Using OCX controls in oracle forms 6

Hi,
I wanted to use the ocx control (filenet idmviewer control) in my forms. I imported the control using the ole importer. But i dont know how to reference it or so to say, how to use it to access my documents in the repository.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for your info. I tried that. But i could not complete. It gives me compilation errors.
If you have any sample apps. can u forward it to me?

Third party ocx controls with oracle 6i forms

I would appreciate if anyone can get the solution on how to work with the ocx controls on the oracle forms.i am doing the same thing and when I embed the ocx control on the form during design time and then execute it then the ocx control is lost during run time as I have to insert the object on the oracle form during the run time again and then how do I call the functions of the ocx ?please guide me at the earliest.thank you.

Firstly upgrade to the latest patch of 6i, early version of 6i have a bug where OCX licence information is not correctly stored with the container, so in some cases the control will not instanciate at runtime.
To call functions in the control, the simplest thing to do is to use the OLE Importer (MENU: Program -> Import OLE Library Interfaces). Choose the class of your control and Forms will generate you a PL/SQL package to call all the functions in the control.
The rest is up to you - you have to know the API of the control you are using.

OLE Controls in Oracle Forms 6

Env: Oracle 8xi, Forms 6, Attachmate Infoconnect OCX, Windows 2000
Hey All,
I am looking for general information on using Oracle Forms PL*SQL Library
for OLE2 to access and utilize a 3rd party Ole Control. I have a short-term
gig doing this and with the exception of how to utilize the properties and
methods of a 3rd Party OCX, I am a fish out of water when it comes to Oracle
development. I can embedded and utilize the control in VB and VC++ with no
problems but I need some help on how to embedded an OCX into an Oracle Form
and instantiate and use it through PL*SQL and the Oracle OLE2 Library. There
is no documentation on how to do this with Oracle from Attachmate. According
to Oracle you can use a 32 bit OCX in an Oracle form. I just need
a little help on how to do it.Any code snippets, book reccommedations, sites, or advice as to where to
look would be helpful.
Additionally, I am looking for anyone who has specific experience in using
Attachemate's Infoconnect OCX. Any info you could share would be
appreciated. Thanks for any help you can provide!

You must have read some post of a client-server version of Forms. It is always better to post the link that you are referring to

How to use Java Script in Oracle Forms 10g

Hello,
Appreciate if anyone could help me using Java Script in Oracle Forms 10g?
Thanks
GM

Thank you for your reply. I was reading on the metalink that we could use the to call the java script from oracle Forms 10g (Doc ID 265863.1)
Example:
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('javascript:void(window.open("http://www.oracle.com","","location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,status=no,"));self.close()','_blank');
I tried it but it did not open the any window as it claims. Am I missing anything? Is there any IE related setting which I need to modify for the above to work?

How to use BULK COLLECT in oracle forms

hi gurus,
I am using oracle forms
Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.0.2 (Production)
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - ProductionI wanna use bulk collect from database table lets say <employees>
while working on database level with collections and records it's working very well for me, but when I try to use that technique on oracle forms it hits me error
error 591 this feature is not supported in client side programmingI know I can use cursors to loop through the records of oracle tables ,
but I'm convenient while using collections and arrays
for example
Set Serveroutput On
Declare
      Type Rec_T Is Record (
       Empid Number ,
       Empname Varchar2(100)
      Type V_R Is Table Of Rec_T Index By Binary_Integer;
      V_Array V_R;
Begin
   Select Employee_Id , First_Name
   Bulk Collect
   Into V_Array
      From Employees;
   For Indx In V_Array.First..V_Array.Last Loop
   Dbms_Output.Put_Line('employees id '||V_Array(Indx).Empid ||'and the name is '||V_Array(Indx).Empname);
   End Loop;
     End;I wanna use this same way on oracle forms , for certain purposes , please guide me how can I use ...
thanks...

For information, you can use and populate a collection within the Forms application without using the BULK COLLECT
Francoisactually I want to work with arrays , index tables ,
like
         record_type (variable , variable2);
         type type_name <record_type> index by binary_integer
        type_variable type_name;
        and in main body of program
        select something
        bulk collect into type_variable
        from any_table;
       loop
            type_variable(indx).variable , type_variable(indx).variable2;
       end loop;
       this is very useful for my logic on which I am working
          like
          type_variable(indx).variable || type_variable(indx-1);
         if it's possible with cursors then how can I use cursor that can fullfill my this logic@Francois
if it's possible then how can i populate without using bulk collect?
thanks
and for others replies: if I can use stored procedures please give me any example..
thanks

