Trapping - "Do you want to save changes" alert button pressed

When exiting a data block with unsaved changes, the user is prompted with "Do you want to save the changes you have made ?" The possible button click responses are "Yes", "No", "Cancel"
Is there a way to programmatically catch the click on the "Cancel" button ?
Oracle Forms 10g

Thanks for the suggestion W1zard. Here is the solution that I have come up based on the recommendation.
Essentially I create my own custom alert that mimics the system generated alert. In this manner I am able to control the behavior based on the alert button pressed by the user. This method also suppresses the system generated alert, so the user isn't prompted twice.
At the form level I have created the KEY-EXIT and the KEY-ENTQRY triggers. Additionally I created an ALERT titled SAVE_CHANGES with buttons Yes, No, Cancel.
h4. KEY-EXIT Trigger
DECLARE
     alert_id     ALERT;
     alert_button     NUMBER;
BEGIN
     IF :SYSTEM.FORM_STATUS IN ('CHANGED') THEN
          alert_id := FIND_ALERT('SAVE_CHANGES');
          alert_button := SHOW_ALERT(alert_id);
          -- ALERT_BUTTON1 is Yes, ALERT_BUTTON2 is No, ALERT_BUTTON3 is Cancel
          IF alert_button = ALERT_BUTTON1 THEN
               EXIT_FORM(DO_COMMIT);
          ElSIF alert_button = ALERT_BUTTON2 THEN
               EXIT_FORM(NO_COMMIT);
          ELSE
               RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
          END IF;
     ELSE
          EXIT_FORM;
     END IF;
END;h4. KEY-ENTQRY Trigger
DECLARE
     alert_id     ALERT;
     alert_button     NUMBER;
BEGIN
     IF :SYSTEM.FORM_STATUS IN ('CHANGED') THEN
          alert_id := FIND_ALERT('SAVE_CHANGES');
          alert_button := SHOW_ALERT(alert_id);
          -- ALERT_BUTTON1 is Yes, ALERT_BUTTON2 is No, ALERT_BUTTON3 is Cancel
          IF alert_button = ALERT_BUTTON1 THEN
               COMMIT_FORM;
               ENTER_QUERY;
          ElSIF alert_button = ALERT_BUTTON2 THEN
               CLEAR_FORM(TO_SAVEPOINT);
               ENTER_QUERY;
          ELSE
               RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
          END IF;
     ELSE
          ENTER_QUERY;
     END IF;
END;

  • Customizing default message "Do you want to save changes you have made?"

    Hi all
    Can I customize the default message generated by oracle forms "Do you want to save changes you have made?"
    I want to change its title, message, alert style, button labels, and visual attribute. And functionality.
    Thanks
    Asad.

    Of course ON-MESSAGE will not work. Use the trigger on your Exit_Form button. Then check the form or block or record status (depending on your design) and do appropriate coding, something like this:
    IF :System.Form_Status = 'CHANGED' THEN
    retCode := Show_Alert('MY_EXIT_ALERT');
    if retCode = ALERT_BUTTON2 THEN
    Exit_Form(NO_VALIDATE);
    elsif retCode = ALERT_BUTTON1 then
    Commit_Form;
    else
    Whathever_It_Is;
    end if;
    end if;
    If you have master-detail block and u're recieving the message when detail is changed but u want to scroll master records - write me a mail to tell u which trigger to use. It is not that I don't want to share info - just can't recall right now.

  • Is it possible to hide/show the "Do you want to save changes you have made?" msg

    Hi,
    Is it possible to hide and show the Oracle message "Do you want to save changes you have made?"
    Thank You

    Not really.
    You have to use commit_form to commit the changes or a
    rollback_form to rollback just before exit_form, clear_form,
    or clear_block.
    Or, use clear_form(no_validate), clear_block(no_validate).
    It might be good to check wether there is some change in the
    data and show an alert in your own language asking the user in
    his/her own language wether he/she wants to commit the changes
    or not.

