Hello everybody,
I am new to using PJC and JavaBeans in forms. I have on my laptop Oracle Developer Suite 10g (10.1.2.0.1) and Forms Demos version 9.0.4.2.0 downloaded from OTN (the demos versin has nothing to do with developer's or database's version). I studied InfoButton PJC application (buttons that show tool-tips at mouse-over).
Now, I want to create in one of my old forms such a button. I followed exactly the steps of the demo, that is:
1. I created a form with a button TEST_BUTTON for which I set the Implementation Class property to oracle.forms.demos.enhancedItems.InfoButton.
2. On the form's canvas I also created a text item named INFO with the following properties:
X Position = 255
Y Position = 107
Width = 100
Height = 100
3. At form level, I created the trigger WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE in order to set the button's properties as follows:
SET_CUSTOM_PROPERTY('CONTROL.TEST_BUTTON',1,'INFOBUTTON_TEXT','This is the tooltip text');
SET_CUSTOM_PROPERTY('CONTROL.TEST_BUTTON',1,'INFOBUTTON_FIELDPOS','288,128');
4. I created in my formsweb.cfg file a configuration section for my form.
[pjc_demos_dana]
pageTitle=OracleAS Forms Services - InfoButton Demo Dana
IE=jinitiator
baseHTMLJInitiator=demobasejini.html
archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jar,/forms/formsdemo/jars/infobutton.jar
form=pjclaunch_dana.fmx
width=675
height=480
separateFrame=false
splashScreen=no
lookAndFeel=oracle
colorScheme=blue
background=/formsdemo/images/blue.gif
When executing the form, the button has round margins as said in the documentation; at mouse over the cursor takes the form of a small hand but there is no tool tip. I receive no errors, only that it doesn't show the tool tip.
I don't understand why it's not working, what I did wrong ...
When setting the 'INFOBUTTON_FIELDPOS' property - input parameter X,Y - the documentation says: "This property should be set to a string containing a X,Y comma separated pair providing the location of the target field in pixels relative to the top left hand corner of the window. The X,Y pair simply has to define a point anywhere within the target field, it doesn't have to exactly define the corner".
What is the target field? The text item I created at step 2)? The documentation is not clear here ...
Any help will be appreciated.
Daniela

Please share with us what you did to get the text field tooltip to work. Concerning the Demo Forms, please review the documentation, make sure that you have palced the form anf other objects in the right directories, make sure that you don't have objects with the same name in OTHER directories, in the various PATH statements in the registry make sure that in the FORMS entries that YOUR directories appear to the left of the default Oracle directories but in the JAVA entries that YOUR directories appear to the right of the default Oracle directories.
