ravi

Well, you are kind of out of luck: no horizontal scrollbar for tab canvases.
Still, here's what I did to solve this problem:
- I make a stacked canvas that would display above the tab-canvas, having an horizontal scrollbar
- on the when-tab-page-changed I write the code needed to get to show/hide the stacked canvas, depending on which tab activates.
It's not so simple, still this works.
If anyone has a better solution without using java beans or some other complications, I'd really like to know how.

Vertical scroll bar on tab page.

Hello,
I have to show vertical scrollbar on my tab canvas.
I have one Content canvas on which I have 1 tab canvas with 8 tab pages.(sec1,sec2,sec3 ..sec8)
I have another tab canvas(kind of seb section for the above and each has 3 tab pages) like
Sec1 will have (sub sectiion tab canvas) which has again 3 tab pages 1.1,1.2,1.3 and soon
now on the third tab page of the sub section or second tab canvas, I need vertical scroll bar to fit number of fields which are more than the tab canvas size.
all are from the same data block
Could you please help me. i tried by creating staked canvas but no luck.
can you please let me know the procedure to be followed
Thank you in advance.

Could you please help me. i tried by creating staked canvas but no luck.What happened when you tried to use a stacked canvas?
If the items in the area you want to scroll are all in the same datablock you can set the Scrollbar properties of the block to be displayed. This will enable scrolling of the items that are within the specific block. If you items are assembled from more than block, then using a stacked canvas is a better option for enabling scrolling within an area.
Also, what is your Forms version?

Scroll Bar on Stacked Canvas [Solved]

Hi,
I am trying to do the following. I have a form FORM A. Another form FORM B is called with a click of a button on FORM A. FORM B is having 2 blocks each on a stacked canvas. BLOCK 1 is master block and BLOCK 2 is detail block. Table on which BLOCK 2 is based on has 200 columns. Below is the property set for this block.
1. Number of Records Displayed: 1
2. Record Orientation: Vertical (To see 200 columns vertically).
Now issue is that only 20 records (columns actually) are displayed in the viewport. And user has to tab out to go to next record (column).
I want to put a vertical scroll bar here so that user can scroll down. I am not sure how to achieve this. Will scroll_view work in this case?
Forms Version: 6i
Thanks and Regards
Amit Trivedi
Never Mind got it working now.

Scroll in a tab canvas

I have a master fixed horizontal toolbar
attached to a 2 page tabbed canvas.
The first page is a detail block of say 5 records displayed vertically.
How can I add a scroll bar verically to scroll tru my columns as there are lots some 20 columns for the first tab page only.
Or is it that I should not condider using tab canvas?

You need three canvas.
1) A tab canvas as the one you have built.
2) second canvas on top of page 1 of the first one , and you built you first block with vertical scroll bar on it
2) a 3rd canvas on page 2 of the first canvas.
You should have a scroll bar with you click tab1 and hide scroll bar when you click page 2 tab.

Scroll bar and tab bar turn to images, images on a page repeat themselves

I don't know exactly how to explain my problem so I'll just give some examples.
- On youtube, video thumbnails copy themselves on top of the other video thumbnails, and sometimes I can see 2 or 3 same thumbnail, but when I hover the cursor above them they return to normal. The names or video links are unaffected, just the thumbnail.
- On facebook and some other forums, same problem exists. One thing I noticed, it doesn't affect huge files, as in it doesn't replace huge images but copies something like 200x200 image to some other place.
- Some of the tabs in tab bar and scroll bar sometimes turn into diagonal patterns, and scroll bar sometimes has the same problem I gave as example above. The grey default layer turns into an image. But hovering the cursor above it returns it to normal again.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi, thanks a lot for the support. I've found the solution!
I've checked all of the installed programs on my system. All programs are from verified publishers.
Actual problem was with graphic drivers. My laptop is Sony Vaio and therefore I had the recommended latest drivers (for my graphic card) available from Sony website installed. The graphic card is from NVIDIA GeForce. So, don't know why but I uninstalled all graphic drivers from the system and downloaded the latest drivers available for my graphic card hardware from NVIDIA website. Now the new latest drivers from NVIDIA solved the problem !!! Firefox is working perfect. No problem on any website.
May be the same can work for other Firefox users also having this problem. No need to disable "hardware acceleration when available" in Firefox.
Happy !!!! :D :D

How to create 2 scroll bar in 2 canvas

Hello All,
I will appreciate if somebody knows how to create 2 scroll bars in 2 Content canvases and all items text item belongs to one data block.
In data block property it shows only one scroll bar. Their is no property of scroll bar in canvas.
Regards,
Atif

Go to the layout editor.
Take the Stacked canvas tool in the toolbox
draw a stacked canvas on the content canvas (the stacked can could be larger than the content one)
edit you item properties to display on the content canvas
adjust the window to the same width and weight properties than the content canvas.
The simplest way it to use the datablock wizard to create the data block, then indicate to show items not on the content canvas but the stacked canvas.

Adding a scroll bar to tabbed panel content?

I have set a specific height to tabbed panels and I don't
want them to expand according to content. Instead I want to add a
scroll bar to the tabbed panels. How can i do this?