  • Do you want to save changes button code

    Hi guys,
    Quick question which I was wondering if anyone could help me out. When a form has changed and you press the x button you get the message do you want to save changes? with a yes or no option. Is it possible to put code in to trigger of these yes/no buttons when clicked and if so how would I go about doing this?
    Thanks.

    hello
    if i got your need so you will need to create alert
    then start coding
    examlpe
    1- create alert called save_record
    2- in key exit trigger write this code
    DECLARE
    al_id Alert;
    al_button NUMBER;
    BEGIN
    al_id := Find_Alert('save1');
    IF Id_Null(al_id) THEN
    Message('User_Warning alert does not exist');
    RAISE Form_Trigger_Failure;
    ELSE
    /* ** Show the warning alert */
    al_button := Show_Alert(al_id);
    ** If user pressed OK (button 1) then bring up another
    ** alert to confirm -- button mappings are specified
    ** in the alert design */
    IF al_button = ALERT_BUTTON1 THEN
    al_id := Find_Alert('Are_You_Sure');
    IF Id_Null(al_id) THEN
    Message('The alert named: Are you sure? does not exist'); Message('The alert named: Are you sure? does not exist');
    commit;
    exit form;
    RAISE Form_Trigger_Failure;
    ELSE
    al_button := Show_Alert(al_id);
    IF al_button = ALERT_BUTTON2 THEN
    null;
    END IF;
    END IF;

  • How to enforce the message "Do you want to save changes?"

    Hello,
    How to enforce the message "Do you want to save changes?" when the user attempts to close a form after checking a non-database item (check-box).
    All the other database items in the block are not updateable and only viewable.
    After checking the non database item check-box, if the user tries to commit, then the system is saving the changes and call the appropriate procedure on save.
    But if the user tries to close the window without committing, the form is not showing the message "Do you want to save changes?" since the check-box is a non database item.
    How to enforce the message "Do you want to save changes?" in this scenario when the user tries to close the window?
    Thanks in advance.
    Cheers
    Sri

    This is a fairly common question in the forum. You will need to override the default exit form process and check to see if the checkbox is checked. You can do this in the Key-Exit trigger. For Example:
    DECLARE
      al_id     ALERT;
      al_button  NUMBER;
    BEGIN
      IF ( CHECKBOX_CHECKED('YOUR_BLOCK.CHECKBOX_ITEM') ) THEN
         /* Display an Alert here that asks, "Do you want to save changes?" */
         ...code here to set the properties of your alert...
         al_button := Show_Alert(al_id);
         IF ( al_button = ALERT_BUTTON1 ) THEN
            --YES
            /* Perform COMMIT Processing here...*/
         ELSIF ( al_button = ALERT_BUTTON2 ) THEN
            --No
            Exit_Form(NO_VALIDATE);
         ELSE
            --Cancel
            RAISE Form_Trigger_Failure;
         END IF;
      ELSE
         Exit_Form;
      END IF;
    END;If you need more help with the Alert, please check out the SHOW_ALERT topic in the Forms Help.
    BTW, what happens if all the user does is check the checkbox? No other changes have occured. What changes are you trying to process?
    Hope this helps,
    Craig B-)

    I first tried the version without the deflated stream (so everything uncompressed) against the online repair tool to check/analyse it @ https://www.pdf-tools.com/osa/repair.aspx
    And it says no error found, but the reader still want to save it when closing so i still had no clue at this point.
    Fortunately, i finally found what was wrong with my generated PDF.
    In my xref table, each object reference was not end by a full EOL, i only did put a newline char.
    Now i have "carriage return" "newline" which is the full EOL and the reader is happy and close the file silently.
    As suspected i did not follow correctly the specs on xref table
    Now i'll go and figure what i did wrong with the deflate filter
    Thanks for your help.

  • Adobe Reader X (free) -- "Do you want to save changes" prompt

    Why is this prompt always coming up when I close a PDF document?
    "Do you want to Save Changes to  X   Before closing?"
    I am using the free Adobe Reader X 10.1.1.  I can't make any changes to the file since it's the free version, so why is it asking me to save changes?  Even if I just open the file and just close it right away without doing anything else the prompt comes up.

    I think pretty much any PDF created by CutePDFWriter did that (as well as others not created that way, but CutePDF seemed to do it reliably).
    To verify that I'd have to un-install 9.5.0 and re-install Reader X, which I'd rather not do (9.5.0 is better in other ways too - the integration with Chrome is nicer because the "print" and "save as" buttons always appear; they hardly ever appeared in Reader X when opening a PDF from Chrome).
    You can get CutePDFWriter here: http://www.cutepdf.com/products/cutepdf/writer.asp
    Let me know if you can't reproduce the problem (just post here) and I'll un-install/re-install, verify a file with the problem, and post it.
    For now I'm very happy with Reader 9.5.0; it's perfect.

