Show Content and Stacked canvas?

Hello to all,
I have a very simple form:
- 1 datablock
- 1 window
- 2 canvas: the main (content) and a stacked one with all the items.
- I want to have a multirecord view.
As I have lots of items... and I need to show all of them in a specific format (all in the same line), I need to add an horizontal bar. That's why I added the stacked canvas to my form.
In my block properties I've added a vertical scrollbar (it's the only item in the main canvas)...
The idea is to show in the same window the horizontal and vertical scrollbars...
but.. I don't know why.. when I run the form I only see the stacked canvas with the items...
Any idea?
I'm sure it's an easy question.. but.. :-P
Thanks.

hi
try something like this.
GO_BOCK('BLOCK.ITEM_NAME');
HIDE_CANVAS('CANVAS_NAME');
SHOW_CANVAS('CANVAS_NAME');sarah

Tab-Canvas and Stacked-Canvas (Forms 5.0)

Is it possible to design a tab canvas that contains stacked-canvas? I can't create it!

Yes - it is possible to design a tab canvas that contains stacked-canvas. Create a separate canvas with its own block and you can call go_block and the canvas/block will show. You can also call show_view but the canvas you call must be of the type stacked. (aside - a tab canvas seems to automatically act like a stacked canvas). I have used a canvas w/block that sits at the top of the screen by setting it to be only 60 points tall (and it is the first block in the list) then in a when-new-form-instance trigger I call show_view('tab canvas name') and have its viewport begin at 60, therefore the tab canvas fits right under the header canvas. You can then leave this to call other canvases/blocks and return and set up the same situation again. Sometimes I have gotten strange results where no matter what I do it will not show the tab canvas - at this point usually you recreate what won't show and it will then work.
good luck.

IDVD project info doesnt show content and wont burn properly

I am using iDVD 6 on a macbook. have successfully burned DVD's using iDVD in the past and now here is the deal I cant resolve. My imovie is first in DVD map and it is looped. It plays fine when played from this and other locations. I go to project info and it is .8GB for a 26 minute video on the DVD capacity.(which doesnt seem right.) When I burn it, it goes thru the paces and kicks out the DVD and it says current operation-done. In previous projects it has asked me if I would like to burn another copy. I press cancel and it says "cleaning up" and I end up force quitting iDVD. What am I doing wrong this time. i aprreciate any help, im racking my brain for hours. Thanks.

Setting VIEWPORT_X_POS hide the stack canvas

In Forms 6i i use the next command:
set_view_property(l_canvas_stack_name, VIEWPORT_X_POS, l_canvas_stack_x_pos);
when the l_canvas_stack_x_pos > 0 (in my case = 175).
But instead of move it to different x position the command hide the canvas (its disappear from window).
What can be a problem?

Hi
If i try the code you modify i see only stack canvas on the window without content canvas.okey that's what i explaned previously u can comment the
-- Hide_canvas ('canvas_name');
it can't be used in When-New-Form-Instance because i as said it hides the main basic content canvas.But it will only shows the the content + Stacked and set the cursor focus in ur stacked
The procedure repaint items on the content and stack canvas according to user definition of items orders (its change item's x position and width).sorry but i can't imagine could u give me an example pls.
what i got is...
The user supposed to define items orders u mean in a store application or the oreder of items from a,b,c to say c,a,b according to what i don't know.
There a missing link here ...
Its complicate code. If you need i will post it here.i don't understand the concept or the bussiness may be i exactly can't recognize what is the problem any way here is an example that may help u...
DECLARE
vw_id ViewPort;
BEGIN
vw_id := Find_View('Sales_Summary');
Set_View_Property(vw_id, VIEWPORT_X_POS, 30);
Set_View_Property(vw_id, VIEWPORT_Y_POS, 5);
END; Hope theis helps...

Problem with Stacked Canvas

Hi,
I have prepared a stacked canvas on a content canvas.
Both content and stacked canvas are based on the same data block. In the data block 2 items are on content canvas and the remaining are on stacked canvas. I have also a scroll bar on the content canvas so that we can scroll to the right as there are many items on it.
so 1st and 2nd fields are on the content canvas and remaining ones are on stacked canvas.when i tab out of the 1st field stacked canvas goes invisible, but when i tab out of the 2nd field stacked canvas again comes back.
How can i avoid this?
I want the stacked canvas always to be displayed when i tab out from any where.
One more problem is, when i click on the 2nd field the stacked canvas goes invisible too
Your suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Sandeep

Check if the second item overlaps the area of the stacked canvas. Forms always makes the current item be displayed fully and therefore hides all areas which would overlap the item.

