Simulate "When button pressed" condition

I created a button a page (in region position).
When I go to the Edit page for the button, the Optional URL Redirect section says "No target".
I have a After Submit process on the page that has its "When button pressed" condition set to that button.
Now, before firing the process, I would like to popup a Javascript confirm box that checks some value on the page and if it is ok, it submits the page
So, I went to the URL redirect section on the button and changed the target to URL and specified the following URL
javascript:{if (document.getElementById('SOME_ELEMENT').value=='foo' || confirm('Are you sure?')) doSubmit('BUTTON_NAME');}
Now, what change do I need to make to the After Submit process to simulate the 'When Button Pressed' condition? Or would it automatically know that the submit was (indirectly, via the doSubmit) due to the button being pressed and accordingly fire?
Hope I explained this clearly.
Thanks

Actually, I didnt need to change anything in my After Submit process. I still had it execute with no conditions and a 'When Button Pressed' of BUTTON_NAME and it worked fine! I didnt need to use the REQUEST value anywhere.
Is this just a co-incidence, did I get lucky or is this the way things are supposed to work?
javascript:{if (document.getElementById('SOME_ELEMENT').value=='foo' || confirm('Are you sure?')) doSubmit('BUTTON_NAME');}
Or would it automatically know that the submit
was (indirectly, via the doSubmit) due to the
button being pressed and accordingly fire?The answer to my question above would seem to be "yes". Is that right?
Thanks

When button pressed: Multiple buttons

Regarding the 'When Button pressed' condition available in various places (computations, branches, processes, etc), it offers me the option to select exactly one button.
How can I make it so that I want the thing to fire when either Button 1 or 2 or 3 is pressed?
Thanks

Martin - Whenever a page is submitted with a button, the request value is set to a property from the button, either the button name for standard buttons or the request value attribute for item buttons. In either a PL/SQL expression condition or in some of the declarative condition types that look at the request value, you can compare it to a list of values that you're interested in.
Note that the request value doesn't necessarily tell you which button was pressed. It tells you that some event set the request value. If your page can be submitted with a tab or with javascript that you put somewhere on the page, or if you've given multiple buttons the same request value, it's up to you to prevent ambiguity about the button-to-request mapping.

Error -- No Such Trigger('when-button-pressed')

Hi,
I am getting the error ""No Such Trigger('when-button-pressed')"",
when I am executing the code EXECUTE_TRIGGER( 'WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED' );
on some item(Key-Next-Item), although WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger exists.
What could be the problem ?. It worked till yesterday, giving error from today, I havent
changed any thing.
Thanks in Advance
Devender

Steve's tip is the only good solution for this case.
The problem in your case for example is:
Let's say you have a block-trigger, which fires after your execute-trigger.
Now a colleague of you, which don't know your code, create a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED on an item, then the new code is started and not the block-trigger-code.
So, don't ever do this. Write your code in a package-function or -procedure and call it from the trigger. So you can re-user the functionality

How can I call my chart in Forms6i on When Button Press Trigger?

Hi Friends,
I have make a chart in Graphic Builder 6i and save on path C:\graph\test.ogd
Now I want to run this Chart from Form6i on When Button Press trigger.
I have call my report in forms using this command on When Button Press trigger.
Run_Product(reports,'C:\Cheema\Qdir_store\reports\pmms\sec_backlog',asynchronous,runtime,filesystem,TO_CHAR(NULL));
So tell me How can I call my chart in Forms6i?
Please reply me on urgent.
Thanks,
Shahzad

Just to recall after a long break of couple of years..... Pls check out if not wrong.
First of all you need to embeed the chart object on your layout window and make it visible = FALSE. This is a design time work. In the button press event, show the chart object by setting the visible property = TRUE.
Note, i could not paste u the sample code as i don't have forms installation on my PC. The above states is a logic you can apply.

Looping through a table Help needed ....Forms 10g..... When Button Pressed

Hye craig, hamid, christian and all ...........
i have a user access interface which i create where there are two fields username and password and a button,
i have also created a table USERS for users which have username and password fields ..... On useraccess interface i coded on WHEN BUTTON PRESSED like this
declare
go_block('users');
execute_query;
declare
begin
     if :useraccess.username=:users.username and
          :useraccess.password=:users.password then
          go_block('MAINPAGE');
          else
          go_block('USERACCESS');
          MESSAGE('SORRY WRONG PASSWORD OR NOT A REGISTERED USER');
          MESSAGE('SORRY WRONG PASSWORD OR NOT A REGISTERED USER');
          end if;
end;
This code works for a single user in USERS table but for multiple users there has to be some looping system
which matches the USERACCESS and USERS tables fields thoroughly ....

