Oracle 12 Webutil Spell check testing

@Michael Ferrante-Oracle

The code I have for spell check procedure is -

PROCEDURE SPELL_CHECK (ITEM_NAME IN VARCHAR2) IS 

 MY_APPLICATION CLIENT_OLE2.OBJ_TYPE; 

 MY_DOCUMENTS  CLIENT_OLE2.OBJ_TYPE; 

 MY_DOCUMENT  CLIENT_OLE2.OBJ_TYPE; 

 MY_SELECTION  CLIENT_OLE2.OBJ_TYPE; 

 GET_SPELL  CLIENT_OLE2.OBJ_TYPE; 

 MY_SPELL   CLIENT_OLE2.OBJ_TYPE; 

 ARGS   CLIENT_OLE2.LIST_TYPE; 

 SPELL_CHECKED VARCHAR2(4000); 

 ORIG_TEXT  VARCHAR2(4000); 

BEGIN 

 ORIG_TEXT := NAME_IN(ITEM_NAME); 

-- CREATE WORD.APPLICATION OBJECT 

 MY_APPLICATION := CLIENT_OLE2.CREATE_OBJ('WORD.APPLICATION');  

 CLIENT_OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(MY_APPLICATION, 'VISIBLE', FALSE); 

-- GET HANDLE FOR DOCUMENTS COLLECTION 

 MY_DOCUMENTS := CLIENT_OLE2.GET_OBJ_PROPERTY(MY_APPLICATION, 'DOCUMENTS'); 

-- ADD A NEW DOCUMENT TO THE DOCUMENTS COLLECTION 

 MY_DOCUMENT := CLIENT_OLE2.INVOKE_OBJ(MY_DOCUMENTS, 'ADD'); 

-- GET HANDLE FOR SELECTION OBJECT 

 MY_SELECTION := CLIENT_OLE2.GET_OBJ_PROPERTY(MY_APPLICATION, 'SELECTION'); 

-- INSERT THE TEXT FIELD INTO DOCUMENT 

 CLIENT_OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(MY_SELECTION, 'TEXT', ORIG_TEXT); 

-- GET HANDLE FOR ACTIVE DOCUMENT  

 GET_SPELL := CLIENT_OLE2.GET_OBJ_PROPERTY(MY_APPLICATION, 'ACTIVEDOCUMENT'); 

-- INVOKE SPELL CHECKER 

 CLIENT_OLE2.INVOKE(GET_SPELL, 'CHECKSPELLING'); 

-- Added to handle a cancel request.  

 CLIENT_OLE2.INVOKE(MY_SELECTION,'WholeStory');  

 CLIENT_OLE2.INVOKE(MY_SELECTION,'Copy');  

-- GET CHECKED TEXT FROM DOCUMENT 

 SPELL_CHECKED := CLIENT_OLE2.GET_CHAR_PROPERTY(MY_SELECTION, 'TEXT'); 

-- REFORMAT RETURN TEXT TO DISPLAY CORRECTLY IN FORMS 

 SPELL_CHECKED := substr(replace(SPELL_CHECKED,chr(13),chr(10)), 1, length(SPELL_CHECKED)); 

-- COPY NEW TEXT IN THE FORM 

 COPY(SPELL_CHECKED,ITEM_NAME); 

-- CLOSE THE DOCUMENT WITHOUT SAVING 

 ARGS := CLIENT_OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;  

 CLIENT_OLE2.ADD_ARG(ARGS, 0);  

 CLIENT_OLE2.INVOKE(MY_DOCUMENT, 'CLOSE',ARGS); 

 CLIENT_OLE2.DESTROY_ARGLIST(ARGS);  

-- RELEASE THE OLE OBJECTS 

 CLIENT_OLE2.RELEASE_OBJ(MY_SELECTION); 

 CLIENT_OLE2.RELEASE_OBJ(GET_SPELL); 

 CLIENT_OLE2.RELEASE_OBJ(MY_DOCUMENT); 

 CLIENT_OLE2.RELEASE_OBJ(MY_DOCUMENTS); 

 CLIENT_OLE2.INVOKE(MY_APPLICATION, 'QUIT'); 

 CLIENT_OLE2.RELEASE_OBJ(MY_APPLICATION);   

END;

----------------

Then I have a button to invoke the spell check procedure is -

If NAME_IN (:system.cursor_item) IS NOT NULL Then

 spellcheck_MSWord (:system.cursor_item);

Else

 message ('No text in field.');

End If;

---------------------

Please let me know if there is anything in the code which is making the spell check window appear in background and not in the IE window.

Thank you !

I have download and installed Java 8 291 32-bit, still no progress. Spell check window still appears in background rather on IE window.

I would have to try Activate Method and change the code.

I have downloaded frmsal.jar on my workstation, and tried to run fsal using Command prompt.

Here is the snap shot when I tried to run -

Any further help with FSAL would be appreciated.

Thank you !

Is there a work around solution without upgrading from .3 to .4 ?

All we want is for the spell check which is appearing in background to be appeared upfront on the IE window, which we click 'spell_check' button.

This has been a huge request from our end users to be used. I do not think, we have any plan on upgrading yet.

Webutil installation, testing did already took a lot of months for us. We are stuck at this very last step.
