Forms 10 / mouse navigation

Hi Friends,
I'm having trouble with the mouse navigation in WebForms.
(I know there are several threads about this topic already,
but I didn't see any solution - if there is some, please would
someone take these tomatoes off my eyes ..)
I'am using Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2 + Sun Plugin 1.4.2_07
The problem is: when I click with the mouse into some text field,
the cursor will blink in that field, but the programm focus will stay
in the "former" text field (text input will be entered in that "former" field).
Using tab, next-key ... works fine.
This happens always (once in a while clicking into a combobox field will change focus).
My solution so far is a when-mouse-click trigger with basically
     go_block(:system.trigger_block)
     go_record(:system.mouse_record)
     go_item(:system.mouse_item)(open issue: create_record when clicking in an empty line in a multi-record-block)
Does anyone have any better solution?
I can't remember having any problem of that kind with Forms 6i and JInitiator 1.3.17.
Way off assumption: could it be connected to some security restriction like no access to some system resources?
(since I'm getting three unsolved java errors at startup)
Gratefull for any ideas .. or solutions ;-)
Volker

oh, sorry, somehow I missed all those questions.
The solution is something like this:
1. Find the file "java.policy" on your system
The exact location depends on your local configuration
(in my case for example it is Y:\Settings\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\security)
2. Put the following line in the that file
grant { permission java.security.AllPermission; };
3. Close all browser windows (to be sure that your JVM stops)
4. Start your browser+application
If your mouse problems are gone, then you may start to drill down the permissions you have to grant (assuming you don't want to live with that "grant all" above). Ask your java expert for it or search for "java.policy".
If your mouse problem still exists, make sure you changed the proper "java.policy" (for example by putting in some wrong code, then you should get java syntax error messages at browser startup).
If you are sure you changed the right java.policy file, then your solution lies somewhere else and I can't help you anymore.
questions?
(from now I will keep an eye on it ..)

How to retain focus in Web forms 6i item when displaying pdf image

How to retain focus in Web forms 6i item when displaying pdf image in a multi-record block?
Hello.
I have a Web Forms 6i program (version Forms 6.0.8.19.2) running in a 3-tier application. The web form program has a multi-record block containing invoices. When navigating to a record, the form should display the PDF invoice image which is stored in an Oracle 8.1.7 database as a BLOB in another window. When user press down-arrow, the next PDF invoice image should be displayed.
I am able to accomplish the functionality above by using web.show_document('URL', target') in the when-new-record-instance. The URL being called is a PL/SQL Web Toolkit stored procedure using wpg_docload.download_file built-in.
The problem is that the focus is lost on the Webform and the focus is shifted to the PDF image window when you navigate to the next record using down-arrow. I want to retain the focus in the form as this is a data-entry form, the operator will use down-arrow to go to the next-record rather than the mouse. I also only want to do this for this Invoice Entry form and NOT to all forms.
Please advise how to resolve this problem. Thank you.
Regards,
Armando

Magesh,
the issue of a SSO protected form showing the logon dialog is a knwon issue for Windows200 and the Oracle9iAS base release. If you applied Forms Patch 1 then this should be solved. Hope that I am right in that you are using Oracle9iAS and not Oracle9iDS. Do you see the Single Sign-On logon screen or the Forms logon dialog directly? Check the forms90.conf file in teh forms90/server directory as this contains the Form sso settings (mod_osso) which by default is commented out and therefore inactive. You need to remove the commenting '#' characters and make sure that each sentence having a '#' in front, after that starts on a new line.
The Forms deployment documentation within the Oracle9iAS docu provides this information too.