Vertical Scroll in stacked canvas

Dear all,
I got the following challange:
On my form I have 1 content and 1 stacked canvas. Items are from 1 datablock. 1 item is displayed on content canvas, the other items from the datablock are on the stacked canvas. Items are displayed in multirow mode, stacked canvas has a horizontal scrollbar, item labels are dispayed (on content and stacked canvas).
Vertical scrolling works fine in the Forms Builder test environment (C/S), but when the form runs on the web in the applet, vertical scrolling performs as follows:
If the input focus is in the column on the content canvas, it works fine. But if the input focus is in a column on the stacked canvas and an item in the last row (during scrolling down) gets the input focus, the content of the stacked canvas is shifted up to the upper border, so that the column headers and the first line of the viewport isn't displayed and there is an offset of the records displayed on the canvases.
Has anyone experience with this behaviour, any ideas or a workaround?
Many thanks in advance
Stefan

I have seen that too, with tab canvas, which is like a stacked canvas.
On mine, it occurs after a clear_form and synchronize, but before I execute any queries (there are multiple blocks and queries).
So what I added was this, following the Synchronize:
Declare
Tab_View_id Viewport := Find_View('TAB');
Begin
if get_view_property(Tab_View_id,Visible) = 'FALSE' then
show_view(Tab_View_id);
end if;
End;I actually put the Tab_View_ID variable into a package spec, so Forms only needs to set it once.
If you can't find the right place to add the code, a form-level when-new-item-instance trigger will work.

Stacked canvas view placed on the content canvas

Hi to all,
i am developed a one form ,i.e placed the stacked canvas view on the content convas.
i create a two data block's with same table.
one data block for content canvas and one for stacked canvas.
in the content canvas i taken two fileds with scroll bar and remaining fields placed on the stacked canvas.
these stacked canvas view put on the content canvas.it dispalying and
executed succesfully.
here i am getting one problem i am displying the 10 records at a time in both canvases.my requirment is placed on the
cursor on the content canvas particular record scroll down then automatically show the same record details in stacked canvas and
content canvas scroll bar is changed automatically stacked canvas scroll bar is changed.
any one help me.........

{quotei create a two data block's with same table.
one data block for content canvas and one for stacked canvas.{quote}
This is not necessary. Just create one data block and then assign the block items to your Content and Stacked canvases. You can display items in a data block on different canvases. By doing this, there is no need to write code to synchronize the records because they are part of the same data block so they will automatically scroll as you navigate through your records.

Bridge CS6 (64bit) - on Windows 8.1 pro Freezes and it delays showing content while opening

I have been using Bridge/Photoshop without any incident. But recently when I open Bridge it takes too long to show content and If I double click on a folder or photo It freezes showing in the bar above - not responding. After some seconds it goes back to life. I have not installed any software. I have the program installed in the C Hard Drive, the Photos and the Cache in different Hard Drives with plenty of space (WD - Black Series). I have also checked the hard drives just in case but are OK. Any guess???? Thank you

A month ago I uninstalled AVG Internet security from my computer making it a lot less potent to BSODs in general, (can't reacall having any.) So today I thought I'd try to learn some more Audition. I could Sit with it for a good while just playing around with recordings and settings and my system didn't react weirdly at all. So the next step was of course to try and load some of the Udemy lectures I had waiting.
As the video was buffering I turned away from the computer for a while, but when I came back it had completely froze up again... I don't think I've ever had a BSOD in this context either, instead of going into BSOD the computer just stops responding completely.
(I'm using the latest version of Flash, tried with both Firefox and Chrome.)
I'm thinking this is a very niche bug and I can't seem to se that it can be anything but a conflict with Flash. Weither it's a memory leek or what ever it is.
I can use Audition fine on my computer it seems, as long as I never start a browser in risk of loading a Flash application, (which would be fine if I was avid, but I need some lectures to get started.)
Nothing really seems to be overloaded (RAM/CPU) before the freeze ocurs either.
I don't really know where or how to adress this to the Flash Player forum/community, (or if there is one.)
Thanks.

