if;
end;

Forms push buttons' behavior at runtime

Hi
I would like to imitate the push buttonâs appearance & behavior like all built-in buttons in Oracle.
i.e.: when the mouse enters the button the button is raised and when mouse leaves the button is flattened.
Any ideas are appreciated.
Regards
Tony S. Garabedian

Hi Grant
Thanks for the reply, yeah that will help me since i want to do that too, i have 2 different sizes from the same icon and when the mouse enters the icon changes, just like the OEM buttons.
But i also wanna try the 'raise button' effect, it will be very nice to have a customized toolbar with that effect. I'll try it and post my results.

archive_jini=f90all_jinit.jar,images.jar
( here I even tried Flip flopping the two values. The Jinitior part wored but the image still does not show.)
4. Saved the file , started the listner and ran the test form.
5. Named the Icon file name to Aflist (no extensions)
DOES NOT WORK.
Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Help.
Many thanks in Advance.
