Problem with window size [message #320576]

Hi experts,

After the migration of our application from Forms 4.5 to Forms 6i, some windows don't have the height that we specify in Forms Designer and the windows are truncated. The problem is not systematic: sometimes the windows have the correct size and sometimes not. Do you have an idea about the cause of this problem?

We try to set the window's size in the program, using the command "resize_window" or "SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY('FENETRE1',WINDOW_STATE,MAXIMIZE)", and we use the command SYNCHRONIZE and SHOW_VIEW, but the problem always exists.

Our application works on Client/server environnement with OS HP or OS Linux, not in web environnement.

Thanks for your help.

You need to use the 'forms_mdi_window' as in "Set_Window_Property(FORMS_MDI_WINDOW, WINDOW_STATE, MINIMIZE)".

Also look at http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/Forms_FAQ

We set the instruction "SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY(FORMS_MDI_WINDOW,WINDOW_STATE,MAXIMIZE)" in the trigger When-New-Form-Instance but it doesn't work.
The problem exists on Linux but not in HP. Could it be a problem in the environnement of Forms execution?

Is Linux and HP your server OS or your user OS?

Are you running Client-Server or 3-tier?

I suggest that you try the following and see if it changes the behaviour. Place a 'pause' command after the 'Set_Window_Property' command and maybe a 'synchronize' command as well before the 'pause'. Perhaps you have another command further down the stream of commands which is overriding the 'maximise', for example, a window_hide / window_show and the 'pause' will let you see whether the command is working AT THAT TIME but is being reset by something later.

our server is on Linux and our client may be on Linux or HP. I think we are running Client-Server. I don't know 3-tier.

I try your suggestion. With 'pause' command, I hadn't the problem after many tests. The 'pause' command seems to stop the problem from happening.

Is it possible that the window manager (we use mwm) is occasionally so fast that it create the mwm window before the canvas is displayed and it don't have the real size of the canvas? It will explain what the problem is not systematic.

I don't know 'mwm'.

Replace some of the 'pause' commands with 'synchronize'. This will help 'slow' things down if speed is the actual problem.
