Usage Notes
- The following settings are valid for this property:
- Same Record The default navigation style. A Next Item operation
from the block's last navigable item moves the input focus to the first
navigable item in the block, in that same record.
- Change Record A Next Item operation from the block's last navigable
item moves the input focus to the first navigable item in the block, in
the next record. If the current record is the last record in the
block and there is no open query, Oracle Forms creates a new record.
If there is an open query in the block (the block contains queried records),
Oracle Forms retrieves additional records as needed.
- Change Block A Next Item operation from the block's last navigable
item moves the input focus to the first navigable item in the first record
of the next block. Similarly, a Previous Item operation from the first
navigable item in the block moves the input focus to the last item in
the current record of the previous block. The Next Navigation Block and
Previous Navigation Block properties can be set to redefine a block's
"next" or "previous" navigation block.
