Displaying a Content Canvas' Stacked Views in the Layout Editor
To display stacked views assigned to a content canvas' window:
- In the Object Navigator, under the Canvases
node, double-click the content canvas' object icon.
- In the Layout Editor, choose View | Stacked Views.
Oracle Forms displays the Stacked Canvases dialog, which shows all
stacked canvases assigned to the same window as the content canvas currently
displayed in the Layout Editor.
- Select the stacked canvas(es) that you want to display in the Layout Editor.
(Deselect those you do not want to display).
- To select a stacked canvas, click it in the Stacked Canvases dialog. Control-click
multiple stacked canvases to display them on the same content canvas.
- To deselect a stacked canvas already displayed on the content canvas, Control-click
the selected stacked canvas in the Stacked Canvases dialog.
- When you display a stacked canvas this way, you see exactly what the end
user will see at runtime. That is, you see only the portion of the stacked
canvas that is within its view, as defined by the Viewport Width and Viewport
Height properties.
- Once the stacked canvas is displayed, you can change its properties in the
Layout Editor by manipulating it graphically, as follows:
- Move the stacked canvas to change its Viewport X Position and Viewport Y
Position properties.
- Resize the stacked canvas to change its Viewport Width and Viewport Height
properties. Resizing the view this way does not change the size of the canvas,
only the size of the view. To resize
the canvas, set the Width and Height canvas properties in the Property Palette.
Only items and boilerplate that are completely on the canvas will display
at runtime, even if the view is larger than the canvas.
- For a stacked canvas with scroll bars, scroll the canvas to change the initial
runtime settings for the Viewport X Position on Canvas and Viewport Y Position
on Canvas properties.
