Long canvas with scroll bar

Hi. I have a form with a very long canvas containing more items than fit on the screen at a time - meaning some items are far down on the canvas and do not appear unless the user physically uses the mouse and scrolls down. This causes a problem for me because as the user tabs through the various fields the cursor will eventually "appear" to disappear. It has not actually disappeared of course, but it has simply navigated to an item that is further down on the canvas out-of-sight. Thus the user must recognize that this has happened and then use the mouse to scroll down and find the cursor again.
Is there a way to automatically coordinate this scrolling so that the cursor always stays in view for the user - meaning that the user will never have to manually scroll down to find the cursor? Or worst case, can I programatically scroll down for the user so that the cursor always remains visible?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you have any sample code please send it to: [email protected]
Thanks in advance.

-> 3) Changed the default Window width to 5 and it's height to 12
Don't do that. That apparently guarantees the problem you have.
The Window size should be no larger than will fit on the user's screen, and the user running the lowest screen resolution should be your target. We create forms no larger than will fit on the 800x600 layout. Our forms always use the Real,Pixel coordinate system, and I create forms with the window size set to a maximum of 784x442. Those reduced numbers allow the form to fit within a browser window in web forms. Our forms run under both 6i Client/Server AND Web, and there is a pre-form that adjusts the web form window size a little larger, but that is all.
Also, when you run your form, that scrollbar you see is there because your window is not maximized. Our forms always maximize the window, and even have a when-window-resized trigger with this:
<pre><font face = "Lucida Console, Courier New, Courier, Fixed" size = "1" color = "navy">DECLARE
W0 Window := Find_Window('WINDOW0');
BEGIN
If Get_Window_Property(W0,Window_State)<>'MAXIMIZE' then
Set_Window_Property(W0,Window_State,Maximize);
End if;
END;</font></pre>
The wwr trigger ensures the user never sees the Window0 border -- it is useless unless you are running a form with multiple windows, which we never do.
So.... Maximize your Window0, and then you will see the behavior I have been describing. Create a stacked canvas with a vertical scrollbar, and it will behave even better.

Stacked canvas with horizontal scrollbar

Hi,
In a forms module I want to show a stacked canvas with a horizontal scrollbar. I have set the generator preference POPHSB on every level to yes, but the stacked canvas is still generated without scrollbar. In the Designer help topic "Generated stacked canvas properties" it is stated that the properties horizontal/vertical scrollbar is derived from the object library. But how can I set in Designer the name of an object library object for a stacked canvas? I don't want to override the object CGSO$CANVAS_POPUP because I also have other stacked canvases that doesn't need scrollbars.
Regards,
Vincent Botteman

Hi,
This is what I just have found: you must indeed create a new canvas object in the object library and then enter the name of the new canvas object in the property "Placement Template/Library Obj" of the first Module component on that canvas! Apparently, you can change the canvas by means of the first Module Component on that canvas.

Content canvas to stacked canvas for scroll bars

I have a form which has more items. Initially I developed the form with content canvas(this has vertical scroll bar). now I changed this canvas to stacked canvas to get horizontal + vertical scroll bar. But I am not able to do it. Can any one please advice me how to achieve. Basically I need horizontal + veritcal scroll, so that user can easily scroll it.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks in Advance!!

Hi
This is a common task in Oracle Applications forms, the steps would be:
- Put the context, fixed fields on content canvas, to the left of the window
- Modify the block to show vertical scroll bar, display it on content canvas, to the right of the window
- Accommodate remaining fields on stacked canvas, all of them from 0.0 to the right.
- Modify stacked canvas viewport size and position to be shown in the space between the fixed fields on the content canvas and the vertical scrollbar on it, allow for space to the horizontal scrollbar
- As Craig's answer states, modify stacked canvas property to show horizontal scrollbar

Stack Canvas Horizontal Scroll Bar

Hi There,
I'm using Forms 6i (Rel.2) and i am facing a problem with may stack canvas's horizontal scroll bar at runtime, as follows:
As I put the cursor on an Item inside the stack canvas, and try to scroll away to the left where that Item is no longer viewable, and then stop scrolling, the scroll back will jump back to that Item,so I have to press and hold the mouse on the scroll bar as long as I need to see other Items at the far end! I tried to set the "Raise on entry" property to "YES", but no success.
I tried the same in Forms 5 and it works fine with no problems at all!!!
Any suggestions?