Help : Unable to use Java Beans in Oracle forms 6i

Hi ,
I have been trying to run few sample code to understand how to use Java beans in oracle forms 6i .But have been largely unsuccessfull.
It will be great if somebody can provide me with some simple form( and java code )which uses java beans concept to give some data to the java program and receive some data from it . Pls inform me about the settings that need to be done.
If you guys know it then pls take the pains of writing a simple form and java code.
i hope somebody will respond because your reply is very necesary for me to proceed.
U can email me the code > [email protected]
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply Francois.
Actually i am not facing problem understanding the programming technique.
I think the problem at my end is more of a cofiguration one.I am using forms version 6i
on oracle 8.
Every time i set the imlementation class property of the bean area it gives an error 13010 which translates to that "the class being mentioned is not extending the IView class".
The class i have written extends VBean so i am not sure why this error is occuring.
I think if oracle (correctly) finds the java class to use then i will be able to proceed.
Pls reply.
If you have some code that is working fine then pls send it to me.And also inform is some environment variables have to be set for its use.

Hi,
I am trying to create a multirow tabsheet control using OCX. I am using "tabctl32.ocx" file to create the tab control.

Now what should I do?
Or Is there any way to create "Multirow tab sheets" using Form's deafault tab canvas

Use Host command in Oracle forms 6i

hi
all
i use Oracle forms 6i i run in a web and in that i have connect one server so,
i have to use Host Command and i have to fire this command
host (' net use \\windchillsvr\e\jyotionline /user:dwg_users dwg_users');
But it's Not Connect
My Forms in run in Web
so help

JavaBean does d othe job for you but it requires signing process; I used it when I was working on forms6i for our project.
I could use another approach that is the file type command executable which it stays in client's PC to do it and it does not requires signing at all since I am now working on the Java EE project for downloading and launching the third party tool in client's PC.
I plan to write a article for forms use, which could do all the heavy WebUtil can do, but not need to go thru the signing process.

Using Numeric Keypad In Oracle Forms 6i

Dear All,
I am facing some problems when I am Working with Numeric Keypad on Oracle Forms 6i.
I have 10 Buttons and In Every Button Property I have defined the "Access Key".
e.g
Buttons | Property   | Value
Button1 | Access Key | "1"
Button2 | Access Key | "2"
Button3 | Access Key | "3"
Button4 | Access Key | "4"
Button5 | Access Key | "5"
Button6 | Access Key | "6"
Button7 | Access Key | "7"
Button8 | Access Key | "8"
Button9 | Access Key | "9"
Button0 | Access Key | "0"Example : When I will Press Only "1" Using Numeric Keypad, Message Window will appear with the Message "You have Pressed 1..."
All Buttons are functioning Properly when I Pressing (One Key Stroke) 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0 using Numeric KeyPad.
But I am not able to apply this Technique on "*" , "/" , "-" , "+" , "." , "Num Lock".
How Can I utilize these Characters(*,-,+,/,NumLock) in my application to perform a certain task using Single Key Stroke through Buttons or any other way in Oracle Forms 6i.
Note : We don't want to give Keyboard / Mouse to User. We have given a Numeric KeyPad to the User for a Certain Task.
Thanks in Advance

It works for me on 10g but the only pitfall is the " * ", the workaround is to use the " & " in the label next to the key you want.
for example:
Button*   label &*
Button-   label   &-
Button/   label   &/
Button+   label   &+
Button.   label   &.Try it

How to use java programe in oracle form

Hello Expert,
My Config is : -
Forms [32 Bit] Version 11.1.1.3.0 (Production)
Jdeveloper - 10.1.3
I want to use the java programe in form builder. I create the one java class in Jdeveloper -
package demo;
import java.net.InetAddress;
import java.net.NetworkInterface;
import java.net.SocketException;
import java.net.UnknownHostException;
public class get_info{
   public static void main(String[] args){
   ch_add();
   public static void ch_add()
InetAddress ip;
try {
ip = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
/*System.out.println("Current IP address : " + ip.getHostAddress()); */
NetworkInterface network = NetworkInterface.getByInetAddress(ip);
byte[] mac = network.getHardwareAddress();
/*System.out.print("Current MAC address : ");   */
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < mac.length; i++)
sb.append(String.format("%02X%s", mac[i], (i < mac.length - 1) ? "-" : ""));
System.out.println(sb.toString());
} catch (UnknownHostException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (SocketException e){
e.printStackTrace();
and this into Formweb.cfg and default.env and also add into Form_class_path. After that i import this java into forms.

ex ora_java.jobject;
BEGIN
jo := get_info.new;
rv:=get_info.ch_add(jo );

WHEN ORA_JAVA.EXCEPTION_THROWN then
ex := ORA_JAVA.LAST_EXCEPTION;
message(' Unable to call out to Java ' ||Exception_.toString (ex ) );
message(' Unable to call out to Java ' ||Exception_.toString (ex ) );

No error comes and no output comes. I want the client MAC ID. please guide me where i need to change the code.
