Java-style buttons in Oracle Forms 6i

Hey there,
Does anyone know how to create buttons with curved edges in Oracle Forms 6i? Something like those Swing components in Java?
Thanks
Al

Alex,
for Forms on the web you can use PJCs. The Forms 10g demos (http://download.oracle.com/otn/other/general/forms10gdemos9_0_4_2.zip) and the Forms 9i demos have a sample Java class for this. The same solution should work in 6i as well.

Regarding date ranges in search criteria in oracle forms

I am using employee number,name, person type, and date ranges as search criteria in custom form.
when I enter employee number, hit the find button, I am getting the exact info in the result block.
Result block contains
employee name,personid,emp numb,org,start_date.
Similarly when I enter employee number,dept, I am getting correct values.
My question here is, when I enter date range. Iam unable to filter data.
When i enter START_DATE between nvl(:BLOCKNAME.START_DATE,'01-JAN-1901') and nvl(:BLOCKNAME.END_DATE,'31-DEC-4712') at where clause in the result block. I got data for the date range also.
if I give condition in the where clause, results are taking so much time when i search with employee name,number,dept,person type.
If i query with date, persormance is good.
Do u any know,how to prevent START_DATE between nvl(:BLOCKNAME.START_DATE,'01-JAN-1901') and nvl(:BLOCKNAME.END_DATE,'31-DEC-4712') when we search with employee name,number,dept,person type.

Initailly Ididnt given any code in the where clause of the result block. I got data in the result block when i search with employee name,number,person type,dept etc except date range.
If i give date range, irrespective of the date, getting all the data.
after that i added code to the where clause of the result block. Now i am getting data for everything.
like, when i query with employee name,number,even date range also.
My question here, performance.
when I query with date range, data is coming in expected time in the result block.
when i query with dept, taking much time since date range logic exist in the where clause of the result block.
I need to restrict the where clause only to the data ranges. Where clause should not necessary for employee number,name,person type dept search criteria

Search wildcard in Oracle forms

Hi ,
I want to search in Oracle forms to values containing the % charachter.
when using F11 and the % character Oracle returns all values, while I only want the query to returns the values containing the % character
How can I do this. In SQL you can do this using escape characters but in Oracle forms this doesn't seem to work?
Regards,
Jan

To set access key for push button in oracle forms 11g

Dear Team,
I have following setup:-
We are using oracle database 11gR2
Oracle Forms & reports : 11.1.2
O.S : Windows 7 Professional
We have migrated oracle forms version from 6i to 11g
In oracle forms 6i in save button's property palette we set access key as 'S', so when we press alt+S cursor move to save button, same is not working in oracle forms 11g.
What changes I have to made in new version so that after pressing alt+S cursor will move to save button.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

You will need to define your custom key map in the key mapping file you use. Typically fmrweb.res or fmrpcweb.res. Edit the file in a text editor and take a look to figure out where you need to make the change.This is wrong! The OP is talking about the Access Key (key mnemonic's) of a button. This has nothing to do with the mapping of keys in the frmweb.res, etc., files.
@parapr, You don't mention the Java version installed and you don't mention if your OS is 32-bit or 64-bit. Likely, this issue could be related to an incompatible Java version. We use Access Keys in our 11g R2 application and they work just fine. Our Java version is 1.6.0_31. If you are using Java 1.7.0 - this version is not yet certified with Oracle Forms and I would recommend you downgrade to 1.6.0 (latest version).

Edited by: 911229 on Mar 10, 2012 11:00 PM

now iam making search and update form.on material code item i have WHEN-MOUSE-CLICK-TRIGGER and calling LOV and displaying record. Please show us your code! It sounds like you are adding the found record to your block manually rather than letting Forms query the record. Consquently, Forms will recognize this as a new record instead of an existing record and will attempt an INSERT rather than an UPDATE. Again, please show us your code so we can better help you.

How to create dynamic 'rack drawings' with Oracle forms

Hallo, I work for a telecom company.
We have used Oracle Forms and Reports from the beginning and we are now on version 10.2 but upgrading til 11.2.
I got a request to make 'dynamic rack drawings' to display what equipment are located in what racks.
The suggestion is to calculate coordinates(position, height) and send it to our GIS-system to do the dynamic drawing bit.
The 'drawing' is just simple boxes with various height with a name in it to mark different types of equipment.
So my question is... How should we draw these boxes dynamically to display our racks including the equipment installed there?
Something like this With a header and a footer.
1          XXXXXX-12                         1
2                                                  2
3         yyyyyy-32                          3
4                                                  4
5           zzzz-11                           5
6                                                  6
40                                               40

I wouldn't do the drawing part in Forms. Luckily there are Java Beans available in Webforms which you could use to visualize your data in a more complex way.
For more informations on Java Beans and how they are used in Forms google gives you a good impression
