Declare
 LC$Menu  Varchar2(32000);
Begin
 LC$Menu := '<main>
    <label>Machines</label>
    <menu>
    <label>Cars</label>

    </menu>
    </main>' ;
    Set_Custom_Property('BLOCK.TEXT_ITEM', 1, 'SET_MENU', LC$Menu);
End;

The content of a complete sub-menu must be written on the same single line between <smenu> and </smenu> tags.

e.g. :
<smenu><label>Japaneese</label><item>Toyota Prius</item></smenu>

Only values included between <item> and </item> tags are real values you can use to populate the Text Item.

• Set the border style

• Set the trace to the Java Console

Set_Custom_Property('BLOCK.TEXT_ITEM', 1, 'SET_LOG', 'true');

• there is Set_LOV_Column_Property to change column's width and title but there is no any Get_LOV_Column_Property;

• get how many columns exists in LOV:

• get column's width and title:

• get actual size of the LOV:
