Using the Default Editor

Unlike user-named editors, you do not have to create or attach the default editor; it is built into every form and can be invoked from any text item.

When the default editor is invoked at runtime, Oracle Forms determines its display size and position dynamically based on the size and position of the text item from which the editor was invoked.

To modify the default editor's display size and position:

  1. In the Object Navigator, select the desired text item.
  2. In the Property Palette, set the Editor property to <Null> by selecting <Null> from the Editor property poplist.
  3. Specify the editor's display coordinates by setting the Editor X Position and Editor Y Position properties.