Mouse navigation between fields in Sun Java JRE

We have a lot of forms (few hundred) generated by Oracle Designer 2000 and HeadStart and then converted (by internal Oracle converter part of Developer Suite) to Forms 6i and 10g version. All forms perfectly work with JInitiator (1.3.1.17 and 1.3.1.22) in Forms Web 6i or 10g deployments. Problem occurs if we try to run our forms within Sun Java JRE (1.4 or 1.5 or 1.6) then mouse navigation inside form stops working, ie. if I click in any field in the middle of the form cursor immediately jumps back to the first field of form. I can navigate to the other fields with the keypad without the problem.
Does anyone have similar problem and managed to solve it?
Thanks And Regards

Hello,
I've installed these patches as indicated, but still i have navigation issues when opening screens already opened and existing in the Window menu. Here is the situation:
we had oracle application server 10.1.2.0.2. We are using jre1.6 (instead of jinitiator).
we installed the patches 5983622 and 8306828.
when we open a screen, everything works fine, no navigation issues among fields. when we open a second screen, then go back to the first screen with the window menu, we loose the focus on the screen. we can click on any item but the cursor is still on the last item visited before opening the second screen. so we have to use the tab key instead of the mouse or close this screen then reopen it.
Please advice how to treat this problem because it's urgent.
Thanks in advance

Question about data extraction from web forms

I am developing a simple web form in DreamWeaver MX for
increased accesibility for users who utilize screen reader
software, as navigating PDF forms is still currently very difficult
for most of the screen readers to navigate. I was wondering if
there is a way to take an .asp webform that a user fills out and
when they hit a print button it would extract the data from the
form and open an Adobe PDF form and populate the data they entered
into specific fields within the PDF form which would allow them to
print an official copy of the form they used the web version to
complete. Any insight into this possibility is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

How to send a user defined parameter to a web form?

Hi,
I4m looking for a solution how to send a user defined parameter to a web form when I start the form from a html-page.
I think that it should work to add the parameter to the URL.
Example: I added myparam=myvalue at the end oft the URL
http://my.server.com:7777/f60cgi?form=myform.fmx&userid=scott/tiger@mydb&otherparams=useSDI=NO&lookAndFeel=generic&colorScheme=teal&myparam=myvalue
How can I fetch the parameter myparam in forms?

You have the user the otherParams parameter, which you can specify in the formsweb.cfg file, or override on the url. e.g. http://myhost/servlet/f690servlet?config=myApp&otherParams=myParam=myValue
In the Forms Builder, in the Navigator window, there is a node called Parameters. Create one in there, and then you can refer to it like a block variable. e.g. if :myparam = 'myvalue' then...
At runtime, Forms will match up any parameters on the command with parameters defined in your form, and populate them for you. You don't have to do anything.

Web forms w/ patch 1 tree & call_form crash

Hi there:
I've done my homework and haven't come across anyone else w/ the same problem, so let me see if I can start a grass roots movement here.
I've got a tree item in a 6i patch 1 web form that acts as a forms launcher. If you double-click a particular node I execute a call_form that looks something like this:
call_form(form_name,NO_HIDE,NO_REPLACE,NO_QUERY_ONLY,SHARE_LIBRARY_DATA);
That's what I want: a modal form w/ the calling form in the background. So far, so good, but while I was trying to break the system while having the called-form in focus, I clicked back in the tree item area (single-click, so no custom trigger was getting executed at all), and then everything disappears as if I exited both the called and calling form (client-end).
The log gives me a dump w/ an excerpt like:
[Thu Feb 15 18:02:06 2001 EST]::Client Status [ConnId=455, PID=27864]
>> ERROR: Abnormal termination of connection, Error Code: 6
FORM/BLOCK/FIELD: MAIN_DEFENDANT:GLANCE.GLANCE_TREE
Last Trigger: WHEN-TREE-NODE-ACTIVATED - (Execution Suspended)
Msg: <NULL>
Last Builtin: CALL_FORM - (Successfully Completed)
------------- Call Stack Trace [ConnId = 455, ProcId = 27864] -------------
Anyone else seen or more importantly overcome this?
Thanks,
Charlton

I knew this would happen . . . came up w/ a solution by making the called forms' window modal=yes.
I will see if this is what I really want, but I still think something may be wrong w/ the fact that the client simply crashes when navigating from a called_form to a tree object.

Group Tree issue, web form vs Win form?

