Here is an example of how you can design a kind of "Web" menu with the LAF HTML Map feature

 

 

Each menu option is symbolized by an image part to render this modern look and feel.

For the LAf developers that want to have transparent with no border buttons, I see that some people try to use the FunButton PJC (oracle.forms.fd.FunButton), that is not designed to do it. The FunButton has been created to render buttons that have a non-rectangular shape.


If you want to have a nice iconic button with no border and transparent background, set the Forms Push Button Implementation Class to : oracle.forms.fd.LAF_XP_Button, the use the following code:

  -- Transparent iconic EXIT button --
 Set_Custom_Property( 'LAF_BLOCK.PB1',1, 'SET_IMAGE', '/target-32.gif');
 Set_Custom_Property( 'LAF_BLOCK.PB1',1, 'SET_BACKGROUND_COLOR', 'null');
 Set_Custom_Property( 'LAF_BLOCK.PB1',1, 'SET_BORDER', 'false');

Tiny update of the LAF project. This 1.7.1.1 version sligtly improves the Image Spinner feature by consuming less memory. a new IMAGE_SPINNER_SET_KEEP_SIZE method can be used not to keep the original image size if you don't intend to save them later in the database.
Even though this component has be created to behave like an image carousel, it is not designed to handle hundreds of images and/or megabytes. If you intend to load it with a large amount of images, think to increase the JRE memory by updating your launching HTML file (probably the /forms/server/basejpi.htm):


<PARAM NAME="java_arguments" value="-Xms128m -Xmx256m">
...
java_arguments="-Xms128m -Xmx256m"

 

A bar progress has also be added when you drop many files to the component.

New DrawLAF Java Bean "Image Spinner" component.


You can display multiple images in the same component like a carousel, add images to the spinner from the client machine (JAR or file system), the Internet, and the database. You can also populate it by Drag&Dropping files from you file system, then save the new loaded images to the database.

For once, this Forms entry is not about Java Beans or PJC, but only 100% Forms standard !

This new article show how you can select/unselect several records in a table-block, without any extra item in the block, but only a PL/SQL collection stored and managed in a PLL's package.
