About Modules

Oracle Forms applications consist of individual application components called modules. There are four types of modules in Oracle Forms:

Form module
 
A collection of objects and code routines. Objects that may be defined in a form module include windows, text items (fields), check boxes, buttons, message boxes, Lists of values, and blocks of PL/SQL code called triggers.
 
Menu module
 
A collection of menus (a main menu object and any number of submenu objects) and menu item commands that together make up an application menu.
 
PL/SQL Library module 
 
A collection of user-named procedures, functions, and packages that can be called from other modules in the application.
 
 
Object Library module 
 
A collection of objects that can be used to develop applications.

You can build a single application from multiple form, menu, and library modules as needed. Modules can be saved to the file system or the database, and can be converted between binary, text, and compiled executable formats.
