Tab canvas color

Hi,
I had a form with content/stacked canvases and I converted all of them to tab so that it would be much easier for the users to view. Everything's working fine but somehow the color of all the canvases has changed to light gray. Earlier my canvases were teal (which is by default in 10g). I want to keep the default color i.e. teal, how can I do that?
Thanks in advance.

You can set all or some of the tab canvas's pages the background color you wish:
Open the object navigator , and all the tab pages of the tab canvas.
Right - click on each one - or press F4 - to activate the property palette. Change the background color as you like....
Note: you can do this in just one click..... You simply select the tab pages and preesing F4 you alter the background color.....
Greetings.

How to change the background color of a Tab Canvas

Hi All,
I accidentally changed existing background color of a tab Canvas to ' gray' which is not matching with main canvas (which has default).
How can I change background color to default. Please help me.
-Thanks

In the property palette of the tab page, click on the "Background Color" property and click the "Inherit" button on the top of the property palette, this will revert the value of the property to the default when the tab page was created which is <Unspecified>.
But if your tab page has inherited the color from a property class it will revert to what was specified in the property class.

Can't change color of Tab Canvas tabs

I'm trying to modify a the background color of a tab canvas, and the color of the canvas itself changes as specified, but I have been unable to change the color of the tabs themselves.
Am I missing something here, or is there a bug, or what?
Thanks for any enlightenment.

Thanks for the info - at least I know to quit looking for something I may have overlooked.
Thanks also for the possible workaround - I may try that.

Forms 6i - Highlight a tab page label (BOLD or coloring) in a tabbed canvas

Hi Sir,
I have an urgent requirement wherein I need to highlight a particular tab page header (label) either via
1. Making the tab page label BOLD
Or
2. Coloring that particular tab page.
OR
some other way.
Could anyone please help me on this.
Regards,
Kiran

No version of Oracle Forms allows you change these properties of a tabbed canvas. If you were using Forms 10g or higher, you would be able to use the Oracle Forms Look and Feel Project which is a set of JavaBeans created by Francois Degrelle and enables you the change many of the properties that Forms won't let you change. Unfortunately, you are stuck with what is available in Forms 6i.

How to change the number of tab in a Tab Canvas?

hello :)
any answers please ?

user9068133 - Posted: Nov 3, 2010 2:42 PM yes , it works very well on forms 10g, i know that is not a big problem but what can i do ! i have searched on google how to do that but i didn't find nothing .>
What exactly did you search for on Google? What is "that"?
Are you trying to add more tab pages to a Tabbed Canvas from the Forms Builder? If so, user13390506 is sort of right. Click on the "Canvases" node of the Object Navigator press the *<font color="green">green + </font>* button to add a new "Content" canvas to your form. Now you need to open the property pallet of the new canvas and change the "Canvas Type" property to "Tab." You will notice that the icon of the new canvas you created in the Object Navigator has changed. Click on the + node next to your new "Tab" canvas to reveal the "Tab Pages" node. Again, open this node (by clicking on the +) to reveal the individual tab pages. By default, Forms will create two tab pages. You can add a tab page in the "Tab Pages" node by clicking on the node and then clicking on the + button. To remove a tab page from the "Tab Pages" node, click on the tab page you want to remove and then click on the *<font color="red">red -</font>* (minus) button.
If you are trying to add a new tab page during the Form runtime - as I mentioned before - this is not possible.
Also, what is your Forms version?
Hope this helps,
Craig B-)

Tab pages color

Hi,
I have 3 tab canvases and each tab canvas has 6 tab pages. I was wondering if it's possible to change the background color of the tab pages? for example tab canvas TEST has tab pages a,b,c,d,e,f. I like to change the background color of 'c' tab page?.
Thanks

I don't think you can change the color on the tab at the top of the tab page. That seems to be controlled by some Windows settings, or something else.
What I have done is to change the title of the tab page, maybe adding asterisks, (or your "-->" characters) to the title of each page that has data.
Examples:
-> tpage1 <-
** tpage1 **

Change Tab Canvas Tab Attributes?

Hello:
I've got a tab canvas where I changed the background and foreground colors using a visual attribute--this changed the "body" area of all of the individual tab canvases which is what I wanted. However, it didn't change the background colors of the actual tabs (on the top of) these canvases, they are still in the default Oracle gray and teal (the tab for the canvas currently on 'top' is gray and the others are teal). How do I change the visual attributes of the tabs themselves? This shouldn't be as difficult as it's being, but I can't find a setting for this.
Thanks,
Mark

I'll bet the tabs on top actually are set by the color of the "parent" tab canvas background color. I always just set its background color, and never tried changing the individual tab pages. In fact, I don't know about making each tab a different color -- it looks like you can change each one's color, but the tabs at the top will probably keep the parent tab's color.