Hi Majid,
I can suggest you a workaround for this. raise a ON-LOGON trigger and you can use the LOGON_SCREEN builtin to flash the logon screen at runtime. And then try capturing the username and password.
DECLARE
connected BOOLEAN := FALSE;
tries     NUMBER := 3;
un        VARCHAR2(30);
pw        VARCHAR2(30);
cs        VARCHAR2(30);
BEGIN
SET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(CURSOR_STYLE, 'DEFAULT');
WHILE connected = FALSE and tries > 0
LOOP
    LOGON_SCREEN;
    un := GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY( USERNAME );
    pw := GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY( PASSWORD );
    cs := GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY( CONNECT_STRING );
    LOGON( un, pw || '@' || cs, FALSE );
    IF FORM_SUCCESS
    THEN
      connected := TRUE ;
    END IF;
    tries := tries - 1;
END LOOP;
IF NOT CONNECTED THEN
    MESSAGE('Too many tries!');
    RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE ;
END IF;
END ;   a sample piece of coding to help you out.

Requerying in WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED

Hi,
I have two forms. I have a button that opens up modal form 2 from form 1 and passes some parameters. I allow the user to update something in form 2 (which has an effect on form 1). When user exits form 2, I want to requery the block in form 1 so that any updates effected in form 2 can be visible.
I tried putting in a do_key('execute_query') in the WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger in form 1 after the call to open form 2. This had no effect (probably because it didn't get called when I expected it to). The only way I am able to get the new data (after an update in form 2) is to manually issue a requery in form 1.
Any suggestions would be deeply appreciated!
Thanks,
Niranjan

Hi Niranjan
Put the Execute_query in the when-new-form-instance of the Called form.
With Regards

Ticker bean and WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger

Hi,
In Forms 6i, I use the Ticker bean. The problem with it, is that it appears on all canevas of my form.
But if the bean is "stopped" (i.e. the clock is stopped), it works fine and it does not appear on the next canevas I show.
However, I must have a button for the "stop" and another one that shows my next canevas. If I put the two code lines in the same WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger of a unique button, the ticker bean is still visible in the new canevas.
Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Olivier.

Olivier,
I think I remember having heard of this before. The reason for this could be that the ticker bean uses AWT classes, which are heavyweight. All you can try is to call
synchronize;
between starting and stopping the ticker if using one button only. If this doesn't help, then I don't know of any other solution that could work.

FRM-40732 ORA-06502 in when button pressed triger

I Have a the code below in when button pressed
If :block1.text_item is not null Then
:control.title := :block1.text_item
end if;
go_block('block2);
Here the when button-button-pressed unhandled exception Frm-40735 Ora-06502 appears. I know this may be because of datatype problem, but how would I know the culprit item. The form allow the user to save the data. Am using forms 6i 10G database.

Can check the maximum length of :control.title
It seems that it can handle the amount of data you are assigning to it

Frm-40735 when-button-pressed trigger raised unhandled exception ora-03114

hi everybody,
i am using oracle 10g release 2 in my test server and 10g release 1 in production server with forms in 10g running through the oracle 10g application server with no problem with our production server.
but the same form when i try to use through the same application server for my
with my test database server which is oracle 10g release 2 is giving me
frm exceptions and disconnecting the session.
like i get frm-40735 when-button-pressed trigger raised unhandled exception
ora-03114. then frm-40655 sql error forced rollback;clear form and reenter transaction. then when i try to exit it shows ora-24324 service handle not initialized.
The same thing when i try with my production server i dont get any exception handle error or forced rollback error.
i am not facing any problem as such to connect to my test database(release 2)
through sql plus client or TOAD OR ENTERPRISE MANAGER THEY ARE ALL FINE. IT IS ONLY WHEN I GO THROUGH THE APPLICATION SERVER TO ACCESS MY FORMS I GET THIS ERROR. BUT MY PRODUCTION IS RUNNING THE SAME WAY WITH NO ERRORS.
any suggestions welcome as i have to bring release 2 in the production next month
thanks and regards
manish

ORA-03114 not connected to ORACLE
Cause: A call to Oracle was attempted when no connection was established. Usually this happens because a user-written program has not logged on. It may happen if communication trouble causes a disconnection. In addition, this message could occur when ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION or ALTER SYSTEM DISCONNECT SESSION were issued with the IMMEDIATE qualifier because, in those cases, the client's connection to the database is terminated without waiting for the client to issue a request.
Action: Try again. If the message recurs and the program is user written, check the program.

FRM-40735: WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-04063

Hi experts,
This problem as titled happened to me recently, and i found no way out.
I collected the FRD information, what i can get is:
GMDRCDSG, 11, Prog Unit, Entry, 361120504, /XGMDSRCHGMD_BASIC_SEARCH_PKG/INIT_GROUP
Unhandled Exception ORA-04063
State Delta:
Error Message: FRM-40735: WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-04063.
ON-ERROR Trigger Fired:
Form: GMDRCDSGORA-04063 means some database object is broken, but this information does not specify exactly which
object it is . I thought it is caused by GMD_BASIC_SEARCH_PKG, which is programmed in GMDSRCH.pll.
So i recompiled the pld file, but didn't work.
The further action i took is to find out all the invalid package/package body in database, and recompile them.
Unfortunately, this also didn't work.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance:)