    Is it possible to disable the 'do you want to save changes to...' pop-up in Reader 10.1.1 LS? I'm using CrystalViewer to read reports - but I don't edit them so don't need to save any changes.

  • Master-detail raises Do you want to save changes

    Dear all,
    my form is of 1 master block and 3 details to that block, now whenever i tried to exit the form a Do you want to save changes? message is displayed but whenever i delete any one of the relations the message doesn't appear..
    plz any help is appreciated

    The problem is that some of the records are marjed as dirty - If you're not actually changing anything manually and you still get the error, then check that you've not got any POST-QUERY triggers updating DB fields or the use of LOV for validation which can also mark a record as dirty.
    You can of course supress / ignore the DYWTC message using EXIT_FORM(NO_VALIDATE) or similar, but you'lll probaly want to double check the cause of the record update first.

  • Keep Getting 'Do you want to save changes Msg'

    Hi all
    Have a small form, two multi-record blocks, everything works ok, have no commits or anything in it but keep getting the message 'do you want to save changes?' if I clear query or exit form, if I press yes I get frm-40400 X amount of records saved when nothing has been changed.
    I have another very similar form project more or less the same but with only one block and it doesn't do this??
    Any ideas?
    Andrew

    I have used built in exit_form on a key exit form trigger and this has stopped message when I exit form.
    exit_form(no_commit, no_validate);
    But when I clear the query the 'Do you want to save' message still appears and also a message at the bottom left saying:
    Press CTRL + Tab to move between choices, ENTER to select.

  • Catching: Do you want to save changes? yes,no,cancel

    I would like to capture the update event after "yes" is clicked on the pop up message: "Do you want to save changes? yes no cancel" The form id on this object is zero, and I'm having trouble differentiating between this and similar inventory warnings that pop up as the form id is also zero.

    Hi Jw,
    I would assume that this is when you are using some of the standard business one forms because if it was a request via code you would have full control over it.
    What I like to do is use a before_action and action_sucsess. If the user clicks on cancel, the action_sucsess = False, thus you know your code will only execute when you click ok, unless there were any other errors within SBO, (EG Item not on hand in case of a stock transfer or something) - In which event, you probably dont want your code to excute anyway
    I attach some code below
    Shared Sub ClickEvent(ByVal FormUID As String, ByRef pVal As SAPbouiCOM.ItemEvent, ByRef bubbleevent As Boolean)
            Dim errfree As Boolean
            errfree = True
            Dim Errmsg As String
            Try
                If pVal.ItemUID = "1" Then
                    If pVal.Before_Action = True Then
                        BeforeAction(FormUID, pVal, bubbleevent)
                    End If
                    If pVal.ActionSuccess = True Then
                        ' Ok so its an After Action
                        If pVal.ActionSuccess = True Then
                            AfterAction(FormUID, pVal, bubbleevent)
                        End If
                    End If
                End If
            Catch ex As Exception
                errfree = False
                Errmsg = ex.Message
            Finally
    Thanks

  • Getting Do you want to save changes while pressing F11

    Hello,
    I created one Custom Form by using template.fmb. In that 2 database blocks and 2 control blocks. In database blocks also couple of items are non database items. When ever I open the form from Oracle Applications and pressing F11 with out doing any changes then it is prompting for Do you want to save changes? If i am pressing Yes then (in my form i am using sequence). that one is generating and saving. After saving it is going into enter query mode.
    Can you please help me out how to avoid this message and why this message is coming.
    Regards,
    Akash Vandan

    You are getting this problem because you are probably modifying one of the fields in PRE or WHEN-NEW triggers. Just check if you have assigned any value to the fields using. you can search for colon (:).
    Just delete that part of code and your form will work fine.

  • Supress Prompt 'do you want to save changes to the design of form...

    Using Access 2007 SP2.

    Close button is on the main form with the following code 
    DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name, acSaveNo

    Is there any way to suppress this annoying message?
    Can anyone help on this
    Thanks in advance

    When I close the form I am prompted with  'do you want to save changes to the design of form...'
    Which form is it prompting you about saving, the main form or the subform?  If you close the main form with "DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name, acSaveNo", I wouldn't expect you to get a prompt about saving changes to that form.  But I could
    see you getting a prompt about saving design changes to the subform.  Are you making any design changes to the subform while in form view, such as filtering, sorting, column-resizing, etc?
