Creating a Toolbar Canvas for the MDI Window

To create an MDI toolbar canvas:

  1. In the Object Navigator, click the Canvases node, and Click Create in the toolbar.
  2. Choose Tools | Property Palette.
  3. In the Property Palette, under the General node, set the Canvas Type property to Horizontal Toolbar or Vertical Toolbar.
  4. In the Object Navigator, under the Forms node, double-click the current form module's object icon to display the Property Palette.
  5. In the Property Palette, under the Physical node, set the Form Horizontal Toolbar Canvas and/or Form Vertical Toolbar Canvas properties to the name of the toolbar you created in Step 1.

    Note: When you create a canvas toolbar to display on the MDI window, Oracle Forms will ignore the window assignment for that canvas (specified by its Window property setting) at runtime, and will automatically map the toolbar canvas to the MDI window instead.

  6. Add items and boilerplate to the new toolbar canvas as you would to a content or stacked canvas.

    Note: Use of navigable and mouse-navigable items in an MDI toolbar canvas is not supported.
