Hi,

the key bindings of my app does not work, i.e F7 enter Query, etc. ctrl-k show very limited number of keys enabled

do i have to create a resource file for keys like KEY-COMMIT,
WHEN-MOUSE-DOUBLECLICK ?

could not find this anywhere else, thanks

Search this forum for 'key mapping'. There are a few threads that may assist you.

I think you will find that F1 is Enter-Query, F2 Execute-Query.

Which version of Forms are you using and in what environment?

Hi Dave,

the form was written in 6i and i am re-compiling (and learning) in 10g. key F1 F2 does not work as you said, and the forms help did not help me either.

my problem is that my block trigger do not fire when i press the keys for it. i.e. F7 for enter-query

the oracle default menu has icons for those functions and they work. however i am using custom menus

Did you recompile your menus?

Use Ctrl-K and attach a snapshot of the resulting window please. Does Ctrl-F1 give you anything?

Hi, I recompiled the menues/forms and also both passed the forms migration program (IDS), however i don't think the problem is with the menues. I think the problem is that block triggers are not attached to their usyual keys. i.e. key-commit == F10.

ctrl-k return a 4-5n lines of key binding like "f5 clear"

the form is running on the oc4j instance from developer.

thanks for your help

found it.

it may have to do with the fact that i use FireFox rather than IE.
the answer is in forms90 directory. there are lots .res files there.

I needed the keybindings in fmrpcweb.res and copied them to fmrweb.res


thanks
