Using EDIT_TEXTITEM to Display an Editor

The EDIT_TEXTITEM procedure invokes the editor associated with the current text item in the form (the default editor, a user-named editor, or the current system editor). The following example navigates to a text item and then displays the editor associated with that item.

Go_Item('cust.comments');
Edit_TextItem;

The input focus must be in a text item for EDIT_TEXTITEM to execute successfully. If the input focus is in any other type of item, Oracle Forms displays the message:

FRM-41026: Item does not understand operation.

EDIT_TEXTITEM has optional parameters that allow you to specify dynamic size and position coordinates:

Edit_Textitem(x, y, width, height);
