Specifies the name of the window that should display the Form Builder console. The console includes the status line and message line, and is displayed at the bottom of the window.
On Microsoft Windows, the console is always displayed on the MDI application window, rather than on any particular window in the form; however, you must still set this property to the name of a form window to indicate that you want the console to be displayed.
Menu Source property
Menu Source allows you to specify the location of the .MMX run file when you attach a custom menu to a form module. Form Builder loads the .MMX file at form startup.
Menu Module property
Specifies the name of the menu to use with this form.
Initial Menu property
Specifies the name of the individual menu in the menu module that Form Builder should use as the main, or top-level, menu for this invocation.
Defer Required Enforcement property
It specifies whether Form Builder should defer enforcement of the required item attribute until the record is validated.
This property applies only when item-level validation is in effect. By default, when an item has required set to true, Form Builder will not allow navigation out of the item until a valid value is entered. This behavior will be in effect if you set Defer Required Enforcement to No.
If you set Defer Required Enforcement to Yes or 4.5, you allow the end user to move freely among the items in the record, even if they are null, postponing enforcement of the required attribute until validation occurs at the record level.
When Defer Required Enforcement is set to 4.5, null-valued required items are not validated when navigated out of, and the item's Item Is Valid property is unchanged. However, the WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger (if any) does fire. If it fails (raises Form_Trigger_Failure), the item is considered to have failed validation and Form Builder will issue an error. If the trigger ends normally, processing continues normally. If the item value is still null when record-level validation occurs later, Form Builder will issue an error at that time.
Mouse Navigation Limit property
Determines how far outside the current item an end user can navigate with the mouse.
Form (The default): Allow end users to navigate to any item in the current form.
Block: Allows end users to navigate only to items that are within the current block.
Record: Allows end users to navigate only to items that are within the current record.
Item: Prevents end users from navigating out of the current item. This setting prevents end users from navigating with the mouse at all.
First Navigation Block property
Specifies the name of the block to which Form Builder should navigate at form startup and after a CLEAR_FORM operation.
Current Record Visual Attribute Group property
Specifies the named visual attribute used when an item is part of the current record. This property can be set at the form, block, or item level, or at any combination of levels. If you specify named visual attributes at each level, the item-level attribute overrides all others, and the block-level overrides the form-level.
Validation Unit property
The validation unit defines the maximum amount of data that an operator can enter in the form before Form Builder initiates validation.
Interaction Mode property
Interaction mode dictates how a user can interact with a form during a query. If Interaction Mode is set to Blocking, then users are prevented from resizing or otherwise interacting with the form until the records for a query are fetched from the database. If set to Non-Blocking, then end users can interact with the form while records are being fetched.
Non-blocking interaction mode is useful if you expect the query will be time-consuming and you want the user to be able to interrupt or cancel the query. In this mode, the Forms runtime will display a dialog that allows the user to cancel the query.
You cannot set the interaction mode programmatically, however, you can obtain the interaction mode programmatically using the GET_FORM_PROPERTY built-in.
Maximum Query Time property
Provides the option to abort a query when the elapsed time of the query exceeds the value of this property.
Maximum Records Fetched property
Specifies the number of records fetched when running a query before the query is aborted.
Isolation Mode property
Specifies whether or not transactions in a session will be serializable. If Isolation Mode has the value serializable, the end user sees a consistent view of the database for the entire length of the transaction, regardless of updates committed by other users from other sessions. If the end user queries and changes a row, and a second user updates and commits the same row from another session, the first user sees Oracle error (ORA-08177: Cannot serialize access.).
Coordinate System property
Specifies whether object size and position values should be interpreted as character cell values, or as real units (centimeters, inches, pixels, or points).
Character: Sets the coordinate system to a character cell-based measurement. The actual size and position of objects will depend on the size of a default character on your particular platform.
Real: Sets the coordinate system to the unit of measure specified by the Real Unit property (centimeters, inches, pixels, or points.)
Changing the coordinate system for the form changes the ruler units displayed on Form Editor rulers, but does not change the grid spacing and snap-points settings.
Use 3D Controls property
On Microsoft Windows, specifies that Form Builder display items with a 3-dimensional, beveled look.
When Use 3D Controls is set to Yes, any canvas that has Visual Attribute Group set to Default will automatically be displayed with background color grey.
In addition, when Use 3D Controls is set to Yes, the bevel for each item automatically appears lowered, even if an item-level property is set, for example, to raised.
Form Horizontal Toolbar Canvas property
On Microsoft Windows, specifies the canvas that should be displayed as a horizontal toolbar on the MDI application window. The canvas specified must have the Canvas Type property set to Horizontal Toolbar.
Form Horizontal Toolbar Canvas property
On Microsoft Windows, specifies the toolbar canvas that should be displayed as a vertical toolbar on the MDI application window. The canvas specified must have the Canvas Type property set to Vertical Toolbar.
Direction property
This property is used to define the test justification for all items.
Value Description
Default Direction based on the property shown in the table.
Right-To-Left Direction is right-to-left.
Left-To-Right Direction is left-to-right.