Hi,
My colleague found out that a timer I had programmed in a calling form to show the current time was actually refreshing every one second and in doing that it was refreshing the whole view which caused it to jump back to the first item. I had to remove the timer and it's working fine now.
Thanks again,
Ali

Stacked Canvas with one block displaying twice

I have a question regarding the Stacked Canvas. I have to create a calender for clients. (I am using stacked canvas to do that).
In the 'calender' table i would have the information like ClientID, Year, weekno, start date, end date.
So i created two blocks for 'Calender' table in this form. One block for Content canvas with ClientID and Year (Block1). And another block (Block2) on Stacked canvas for weekno, startdate and enddate.(normally there will be 52 weeks sometime 53 weeks)
On the Block1 it suppose to display the ClientID and Year once. And in the block2 (stacked canvas) it suppose to display 53 rows with weekno and the start/end dates.
When i create a new row in the block1 for clientid and year (1234, 2008) then the block2 will be populated with 01-jan-2008 to the 31-dec-2008. But the problem i am having is when i try to save it is trying to save two times one from block1 and once from block2 resulting in a unique constraint error.
how should i structure this so it saves only once?
I tried to keep the clientid and the year in block1 as non-database items and copied those values into the block2, that way it saves correctly but when i try to query on the upper block it gives me error.

But you only have one table. You need two tables for master-detail. Can you normalize the calendar table and change it to two tables (master-detail).
See
Re: regarding display of records in header and line level
Gerd offers a solution for two blocks and one table. Maybe that will work for you.

Undecorated Frame (with title bar)

Is there a way to put a title bar accross my frame but remove the small buttons in the right side of the title bar? I can't really have "undecorated" frames since the user has to be able to resize and move the frame, but I don't want them to be able to see the "X" to close the window. I have disabled it by setting the default close operation to do nothing, but I am sure I will get complaints when they click on that and nothing happens (the way they close it is the same way they opened it -- via a checkboxmenuitem), so I think if they don't see the red x in the upper right corner they will just assume they have to use the checkboxmenuitem (and uncheck it) but if they see it they will want it to close it for them. Any ideas? I had thought of overriding the frame to catch the close operation but then I have to hook that frame to every checkboxmenuitem and it would get really hairy.

If I'm reading this right you have a JCheckbox with a listener so that when it 'unchecks',
there's some sort of code generated prior to the child window closing.
If so, can't you just add a windowlistener to the child frame, and in windowClosing 'uncheck' the checkbox
something like this
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
class ParentWindow extends JFrame implements ItemListener
JCheckBox chk = new JCheckBox("Open new window");
ChildWindow cw;
public ParentWindow()
    setLocation(300,200);
    setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    JPanel jp = new JPanel();
    chk.addItemListener(this);
    jp.add(chk);
    getContentPane().add(jp);
    pack();
public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent ie)
    int state = ie.getStateChange();
    if(state == ItemEvent.SELECTED)
      cw = new ChildWindow(this);
    if(state == ItemEvent.DESELECTED)
      //other cose associated with uncheck event
      cw.dispose();
public static void main(String args[]){new ParentWindow().setVisible(true);}
class ChildWindow extends JFrame
ParentWindow parent;
public ChildWindow(ParentWindow pw)
    parent = pw;
    setLocation(300,200);
    setDefaultCloseOperation(DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE);
    addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter(){
      public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e){
        parent.chk.setSelected(false);}}); //<-----------------
    JPanel jp = new JPanel();
    jp.add(new JLabel("Child Window"));
    getContentPane().add(jp);
    pack();
    setVisible(true);
}

Problem with title bar icons to change window size

i am running v 2.6 on vista 64 bit with a dual core processor. the window opens full screen on my Eizo 24" monitor set at 1900x1200 but there are no choices in the top right of my menu bar to shrink, move the window. i therefore cannot shrink the window or move it to my second monitor. if i right click on the lightoom icon in the taqsk bar, there are no choices to move, size, minimize,etc. other applications including photoshop work fine with easy control of window size so i do not think it is my system or graphics card. contol-Q does not close the program and the only way i can do so is from the file menu.
help please.

Jerome,
Hit 'F' enough times to get the title bar back.

Turning menu bar on with title bar off

I love how the title bar is gone from Firefox 4 and when I press ALT I can get the menu bar up next to the FIREFOX drop-down
I want to turn the menu bar on permanently, but as soon as I do the title bar comes back and the Firefox drop-down goes away (taking up more real estate).
How can I turn on the menu bar but keep the title bar off and the Firefox drop-down on?

You can't. You can either see the menu bar or the orange Firefox button.<br />
You can however customize the Firefox button or place extra items on the title bar.

