Hi . would like to ask a question.. about List.
Usually whether we fill the list programmatically or at design time with elements..
It looks like a Single Table with Borders around. .and not in between to seperate each element.

IS there any property in Oracle Forms.. which makes it like a grid type structure.
A line or Border to seperate elements as well ..

BR

Need some very early replies.. /

BR >.thanx alot for answering such simple question but i need it as this is the damn req of the company..

I have one solution which is to place text boxes close to each other so that it looks like a T List
with borders between the elemnts..

but it would be give if T List itself offers such things

BR

I don't think so.

Other gurus - please give your opinion.

well mr. orcl_dba

go to layout editor, select ur tlist and then from the above menu click the Underline button and then run the form...

it will seperate the elements by underlining them
regards,
Asim.

Do you mean the 'font style'?

Hi i m extremely sory gentlemen but this is not the solution i m looking forward to.
Suppose if you vertically align 5, 6 text boxes very very close to each other, it also shows a style of list..

i want that style...

Is it possible in Forms 6i. Do we need to have any Active X control for that purpose...

IF yes then it will be good otherwise i have to place textboxes n try using scroll bar to those text boxes so that they look like a grid, but i dont know how to use scroll bars for 5 or 6 text boxes.. mean how to group them. .


Hoope you ppl get more clear pitctureo f the requirements..

This is a stupid requiremtent asked by the management , and i have to respond to these non techinical ppl .

BR

With some users I would tell them 'if you want a VB look and feel then use VB, do you want the extra code written or do you want me to spend all my time time making it look instead of doing things'.

You could make a new canvas and window with the fields and scroll bar just the way you want it and when they press the LOV you pop-up the window, they scroll and select. I'm not sure how you want to return from this field - you could have two buttons, okay and cancel, just below these extra fields. Define these fields on another block (query only) so that you don't muck up your main block's logic.
