Why FONT Parameters at SET_CANVAS_PROPERTY Built-in doesn't work with me ?

after I had a look for the SET_CANVAS_PROPERTY Built-in References :-
http://www.oracle.com/webapps/online-help/forms/10g/topics/f1_help/builts/setcspro.html?tp=true
I made a Push button at content canvas and within this code on it , which doesn't make any change to any text at the canvas :-
SET_CANVAS_PROPERTY('FONT_CANVAS',FONT_NAME,'Comic Sans MS');
NOR
SET_CANVAS_PROPERTY('FONT_CANVAS',FONT_SIZE,40);
ALL of them :-
FONT_NAME , FONT_SIZE , FONT_SPACING , FONT_STYLE , FONT_WEIGHT
not working with me .......... I just wondering .... why ?!
I'm using DB 10gR2 , Developer Forms 32 Bit Version 10.1.2.0.2 (Production)
and Windows XP SP2 64-bit

The FONT-attributes for a canvas are for the "Tab-Titles" when using Tab-Canvases. They have nothing to do with boilerplate-texte placed on the canvas.

Set_canvas_property's different behaviour in 9i

Hi folks,
My problem is that the code under works fine in 6i but does not in 9i (10g)
set_canvas_property(canvas_id,VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE,name_in('global.qcolor'));
(It's intended to change the background color of the canvas).
I tried to use BACKGROUND_COLOR instead of VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE either color names like blue,white and rgb codes without any result.
I have about 400 forms modules have this line so I don't want to declare a visual_attribute for this (which works fine in both version) and apply all of the modules if possible.
thanks., Sandor

Hi,
We use a general canvas background color thru the whole application. There is a pre-form trigger which contains that set_canvas_property line. (The default colors of the canvas are set which differ from the color I want to apply by that set_canvas_property command.)
thank.,Sandor

11i Java Color Scheme set_canvas_property question

Hi,
I've modified the custom.pll to change a canvas color to red based on some data criteria using the set_canvas_property command. I want to set it canvas back to the original color when they create a new record. My question is how can I programmatically figure out what the default color format is to change it back?
It seems that I should use fnd_profile.value but I'm not clear how I can use this. The system profile for Java Color Scheme is blank for site, application, responsibility, and user.
Thanks in advance,
Lisa

Saving forms data in a text file

hi guys,
is it possible to save current forms data in a file just before commiting it into database and flushing out??????
2ndly is it possible to take out the print of current form without printing its background(canvas or background pics etc) coz its very time consuming & expensive if u simply take out the print of a form while using a Dot-Matrix Printer.

You can change the background color of the canvas to white before you print:
Set_canvas_property('CANVAS0',background_color,'r255g255b255');

if name_in('system.cursor_block') = 'XX_ERROR_MANAGEMENT' then
if not form_success then
-- Revert tab to prior value and exit
set_canvas_property('CAN_INT',topmost_tab_page,name_in('system.tab_previous_page'));

show_view(target_canvas_name);
end if;
END IF;
END;

Change Background_Color with set_*_property doesn´t work with NLS_LANG UTF8

Hi @all,
we changed our forms from we8iso8859p1 to utf8 and now we noticed that changing of background colors from canvases, items etc don´t work anymore.
I tried set_canvas_property, set_va_property, set_item_property.
When I start the form with NLS_LANG: GERMAN_GERMANY.WE8ISO8859P1 changing the colors works.
When I start the form with NLS_LANG: GERMAN_GERMANY.UTF8 changing the color don´t work.
We use Forms Version 6.0.8.11.3.
Are there any workarounds to change the colors when nls is set to utf8?
Thanks

Hi,
I discovered following:
- if name of OU in AD is without space (e.g. test,sample) so DN record is test\,sample and user is moved into this OU.
- if name of OU in AD is with space (e.g. test, sample) so DN record is still test\,sample and user isn't moved.
So problem is with empty space. How can I preserve space in DN name? I found something in documentation but I doesn't work for me.
+Special Characters in FieldValues
If you have a field value with a comma (,) or double quote (") character, or you want to preserve leading or trailing spaces, you must embed your field value within a pair of double quotes ("field_value"). You then need to replace double quotes in the field value with two double quote (") characters. For example, "John ""Johnny"" Smith" results in a field value of John "Johnny" Smith. +
(from IDM Business Administrator's Guide, p.77)
Guided this information I put value of slctOrganizationalUnitUzivatele into "". But this didn't work. Is good idea to have space in DN?
Thanks for help.

About Visual Attributes

1.can we create visual attributes dynamically like record groups.
2.In forms there is any bulit in which gives the RGB format of particular color,i want to change background color at runtime.
set_canvas_property(:system.mouse_canvas,BACKGROUND_COLOR,'darkred');
how i can change the background color of canvas at runtime.
thank's in advance

Though you can not create the va at runtime, if you know the possible combinations or may be 10 visual attributes, u can create in the form and set it dynamically at run time. (set_item_property )
Having said that you can not have any Visual attribute for a canvas. You can have only property class. VA is for text items... PC can not be set at run time.

Canvas background via Java

Is there a way to set the background color of a canvas via Java. I am using FocusLost and FocusGained to change the background color of textfields to be able to better show where the cursor is on a form. I have a couple of forms that have multiple canvases showing at the same time and the user wants the canvas color to change when the cursor is in a field on that canvas.
Is there a focus event associated with a canvas? Is there a way to control the canvas color via Java?

Hi Dave,
Is there a reason you don't use SET_CANVAS_PROPERTY(BACKGROUND_COLOR, ...)?
In Java on the client, the canvas is not one of the objects we expose. However you can do what you want in Java and using some getParents() to get to the canvas, and then do a setBackground() on that. But note that this isn't supported, and the hierarchy could change at any time...

How to change Content canvas size during run time?

Hi All,
I am using oracle 10g web forms and opening in Separate Frame. When I re-size the MID window, I want to change Content canvas size to window size. Is it possible to change content canvas size at run time? Even after using following statement it is not working.
set_canvas_property('content_can', WIDTH, 200 );
set_canvas_property('content_can', HEIGHT, 100 );
Please help me.
Regrads

Francois,
Yes, I have used messages, when get the current values (after setting new values) it shows right one but on the screen it is not accurate because
it is going beyond the window size and it adding scroll bars. I am using window W&H minus some numbers. When I look at the help it says size in characters. How to set the Content canvas size in characters?
Is it possible to change the Content Canvas size in Run time? Please help me.
Regards.

Regarding Creating Horizontally moving tabbed canvas at runtime

Hi..
Is it possible to create a Horizontal dynamically
moving Tabbed Canvas.
I want to move the particular tab page of the tabbed
canvas horizonatlly during runtime by placing a
horizontal scroll bar.
Could anyone tell me how it in can be done with steps?
Plz reply me asap it is urgent.
Thanks & Regards,
Venkatesan.S

Mmm
Let's see.. there are two tips:
- 1st: modify canvas length dinamically
- 2nd: put the scroll bar to the block into the canvas
Solutions:
- 1st: Use the set_canvas_property built-in (with WITDH parameter)
- 2nd: There are no problems to put an hoprizontal scrollbar associated to the block you're viewing into the page of your tabbed canvas
(To manage the scroll bar.. Have a look at set_block_property built-in)

Jose L.