Question about stacked canvas disappearing

Hi,
I have a block which has some database items and non-database items. Since
there are many items in the block, I use a stacked canvas with horizontal bar
to display the less important items.
In the trigger of new-block-instance, show_view('stacked_canvas')
But I face one problem. When I click on a non-database item and then move
the cursor away from the item, the stacked canvas suddenly disappears.
Any idea ?
Many thanks in advance

Imagine each canvas as a piece of paper stacked on a desk. Each piece of paper possibly has a different size and the top left corner of each piece is possible oriented in a different spot. When you say show_view('stacked_canvas') its like reaching to the bottom of the pile and putting that canvas top. When you click on an item not on the stacked canvas that items canvas is placed on top. Your problem is that your non-database item content canvas is covering up the stacked canvas. I think...
Your issue could be solved by simply rearranging the canvas order by putting the stacked canvas last (I think) in the object navigator.
Raise on Entry could also be causing your issue. Go to the help. Click the search tab. Type "raise on entry". Read "Working with the Raise on Entry Canvas Property". There is a good explanation in there on how stacked canvases get covered up by content canvases and when.

How: Stacked Canvas on Tab Canvas ?

Hi All,
I have content canvas in which I have placed tab canvas with 5 tabs, and on one of the tab I want to place stacked canvas because I have to display multiple blocks on this stacked canvas with vertical scroll bar (This I can specify by saying Vertical scroll bar as Yes for Stacked canvas).
There is a restriction that, it is not possible to place stacked canvas on tab canvas (Possible only on content canvas), so is there any other workaround.
Please let me know if anyone has worked on similar type of screen development. Appreciate if anyone can provide some sample code.
Advance thanks for your time and help.

Hi All,
I found the solution and successfully implemented the desired functionality
DECLARE
     v_Tab VARCHAR2(1000);
BEGIN
     v_Tab := GET_CANVAS_PROPERTY('CAN_TABS', TOPMOST_TAB_PAGE);
     IF v_Tab = 'a1' THEN
     GO_BLOCK('BLK1');
          EXECUTE_QUERY;
     ELSIF v_Tab = 'a2' THEN
          GO_BLOCK('BLK2');
          EXECUTE_QUERY;
     ELSIF v_Tab = 'a3' THEN
*          Set_View_Property('CAN_STK_FIS_NET',HEIGHT,280);*
*          Set_View_Property('CAN_STK_FIS_NET',WIDTH,630);*
*          Set_View_Property('CAN_STK_FIS_NET',DISPLAY_POSITION,6,135);*
*          SHOW_VIEW('CAN_STK_FIS_NET');     *
          GO_BLOCK('BLK_FIS1_GRID');
          EXECUTE_QUERY;
END IF;
END ;
I have seperately created stacked canvas 'CAN_STK_FIS_NET' and placed multiple blocks as per requirement and able to achieve the functionality.
Please let me know if any one need any detail explanation.

Hello,
When the Layout is open, just add the stacked canvas by selecting it in the tool bar and drawing its bounds onto the tab canvas.

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 displaying Stacked Canvas at runtime disappears?

Hi,
I have 3 canvases that contain the following:
1) Content Canvas -- This contains the TREE item.
2) Tab Canvas -- A tab canvas with a single Tab Page
3) Stacked Canvas -- This is a Stack Canvas with a few
text items on it.
4) Single Window.
======At runtime the following actions occur: ==========
1) The Viewport of the stacked canvas is set to the
Viewport of the Tab Page on the Tab Canvas so that it
looks like the Tab Page has a vertical and horizontal
scrollbar with text items displayed.
2) A text item on the Stacked Canvas is in focus as soon
the as the form window is displayed.
===================Problem is : =====================
1) When I select a Node of the Tree Item, the Tab Canvas
automatically disappears(or becomes invisible) , as a
result the stacked canvas displayed within it at
runtime also becomes invisible. I am left with only
the Tree item being displayed.
=======================================================
PS : I have never experienced this problem with just the
content canvas and the Tab Canvas together.
Any soultion to this problem is most appreciated.
Thanks
Sharath

I am experiencing the exact same thing. The width of the tabs in the layout editor is varied depending on the length of the text. However, at run-time, the width of the tabs is fixed, causing the tabs to be wider than the window and a set of VCR buttons to appear in the upper right corner of the canvas. Personally, I think this is a Forms bug. Why would they intentionally let us set the width to variable at design-time only to force a fixed width at run-time?
