There is a java bean for this.

We (Oracle) greatly appreciate everyone's suggestions.  Please keep them coming.  However, let's please not get hung up on a single topic. If you have suggestions please make them.  If you would like to discuss, in details someone's suggestion, please start a new thread.

Regarding the idea of a responsive GUI,  this likely could also be done in pl/sql.  In fact, I'd almost bet that a mostly generic PLSQL library could be created that could be attached to a form and do the job without the need for code change to the existing form other than the addition of a WHEN-WINDOW-RESIZE trigger.  Don't forget about the applet parameter dynamicLayout as it might be needed for this PLSQL project to work without killing the network.

Maybe we could start a challenge to the community to see who could come up with something like this first.  Your example might be selected for inclusion into a white paper posted on the Oracle Forms product page

Here's a feature suggestion I like, OAM (SSO) support with FSAL.  Anyone interested in that one?  How about launching FSAL from the Builder instead of a browser?  Would that be interested?

Again, thank you all for your suggestions - keep them coming.  Just remember that we are trying to avoid breaking existing applications.  We know that the ability to upgrade is important to safely most of you.

Thank you Michael for your reply.

If you could explain in more details the below I would appreciate:

"Maybe we could start a challenge to the community to see who could come up with something like this first.  Your example might be selected for inclusion into a white paper posted on the Oracle Forms product page "

Could Oracle provide us with such pll. You have provided us with other pll in the past. If we try to make it we wont do it as good as you.

Note that this suggestion got some likes very quickly.

I think it would be nice to see examples from the community.  If we were to gather a few, I could create a paper that included them all and publish it on the Forms product page.  Of course the examples would need to be working examples and not just code snippets.

We currently do not have a library like this, but if no one is willing to share something here, maybe after this years conference rounds I will start to work on one.

That is nice.

Thank you for your attention

is there any consideration of Date picker on date type columns/fields like in Apex?

Here's a feature suggestion I like, OAM (SSO) support with FSAL.  Anyone interested in that one?  How about launching FSAL from the Builder instead of a browser?  Would that be interested?

this will be a great feature... off course developer want this to run/test first at their end

We provided a date picker long ago.  It was added to the Forms 10gR2 demos (actually, it may have been even earlier).  Here it is running in Forms 19.

great!! Michael Ferrante-Oracle thanks for you reply    so, Forms 19 is coming next...

will this work as i asked for? means i create a Form (as this demo) and Automatically just like in Apex it has Date Picker with Hiredate Text Item because its type is Date? i do not have to add myself Data block, Canvas and Program unit etc. especially for this purpose? is it or as we are using since 10g?

regards

@Michael Ferrante-Oracle Forms 19 and Window titel: Oracle Forms Services in Oracle Cloud ??

What's going on there ?

brilliant eyes ... nice catch

Dear Sir Michael Ferrante-Oracle; Will Oracle Forms-19 Will Run On Mobile /Tablets.

Ahmed,

I meant exactly what I said:  "We provided a date picker long ago.".  If you want a Date Picker, you must add one to your application.  We don't want to add such components natively to the Forms product as it will unnecessarily make the runtime fatter.  For organizations that don't want it, they shouldn't be forced to have the extra overhead.

Adding and customizing the "Calendar" demo is simple.

Richard,

why does clientDPI does not work for you? If you design your application for a basic Resolution you could use clientDPI as a magnifier.

See an example here:

SSO support with FSAL sounds like a must in any future release.Also better integration (especially in security issues) with BIP and Maps

As for the look and feel I'd like to use buttons having both label and icon and hoverable buttons.