Runtime tab canvas does not look the same as designed in layout editor.

I created a tab canvas with the following physical properties:
Corner Style - Chamfered
Width Style - Variable
Active Style - Bold
The canvas looks nice in the layout editor, with the above properties. However, at runtime, the tab canvas seems to ignore the above properties and instead shows up with non-chamfered looking (whatever chamfered means) fixed-width rectangular tabs and the active tab page label is not in bold font. Is there a runtime setting that I'm missing here?
null

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?

Oracle Forms 10G(tabbed canvasses not working the same as in Forms 6i)

Hi everyone,
I have a form which gets called from another form through a list of value. The called form(second form) has a group of tabbed canvases which get displayed depending on the parameters passed from the first form.
The Form is working prefectly fine in Forms 6i but when I converted the same form in to forms 10G it does not seem to work the same way. The tabbed canvasses are not getting displayed. I am manually having to press the execute query to get data displayed in the tabbed canvasses. I checked the parameters that are being passed and they are the same as that in Forms 6i.
Please let me know where my 10G Form is going wrong. Appreciate your help, please send me an email on [email protected]
Thanks

Tab Canvas

Hi,
I am using Forms 10g. I have Content canvas named CANVAS1 display few items from BLK1. I created a tab canvas called TAB_CAN contains TAB_PAGE1 and TAB_PAGE2, display items from BLK2
I would like to show the form in enter query mode and Form should display both CANVAS1 and TAB_CAN
Content canvas only displayed if i write in when-new-form-instance
show_view('canvas1');
show_view('tab_can');
go_item('blk2.item1);
go_item('blk1.item1)
enter-query;
tab canvas only displayed if i write code like this in write in when-new-form-instance
show_view('canvas1');
show_view('tab_can');
go_item('blk1.item1)
go_item('blk2.item1);
enter-query;
So, I request you to write a code to display both canvases and control should be in contant canvas and form should be enter-query mode.
Regards,
Murali

Hello Murali,
As you are saying you want to show a Content canvas (Canvas1) and Tab Canvas (Tab_Can) both at the same time, you need to use more than one window for this.
Actually at any instant of time, you can show only one canvas on any window. So have two windows WINDOW 1 and WINDOW 2.
In Content canvas, set the window as WINDOW1, and in WINDOW1 set the primary canvas as CANVAS1. And, for tab canvas actually you should have another content canvas(CANVAS2) on which you have placed this Tab_Can. So in content canvas (CANVAS2), set the window as WINDOW2, and in WINDOW2 set the primary canvas as CANVAS2.
It will work i feel.

Tab canva disapear whith stacked canvas

Tab canvas on a content Canvas

Hi,
I need to put a tab canvas on a content canvas in 10g R2.
and have items from the same data block distributed across the canvases.
I have set them up with the appropriate viewport for the tab canvas, but at runtime, the tab canvas does not appear untill an item on it gets the focus.
Both canvases are set to the same window.
I'm sure this is possible and I think I have done it before but for some unknown reason can't seem to remember how !.
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
Tony Garabedian

Hi Steve,
Yup, it is definitely related to the window, if the window is the form's console window and the window is the first window created in the form (default window created with the first canvas mostly WINDOW1) the tab canvas is behaving in that way.
Create a new window and make sure that this window is not the console window and the behavior is very much normal, the tab canvas appears as soon as the window gets focused.
This what I have found out for now, if later testing shows anything else I'll post the results.
Regards,
Tony Garabedian
I just added a stack canvas on that same window and the problem returned....
So I rearranged the canvases, and purposely set the canvas on the console window, it worked, so now it seems that the problem appears if you have a stacked canvas AND a tab canvas on the same window.
Hope this ain't a bug it sure looks and acts like one though.

Tab Canvas on a STACKED Canvas?

Is it possible to have a tab canvas ON (IN) a stacked canvas? Or can a tab canvas ONLY be placed on a content canvas?
Thanks!

Hi,
Can you tell the requirement clearly, whether you need to create a tab canvas on stacked canvas, a tab canvas in stacked canvas.
1.Stack Canvas in Tab canvas
First you need to create a tab canvas in the content canvas then you need to create a stack canvas on the content canvas, then you need to align it properly.

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
