Where to find laf.jar (Forms look and feel project)

Hello Francois,
I´ve just downloaded the latest .zip-file (1343) but it seems to be corrupt. So I downloaded LAF_1342.zip which works fine. But where is the so often mentioned laf.jar ? The zip file contains laf_902.jar, laf_1012.jar and laf_10123.jar. Is there some renaming needed ? Let´s say renaming laf_1012.jar to laf.jar ?
When I run css_updater.fmb it fails with POST-QUERY-TRIGGER error ORA-6508.
It looks like I' m not allowed to use the PKG_LOOK_AND_FEEL even though laf.pll is attached and the program units are within the form, too.
Could you please give a hint ?
Regards Frank

Frank,
The zip file contains laf_902.jar, laf_1012.jar and laf_10123.jar. The number corresponds to the version of Forms Builder. So if you are working with Forms Builder 10.1.2 rename laf_1012.jar to laf.jar.
Is the laf.pll available in your forms path (default.env). Default the laf.pll is in another folder when you unzip the laf_1342.zip.
Did you include the laf.jar in the archive of the config file (formsweb.cfg).
Regards,
Mark

Oracle Forms Look and Feel project for Forms 6i

Hello everybody,
Recently I find a web site that introduce Oracle Forms Look and Feel project,
Oracle Forms Look and Feel project
http://sheikyerbouti.developpez.com/forms-pjc-bean/LAF/doc/Oracle_Forms_Look_and_Feel_project.htm
Can I use the PL/SQL library (laf.pll) , Java Beans and PJCs grouped in a jar file (laf.jar) for Oracle Forms 6i?
thx

Hi Francois,
I find one website mention the following,
"PL/SQL tables reside in the private PL/SQL area of the Oracle Server database instance; they are not available as client-side structures at this time. As a result, you cannot declare and manipulate PL/SQL tables in your Oracle Developer/2000 environment."
from http://www.unix.org.ua/orelly/oracle/prog2/ch10_01.htm#SQL2-CH-10-SECT-1

Implementing Forms look and feel into oracle 10g

hello, im using oracle 10.1.2.0.2
i've been trying to implement this look and feel project hours ago here are the steps that i followed:
# Copy the corresponding JAR file to your /forms/java directory. [copied it to C:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms\java\ and renamed it to laf.jar like mentioned in http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=693024 but copied also laf_1012.jar ]
# Update your /forms/server/formsweb.cfg file.
As it needs the Sun Java Plug-in instead of the Oracle JInitiator, you have to create a special section that uses the Sun Plug-in.
You also need to add the corresponding JAR file to the archive tag (not the archive_jini). [modified it to archive=frmall.jar,laf.jar, laf_1012.jar, i didnt know what to do with the Sun Java Plug-in but when i debug and run the oracle there is an icon that shows the java icon launched]
# Copy the forms.css file somewhere on your disk (by default, it is searched in the C:/ root directory). [done and i've put it in c:\]
# Compile the laf.pll PL/SQL library, then copy the pll.plx to one of the directories pointed by the FORMS_PATH variable.
*i've put the laf.pll in my C:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms as shown in the FORMS_PATH of the default.env
*tried to open the laf.pll from the oracle froms and reports, choosed Program -> Compile PL/SQL -> All, but errors like PKG_DB_LAF_LOV.PREPARE must be declared ...
*tried to compile it using f60gen module=laf.pll userid=Administrator/pass module_type=LIBRARY output_file=laf.plx batch=yes compile_all=SPECIAL but the f60gen is no where to be found
*i tried to replace f60gen by envshell.cmd from the $APPL_TOP but i cant find any environment variable called $APPL_TOP, i even searched the whole hard disk for envshell.cmd and couldnt find anything
Please help as this is the final step of implementation, waiting any response asap!

