Creating a Text Item
To create a text item:
- In the Object Navigator, click the plus icon
beside the desired block node.
Oracle Forms expands the block node and displays its subnodes.
- Click the Items node.
- Click the Create button
in the toolbar.
A new item with a default name is inserted under the Items
node.
- Double-click the object icon next to the newly created item to display the
Property Palette.
- Under the General node, set the Item Type property
to Text Item. (This is the default setting when a new item is created.)
- Under the Physical node, set the Canvas property
to the name of the desired canvas.
Note: To display an item at runtime, you must assign it to a canvas.
