Question

Hide columns and Adjust Canvas in oracle forms

Oracle Forms, Oracle Forms Tab Canvas, Oracle Forms Canvas

Hi,

I need to adjust the canvas and show only the columns selected based on the number of columns selected from the previous screen.

screen 1
x - column 1 (checked or selected)
- column 2 (unchecked)
x - column 3 (checked or selected)

screen 2
column 1 - column 3

Any idea what forms built in should I use? or Perhaps sample code?

To adjust the canvas, you should use the SET_CANVAS_PROPERTY built-in, with one or more of the following properties:
-CANVAS_SIZE
-HEIGHT
-WIDTH

And for the columns, you could use the SET_ITEM_PROPERTY built-in, with some of the following properties:
-DISPLAYED
-POSITION
-VISIBLE

Please see Forms Help for specific details and examples.

If you have some specific questions about how to use these built-in procedures, feel free to post them here.