Using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010...
I am using the same report file for a Win form and web form version of the same utility program. The report was built bases on a view to the database, and both programs populate the report based on a dataset which has the same columns with restrictive where clauses, based on user input prior to populating the report.
On the Win Form version, when the user clicks a group on the Group Tree, the report nicely navigates to the appropriate section of the report. However... on the Web version, the ReportViewer makes a return trip to the database, refreshing the data with the entire view, overwriting the original content. In other words, out of lets say 50,000 possible records, if I ask for 50, they are displayed as I want, but in the web report, if I try and navigate to any of the 50, I get all 50,000 (an no navigation), an unwanted return to the database.
I am perplexed, as it is the same report file used by both versions.
I tried hiding the Group Tree panel (I don't need it), per instructions (CrystalReportViewer1.ToolPanelView = ToolPanelViewType.None;)
But that only closes the panel, and it is still available to the user to open (icon remaining). Is it possible to really make the Group Tree unavailable?
thanks,
Mark

Ludek,
What I wish to do is follow the instructions for placing the report in a session, per your suggestions above:
     Place the report in session. See
     KBA 1985571 - How to use sessions in web applications using the Crystal Reports viewer (the complete code)
OK, since I'm new at this, where does the code go? I can't seem to resolve RAPPBasePage, and I admit that without more specific directions on the linked page, I'm more than a bit lost with this.
Thanks,
Mark
Below is a complete code that describes how to ensure the report is in
session:
public partial class Reports : RAPPBasePage
      private ReportDocument crReportDocument;
      protected override void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
           //connect method to master event
           base.Page_Init(sender, e);

Hierarchical tree in web forms 10g - form freezing

I have an application with an hierarchical tree on one of the forms - the application worked fine as client/server back in forms 6 but now that it is web enabled in 10g there are problems with the tree causing the form to freeze, then the entire application has to be closed. It doesn't seem to matter if you are selecting a node or creating a new node both have caused the form to freeze. It doesn't happen all of the time but it seems that the longer the application has been in use the more it starts to freeze. Any ideas? Is there a known problem with trees in web forms? Thanks

At the root of my tree is a patient (I work in the health care industry) and then for that patient there are clinic visits, surgeries, etc (there are 16 nodes at this level). and under each of these are dates when the visits occured (there can be an unlimited number of nodes at this level). This is some of my code for populating the tree:
if :GLOBAL.patient_seq is not null then
-- turn the tree on
set_item_property('tree_block.tree_item', ENABLED, PROPERTY_TRUE);
set_item_property('tree_block.tree_item', NAVIGABLE, PROPERTY_TRUE);
lv_tree_id := find_item('TREE_BLOCK.TREE_ITEM');
--refresh the tree back to it's original state from the database
Ftree.Set_Tree_Property(lv_tree_id,
     Ftree.RECORD_GROUP,
     FIND_GROUP('TREE_GROUP'));
-- create the clinic visits branch
wcchn_tree_items_pkg.get_visits(lv_visit_table, :global.patient_seq);
for lv_counter in 1.. lv_visit_table.count loop
lv_site := wcchn_locations_pkg.get_location_code(lv_visit_table(lv_counter).site);
create_visit_node( lv_visit_table(lv_counter).visit_date || ' - ' || lv_site,
     lv_tree_id,
lv_visit_table(lv_counter).seq_nr);
end loop;
Below is the procedure referred to in the above segment of code:
PROCEDURE CREATE_VISIT_NODE (pi_date IN VARCHAR2, pi_tree_id IN ITEM, pi_seq IN NUMBER) IS
lv_return_value NUMBER;

else

Mouse navigations problem with Sun Java 1.5.0_*

Hello gurus,
We need to move from JInitiator to Sun Java Plugin; according to the Forms10g Client Platform Support (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10gR2/clientsod_forms10gR2.html) one of the certified version for Forms 10.1.2.0.2 of the the Sun Java Plugin is 1.5.0_06 and Internet Explorer 6.0, we have tested also SJPI 1.5.0_09 and we get the same mouse navigation problem reported in the following Oracle Forum threads.
Mouse navigation don't work with Java Plugin.
Mouse navigation don't work with Java Plugin.
Forms 10gR2, Sun Java 1.5.0_06 gives mouse problems
Forms 10gR2, Sun Java 1.5.0_06 gives mouse problems
Does anybody know a solution to this problem?
Any help will be really appreciated.
Regards,
Victor.

