Creating a Toolbar Canvas for the MDI Window
To create an MDI toolbar canvas:
- In the Object Navigator, click the Canvases
node, and Click Create in the toolbar.
- Choose Tools | Property Palette.
- In the Property Palette, under the General node,
set the Canvas Type property to Horizontal Toolbar or Vertical Toolbar.
- In the Object Navigator, under the Forms node,
double-click the current form module's object icon to display the Property
Palette.
- 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.
- 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.
