I have just updated the Image Item Java Bean, that allows the end user to drag and drop an image file directly to the Image component. A new feature - SETTOOLTIP() - has also been added to attach a tooltip to the Image Item.

This version comes with more methods concerning the (LAF_XP_TextArea) BIG Text features.
For those who don't know, the BIG Text feature allows the user to load/edit huge texts up to several megabytes, from the database as well as from a local machine text file.
You would like to modernize your Forms applications, approach SOA, Webservices, Mobiles...
At OraPlayer, they have the solutions.

This version comes with the table-block copy/paste from/to the clipboard feature. You can populate a table-block with the content of the clipboard (Excel, Word,...) and also send to the clipboard with the content of a table-block.
One of the features of the Look and Feel Project, is the capability to add items at runtime, and more particularly Image items, via the IMG_NEW method. As Google Charts are PNG images, it is easy to use a dynamic image to display them.
Only 3 instructions are required:
Declare
LC$Chart Varchar2(2000) := 'http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=v&chs=200x100&chd=t:100,80,60,30,25,20,10';
Begin
-- add image to the canvas --
Set_Custom_Property('LAF_BLOCK.LAF_BEAN',1,'IMG_NEW','img,10,80,450,230');
Set_Custom_Property('LAF_BLOCK.LAF_BEAN',1,'IMG_SET_BORDER','img,line' ) ;
-- populate image --
Set_Custom_Property('LAF_BLOCK.LAF_BEAN',1,'IMG_READIMGFILE'
,'img,' || replace(LC$Chart,',','%2C'));
End;
That's all !
I have added a new test_laf_gchart.fmb sample dialog in the current LAF_1772.zip if you want to play with.

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.