You need to use 1.5.0_12 or newer. The client SOD is not up-to-date on this specific point. A lot of navigation problems was fixed in this very release.
The Management team should change this in the client SOD, wonder why they still refer to 1.5.0_06. For Applications, the first 1.5.0 to be certified was _12.
Also make sure, that you are using the latest Patch 3 for 10.1.2 (10.1.2.3). This patch also contains fixes for a lot of these wellknown issues.
Hope this helps,
Jacob

You cannot drop components on plain HTML documents, only web form

Hi,
I have created new page, from page navigation->new page. Added output text components, buttons,text fields, dropdowns, etc. Next day, all the components just disappeared from the JSP page but the JSP source file still has the all the outputText, selectOneMenu,inputText,etc.
I tried to add new components again but it wouldn't let me to add, instead displays a message "You cannot drop components on plain HTML documents, only web form".
So I deleted the page, recreated whole page from scratch, after few hours the very same problem.
I deleted the page again and created the new page from scratch, wrote java code which was working absolutely fine. Next day its the same problem again.
I am fed up with creating the same page again and again, wasting lots of time. Can some one please tell me whats going on?
I did search the forum, few people reported the same problem but couldn't the find solution.
Can some pleaseeeee tell me whats going on.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
cheers

Hi runaK,
thanks for getting back to me.
Unfortunately, the link dint solve my problem.
I have already read this link and the cpu time is not my problem( I mean not highest priority for now, I will have look in to it once I solve the drag and drop problem).
I haven't used getContext() so its not the source of the problem. I din't quite understand the workarround suggested by Eric. Could you please explain in detail about the workarround? and how to do it?
thanks

Hi,
The multiblock form has a control block having non-key-navigable, non-mouse-navigable buttons. Suppose data is entered into the other data-blocks, and the KEY-COMMIT acion is invoked using the key-combination(CTRL+S), the data is saved. There is no problem now in mouse navigation. But, when after the data entry, the "Save" button(of the control block, mentioned earlier) is pressed, the data is saved...but further, the mouse navigation is totally getting disallowed..
Is the problem we are facing, due to the property settings we have done. Or, need any additional patchset be installed..
Help please..
Thank you,
Ranjith..

Audit Intersection fails from Web Form

We have an HFM 9.3.1 application successfully integrated with FDM 9.3.1, in that when navigating to a base level intersection, which has been loaded by FDM, the audit intersection option allows a drill-through analysis to the correct FDM application / location.
This feature works perfectly OK from right clicking a grid intersection and selecting Audit Intersection. However, if a web form is used to display the same intersection and the user selects Audit Intersection the following error message is generated :-
System Error "The signed on token is no longer valid" the web screen also displays an error stating there are localization errors and that the action is empty or missing.
Repeatedly performing the same operation from data grids and web forms results in the web form audit always failing and grid audit always succeeding.
Looking at the URL parameters I can see that the two sets of actions sent to generate the FDM audit page are indeed different
I have included the source "action" parameter from the IntersectionSummarybyLocation web page. (With line breaks to aid readability)

It would appear that the format for characters is different and the SSO_TOKEN is differrent (although this maybe by design since the calling locations are different).
I have checked that the Grid and Web Form operations are calling the same web page encoding of Unicode (UTF-8).
Anybody got any idea why FORM functionality is failing to display the Audit Intersection?
Kind regards
Colin

Applied Patches 9.3.1.1 thru to 9.3.1.4 (latest).
Problem resolved. Audit Intersections now work from both Grid and Forms.
Incidentally, both "Action" parameters from Grid and Form are now identical including the SSO_Token.
