Creating a Canvas
To create a canvas in the Object Navigator:
- In the Object Navigator, click the Canvases
node, and Click the Create button
in the toolbar.
Oracle Forms creates a new canvas, and gives it a default name, such as
CANVAS4.
- Click the canvas' object icon, and choose Tools
| Property Palette.
- In the Property Palette, under the General node,
set the Canvas Type property to the desired type.
Note: The default canvas type is Content. For
a content canvas, the properties that appear under the Stacked View heading
do not apply.
- Set the Window property to the window in which you want to display the canvas.
By default, new canvases are assigned to the first window Listed under the
Windows node in the Object Navigator.
Note: To display the new canvas in the Layout
Editor, double-click the canvas' object icon in the Object Navigator.
