A PopList PJC with same C/S behaviour

Purpose

This PJC is a workaround to the issue defined in the bug 3867157 on Metalink.

It allows having the same behaviour on the Web that the one it has on the C/S version. The When-List-Changed trigger would fire only when the mouse is clicked or when the Enter key is pressed, but not when the end-user types a letter to filter the list.

It is a PJC so that you do not need any Bean Area. Just fill the Implementation Class of your existing List Item.



The Java code

     PopList.java

The implementation class of the List Item

     oracle.forms.fd.PopList

The methods you can set



SET_CASE_SENSITIVE

By default, the poplist is case sensitive, but you can set it not sensitive.

Set_Custom_Property( 'BL.BT', 1, 'SET_CASE_SENSITIVE','false');

  SET_LOG

Set_Custom_Property( 'BL.BT', 1, 'SET_LOG','true');

The sample dialog


     . Download the poplist.zip file
     . Unzip the file
     . copy the poplist.jar file in the <ORACLE_HOME>/forms/java directory
     . Edit your /forms/server/formsweb.cfg file to add the poplist.jar to both archive and archive_jini tags.
     . Open the poplist.fmb module (Oracle Forms 9.0.2) the first List-Item uses the PJC, so that you can compare with the second that is a standard List-Item.
     . Compile all and run the module