Sure it's possible.
Edit the TabbedPanelsContent class in the CSS file.
Add a specific height to it and then add an overflow:auto;
rule to it.
.TabbedPanelsContent {
padding: 4px;
overflow: auto;
height: 200px;
When styling Spry Widgets, for the most part, just think of
them as HTML. Add a height and a scrollbar just as you would to any
DIV.
Hope this helps,
Don

Scrollbar for Tab canvas

The scrollbar works for tab canvases as well as content canvases. Not sure what you mean by "remains inactive even the layout goes beyond the window".

Scrolling Tab Canvas

Hi,
how do we achieve horizontal scroll in a tab canvas ? It doesnt allow to place a stacked canvas on a Tab canvas. Do we have to put a content canvas on top of a tab and then place stacked on top of content ?
Regards,
Suresh

its simple
- Create Stack canvas simple separately without any canvas with all necessary items buttons etc etc SET its X and Y position according to the visibility with the Tab page
- on tab page there should not be any item
- Write on WHEN-TAB-PAGE-CHANGED trigger at form level call that stack canvas
Note: i dont remember exact system variable name right now :D :system.new_tab_page check online help
if :system.new_tab_page = 'MYPAGE' then
      go_block('Myblock');
      hide_all_views; --- custom procedure to hide all other stack canvases
      show_view('MyStack');
end if;- For ease u can set the same name of the stack canvas as tab page and block name if possible then the code would be simple
   go_block(:system.new_tab_page);
   hide_all_views;
   show_view(:system.new_tab_page);

Scroll Bar in forms 6i

I have the following requirement-
to create a form based on table columns of a customized table as per bissuness requirement and register it onto oracle apps 11i. the table has around 80 columns. so horizontal scroll bar is required to scroll thru all the columns. and it is also required to display 10 records when the form opens. so vertical scroll bar is required to scroll through the records.
i tried lots of combinations like - seting show scroll bar - yes, scroll bar orientation - vertical on the DataBlock property pellet. and show horizontal scroll bar on the canvas property pellet. the canvas i created from the Datablock is a stacked canvas only.
please suggest if i am missing anything, as scroll bar is never showing up. neither vertical nor horizontal. atleast m able to see the vertical scroll bar on the canvas layout editor. but its not coming on the Apps Forms window.
Please Help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hi Sam,
1. Create your main canvas Type will be CONTENT.
2. Draw a stack canvas over it
3. Set the Viewport width and height property of the stack canvas to visible area (Press F4 by selecting it or Right click Properties in Object Navigator).
4. Set the Canvas Width so u can put all your field in that canvas.
5. Set the Horizontal or Vertical scroll bar property of the Stack canvas.
Note: Canvas width and viewport width both are different things. Viewport is the visible area of the canvas

[FYI] FRM-92101 and scroll bar and form crash

Forms 6i
Windows 2k for app server.
I have just spent three hours figuring out why I was getting a FRM-92101 when I deployed a form from my development app server to my test app server. Noted that the development server has patch 18 and uses cgi, not sure what patch the test server has but it uses servlet. Anyway the form worked perfectly on the dev server but would crash out with the error on entry in the form on the test server. Eventually I found the solution to be a scroll bar on a block, get rid of the scroll bar from the canvas and voila it worked. Ended up having to place the scroll bar on a stacked canvas to get it to work on the test server. I have already had to deal with a palette issue and those dark pink colours on deployment. Developed for a while on visual studio and never came across such annoying quirks as these.

I use XP to develop so I was compiling it there and then copying it across to both servers. Should I compile forms on the app server where they are going to be served or have I picked you up correctly?
Kind regards

Future support for Scroll Bar Events?, Any workarounds?

I am wondering whether there is an intention to add scroll bar
events to Forms. These would be incredibly useful in a number of
situations ie
1) You have a window with two stacked canvases. One contains
items in a tabular MR block style. It has a horizontal scroll
bar. When the user scrolls this view, I want to move another
stacked canvas by the scrolled amount, to keep it in synch with
the underlying items.
2) Similar problem for block scroll bars. In a MR block, I have
a list item on a stacked canvas, that I reposition over the the
current record. This is acheived by writing a When-New-record-
Instance trigger. Unfortunately, when the user scrolls with the
scroll bar, the stacked canvas obviously doesn't move.
The only solution I have found is to use timers, which is very
messy

Hello,
This is a well-known issue with this code, as you can see in the thread you copied the code from.
In the following post, Laura is presenting an IE only solution, based on a different code I wrote - Re: How to implement fixed column headers . Cross browser solution is yet to be found.

Some Java-based websites missing vertical scroll bar

Web site (http://www.addictinggames.com/dailyjigsaw.html) loads with no vertical scroll bar.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Hi
Do you have 3rd party Glims installed? If so, make sure you have the latest version (v 20).
I used to see the scroll problem more frequently. I haven't of late. Never determined what causes it, however older versions of Glims (since it alters Safari functions) may be one possible cause.
Only workaround I've seen is to quit the tab in question, then reopen another tab and reload the page missing the scroll bar. Tabs ought to appear.
If you don't have 3rd party add-ons, send feedback to Apple via the Safari Menu>Report Bugs to Apple.