Forms Look And Feel

Hi
Is there any way to get rid of Oracle Logo on Forms Look And Feel?
Thanks
Isha

Here is another way to do this. At least i did this like described below.
1) Make a copy of ifrun60.exe
2) Run Borland Resource Workshop
3) Prepare your own icon and save it to disk
4) Open ifrun60.exe in Resource Workshop
5) Substitue the icon to that you saved previously
6) Save changed ifrun60.exe
7) Run ifrun60.exe and enjoy your new icon

Java form look and feel changed

Whenever I load a java form application now, it seems to have reverted back to some non-native form components e.g.
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/java/theme/theme.gif
I would prefer this to return to what it was originally and take on the appearance of a windows application. It may be something I have done in the code at one stage or another, but as it now affects all java applications it must be a global setting which has changed somewhere. Does anyone know where I can find this and change it back?
Thanks

Hi Gunja,
Thanks for your reply but it does not help. My problem is some of the YUI functionalities missing or not working properly after the Portal Component deployed to Portal.
For example, the YUI Overlay dialog box appears at the bottom right of screen but it is suppose to appear in the middle of screen. It work prefectly outside the Portal as a simple HTML page.
Any idea from any body?
Please advice.
Thanks,
HauChee

Hello,
I have spent a lot of time to indicate wherever I could that you don't have to ask questions about the LAF on this forum. You have two other different locations, a dedicated email and a dedicated forum.
At the first sight, it seems that you have not used the laf_10123.jar in your archive tag.
Thank you,

Creating an messagebox in forms with look and feel of Windows

I wanted to create an message box in my form with look and feel of windows.For this i used the package ORA.FFI...but i am getting an error....and i am not bale to clear it...the code is as follows
Package Specification: -
PACKAGE messagebox IS
/*Function message_box calls windows MessageBox function. */
FUNCTION message_box(plptext IN VARCHAR2,plpcaption IN VARCHAR2)
RETURN PLS_INTEGER;
END;
Package body : -
PACKAGE BODY messagebox IS
lh_window ORA_FFI.LIBHANDLETYPE;
fh_mb ORA_FFI.FUNCHANDLETYPE;
lh_forms ora_ffi.libHandleType;
/* Function i_mbx acts as the interface to the Messagebox
function in windows
FUNCTION i_mbx(funchandle IN ORA_FFI.FUNCHANDLETYPE,
plptext IN OUT VARCHAR2,
plpcaption IN OUT VARCHAR2)
RETURN PLS_INTEGER;
PRAGMA interface(C,i_mbx,11265);
FUNCTION message_box(plptext IN VARCHAR2,
plpcaption IN VARCHAR2)
RETURN PLS_INTEGER IS
ltext VARCHAR2(500) := plptext;
lcaption VARCHAR2(500) := plpcaption;
BEGIN
RETURN(i_mbx(fh_mb,ltext,lcaption));
END;
BEGIN
lh_window := ORA_FFI.LOAD_LIBRARY('d:\','DclMsgBox.dll');
fh_mb := ORA_FFI.REGISTER_FUNCTION(lh_window,'DclMsgBox',ORA_FFI.C_STD);
ORA_FFI.REGISTER_RETURN(fh_mb,ORA_FFI.C_CHAR_PTR);
ORA_FFI.REGISTER_RETURN(fh_mb,ORA_FFI.C_CHAR_PTR);
--ORA_FFI.REGISTER_RETURN(fh_mb,ORA_FFI.C_INT);
END;
Now when i call this function in When-New-Form-Instance as
declare
p number;
begin
p:=messagebox.message_box('hello','test');
end;
I had created an dll for message box and placed the .dll and .lib files in the d:\ of my system.
I get an error message when i run the app. The error is:
The instruction at "0x005a3b24" referenced memory at "0x00000006".The memory could not be "read".
Can anybody please tell me where have i gone wrong....

I agree the leather look is horrible. It's just not a reflection of the cutting edge modern design we have all got to love over the years. If it has to be there at least give us a choice of looks.
There is a word for this (not that one) - skeuomorph. Wikipedia defines this as 'a derivative object that retains ornamental design cues to a structure that was necessary in the original. Skeuomorphs may be deliberately employed to make the new look comfortably old and familiar'.
Common examples are found in audio software with pictures of actual knobs that you turn, as here; and the leather-bound tear-off look of calendar and contacts on the iPad is the same principle: the intention is to make it familiar and friendly to people who might otherwise be frightened off by a modern look because they are not used to modern technology. The whole concept and look of the iOS operating system is being brought into use on Macs for the same reason, to encourage non-tech-savvy people not to be frightened of them.
This is all very well in its way, but in these two particular cases the result is unfortunate, particularly for experienced users, and it really ought to be possible to choose between the looks (as you can with the Mail layouts), even if the skeuomorph is the default.

