Share Library with Form Property
Description
Forms that have identical libraries attached can share library package data. (For more information, see the data_mode parameter for the CALL_FORM, OPEN_FORM, and NEW_FORM Built-ins, under Related Topics above.) The Share Library with Form property enables menus associated with the forms to share the library package data as well.
Applies to menus
Set Oracle Forms
Default
Yes
Usage Notes
- If two forms share an object, and both forms are open at design time and you make changes to the object in Form A, those changes will not be seen in Form B until the changes are first saved by Form A, and Form B is then closed and reopened.
- If you use OPEN_FORM to open a form in a different database session, you cannot share library data with the form or its associated menus. Attempts to share library data by setting the property to Yes will be ignored.