Stacked canvas as a tab element

I am working on a form say 'A'. In this form, I have a tabbed canvas 'B' with 4 tabs.
I created another stacked canvas 'C' on which there are elements from 3 different blocks. Now I need to make this stacked canvas as an element of tab2 in canvas 'B'. I.e., if the user clicks on the tab2 of canvasB, it should show the stacked canvas C below the tab.
How can I do this?
Thanks,
Chiru

It is not possible to define stacked canvas for a tab canvas.
To avoid such circumstances,
in pre-form, you write
HIDE_VIEW('STACKED_CANVAS');
SHOW_VIEW('TAB_CANVAS');
If tab canvas is not showing up, set the fol. property
raise on entry : yes
viewport x and y position to 0
and try runing ,
if the tab canvas is showing up, gradually return to the required position
else check for any hide_view(tab_canvas) code in your form.
or you can reduce the height of content canvas to view tab canvas. Check the window name of content and tab canvas is same.
And in when tab page changed, you write for each tab page name
IF :SYSTEM.TAB_NEW_PAGE='PAGE2' THEN
go_item('some item in tab page 2');
SHOW_VIEW('STACKED_CANVAS');
ELSIF :SYSTEM.TAB_NEW_PAGE='PAGE1'
go_item('some item in tab page 1');
HIDE_VIEW('STACKED_CANVAS');
END IF;
Why that go-item is required?
Suppose your cursor is in an item in the stacked canvas, and if you click on page 1, The stack canvas wont disappear.

I appreciate the overlap issue and mentioned it in my first response, and I expect that changing the size or positon of the item or canvas is the most appropriate solution. Without knowing the full requirements I left an incomplete response, thinking that a dialogue would get the problem fixed. I don't think it's right to suggest navigating to the canvas as the only solution, omitting other possible solutions. My first response could have been better though.
I never suggested that navigation to the canvas is The Only Solution I have always said and in many posts that: "+Beauty of Oracle is that you can reach the same result in 100s and 1000s of ways+" You can have 100s solutions for the same problem.
No one is omitting any other solutions, You mentioned the overlapping issue in your first post asking the OP if that was the case, I merely explained to the OP why that happens, assuming if the OP knew about the overlapping issue, he/she would have solved the problem, and my second post was in response on your comments.
It is not a must to navigate to an item that resides on the stacked canvas, but it's a good way to solve the overlapping issue in this case.

Calling values to a Stacked Canvas

Is there a way to pull information from different tables onto a stacked canvas? I want to be able to call this canvas from an Order form to check on the payment history of customers. I would like to grey out (disable) the text items I create on the stacked canvas so that it appears like text are directly written on the stacked canvas.

Here's another option...
Instead of the Control block that duplicates the items that you want to show on the stacked canvas, you can just duplicate the item in whatever block it is in. Give the item a different name, set the "Synchronize With Item" property to the actual item, make the new item a non-database item, and set the new item's canvas to your stacked canvas. Then you do need any code to copy the values. It will always be synchronized with the original item.
It isn't that much different, but you don't have the side effect of changing blocks when you navigate to the item on the stacked canvas.

Stacked canvas Issues when on the web

I have a stacked canvas whose Viewport_X_Pos is set to some values other than 0. When the canvas is run on the web, however, the canvas is pushed to the right by same amount to the left cutting the canvas. Is This a bug and if yes, is there any better work around than pushing the items in the canvas to the left to compensate? Note that the canvas behaves nice when on a client/server.

We also encountered this problem!
Sometimes we managed to fix it taking care that the stacked canvas not to interfere/overlap with any other object on the content(other stacked canvas, an item, a graphical object etc.) that hosts it.
Sometimes we could not fix it.
Hope this helps,

How to create stacked canvas

How to create stacked canvas on a content canvas in forms builder.
Please let me know if anybody has some steps or screenshots.

once you build a content canvass your next step is to create another canvass with a property canvas type of stacked. those two canvas the content and stacked should have the same property of raise on entry yes and should be on the sane window.
to force to display the stacked canvass at runtime on your Form level trigger WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE add this code
show_view('stacked_canvass');where the stacked_canvass is the name your stacked canvass. hope this helps.

Stacked canvas background color

How on earth do I get the background color of my stacked canvas to be the same as the rest of my form (the default forms grey color)? I have both my main canvas and stacked canvas on the same visual attribute, all with background & foreground colors set to unspecified (at both the canvas and visual attribute level). No matter what, the background of the stack is white. I've tried setting it at runtime, but the color is slightly different on each machine used. I've tried everything I can think of -- any ideas? Thanks.

Well the problem is that we want the background surrounding our main canvas to be white (that way the tabs up top are white too) and the form itself in the main canvas to be the default grey (that is our standard). Changing the background to gray or some other color in the visual attribute changes both the white background and the default form's grey to that one color, which doesn't really fix the problem at all. If it's left as unspecified, we get the white background and the default forms grey for the background color of the form. The stacked canvas always wants the white.