You had plenty of time to look at screenshots on the internet and read various blog posts about iOS 7.

Look and Feel Forms

please help me out...
i am working on oracle 6i forms ...so how can i change the look of forms like java or .net applications..
is there any tool or file so please share !!!!!
back end version -10g

Hi,
you can change the look and feel of the form using visual attributes,Or else just check the property palette of the canvas or window.Best thing is to check with F1, Form help. There you get lot of information.

"Unlike". iOS 7 doesnt display well on my 4S. iOS 6.1.3 should still be supported for older hardware. I think I shall me moving to Samsung Galaxy now. Was really hoping hte new iphone would get a bit larger.

Where does the JeelyBeans look and feel come from?

Where does the JellyBeans Swing look & feel come from that is used in

Nick -- Thanks for the kind words.
While we don't have plans to make the look and feel available outside of the IDE,
you may want to check out some of the other look and feel resources within the
Java community such as
www.javootoo.com
or
http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Programming/Languages/Java/Class_Libraries/Graphics/User_Interface_Classes/Look_and_Feels/?tc=1
We did use JDK 1.4 for Workshop and were very pleased with its performance and
other aspects.

There is a distinct interest in developing C# clients purely due to the
fact
that Swing doesnt perform and doesnt look good. JDK1.4 reportedly has
numerous performance improvents. What is missing is a good look and feel.
The Jelly Beans look and feel is quite good (I suspect that it is no
accident that its flat look is similar to Visual Studion .NET.).
I think that encouraging developers to remain with Java for GUI clients
can
only be good for Java and in turn J2EE as a whole. A pure java environment
would be much better than a deliberatly mixed environment. Java RMI is
much
simpler than SOAP, etc.
Aside from the ultruistic viewpoint, we would dearly like to use it in
our
Swing applications - perhaps we can stave off a turn to C# / .net clients.

Mapbuilder.jar: cannot initialize Look and Feel: null

When I try to start mapbuilder using java -jar mapbuilder.jar it crashes:
cannot initialize look and feel: null
error: java.lang.NullPointerException
Running under 64 bit Linux in a VNC session.
Anyone else seen this?
JAVA_HOME is set.

Try to use a java32 bit version (minimum jre 1.5 or later) and to give the complete path, I don't know a lot of Linux.

[Resuelto / Solved] Look And Feel (LAF)

Buenos días, tardes o noches muchachos! Explico un poco el tema: resulta que estoy usando un LAF (Look And Feel), de manera más específica Synthetica BlueLight Look and Feel http://www.javasoft.de/synthetica/themes/
pero cuando ejecuto por primera vez el código (prueba) me sale la típica ventana de Java y no se aplica por completo el estilo o tema que apliqué, por otro lado al aplicar un "dispose();" y ejecutar nuevamente el código se logra visualizar bien.
Entonces las preguntas son ¿Esto es por defecto? ¿Hay alguna solución? ¿Que me recomiendan hacer? , les dejo el código y una imagen por si lo necesitan.
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JMenuBar;
import Utilerias.Apariencia;
import componentes.CompMenu;
import componentes.CompMenuItem;
public class pruebaMenu extends JFrame implements ActionListener
   private JMenuBar     menuBarra;
   private CompMenu     menu;
   private CompMenuItem item;
   public pruebaMenu()
                             new Apariencia(Apariencia.SYNTHETICA_BLUE_LIGHT);
      menuBarra = new JMenuBar();
      setJMenuBar(menuBarra);
      menu = new CompMenu(menuBarra,"Menu_1");
      item = new CompMenuItem(menu,"Reynald0",this);
      this.setVisible(true);
      this.setBounds(200,200,400,300);
      setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
   public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent pE)
      if(pE.getSource().equals(item))
         System.out.println("El menu2");
         dispose();
         new pruebaMenu();
   public static void main(String[] args)
      new pruebaMenu();
De antemano MUCHAS gracias por su ayuda y tiempo! Un cordial saludo!

La solución es colocar
new Apariencia(Apariencia.SYNTHETICA_BLUE_LIGHT);
Antes de mandar a llamar el JFrame para que se apliquen los cambios, debe quedar así:
public static void main(String[] args)
      new Apariencia(Apariencia.SYNTHETICA_BLUE_LIGHT);
      new pruebaMenu();
