Hi, anyone can help me??

I develop a form using Devloper9i AS, oracle 9i, Winxp
The problem is: I used icon button at design view ".fmb" but at run time this icon disappears in the file ".fmx"
After reading some topics covered this problem in this forum; The following steps are executed:

1-In regedit I put UI_ICON = c:\icon --where my gif icon file is located

2-At command prompts i type: C:\>jar -cvf icons.jar c:\icons
Then "ICONS.JAR" file is created on D:\Dev9i\jdk\bin

3- I Copy the file "ICONS.JAR" and past into D:\Dev9i\forms90\java

4- I modify the "FORMSWEB.CFG" as follow:
archive_jini=icons.jar,f90all_jinit.jar;
imageBase=codeBase

4- In "Registry.dat" I added the flowing line:
default.icons.iconpath= c:\icons

5- I modify the "orion-web.xml" .as follow:
<virtual-directory virtual-path="/html"
real-path="D:\Dev9i/tools/web90/html" />
is modified to :
<virtual-directory virtual-path="/ICONS"
real-path="C:\ICONS" />

6- In the property palette for the icon item and in the Icon Filename I put just the icon name
called "w_prev" Without any extension , any path...

In the end the problem is not resolved; anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong please?

Have a look at the entry by gonzpard at http://www.orafaq.com/forum/mv/msg/75610/439046/67467/#msg_439046

Perhaps you need the UI_ICON_EXTENSION=gif specified.

Have you tried placing the 'gif' icons in the directory that holds your forms?

Please check the 'case' of your icons and their deifinition in your form.

You are using just their name and not their extension or path aren't you? Please confirm.

Go to http://www.orafaq.com/forum/m/439114/67467/?srch=icon#msg_439114

Quote:

1) Edited this file....
D:\oracle\FRHome_1\forms\java\oracle\forms\registry\registry.dat,

default.icons.iconpath=icons/
default.icons.iconextension=gif

Note that the 'iconpath' is a name not a directory.

In 'orion-web.xml' duplicate the 'html' line and THEN modify it. I would recommend using lower case for your name and verify the case of the directory name.

hi Mr
i re executed the information u have sent.
recall; the executed steps are :

1- In regedit I put:
UI_ICON = C:\icons --where my gif icon file is located
UI_ICON_EXTENSION=gif -- in regedit

2-At command prompts i type the jar command found in: D:\Dev9i\jdk\bin
C:\>jar -cvf icons.jar c:\icons --" Then "icons.jar" file is created in D:\Dev9i\jdk\bin.

3- I Copy the file "icons.jar" and past into D:\Dev9i\forms90\java

4- I modify the "FORMSWEB.CFG" as follow:
archive_jini=icons.jar,f90all_jinit.jar;
imageBase=codeBase

5- In "Registry.dat" I added the flowing lines:
default.icons.iconpath= icons/
default.icons.iconextention= gif

6- In the "orion-web.xml" where the following block is located.
<virtual-directory virtual-path="/java"
real-path="D:\Dev9i/forms90/java" />
<virtual-directory virtual-path="/jinitiator"
real-path="D:\Dev9i/jinit" />
<virtual-directory virtual-path="/html"
real-path="D:\Dev9i/tools/web90/html" />

I Added : the following row:

<virtual-directory virtual-path="/icons"
real-path="C:\icons" />

7- I modify the "default.env" .as follow:
FORMS90_PATH=D:\Dev9i/forms90;C:\icons

8 Edite the file "D:\Dev9i\forms90\server \forms90.conf" and added
# Virtual path for forms image path (used to display gifs)
AliasMatch ^/forms/icons/(..*) "C:\icons/$1"

9- In the property palette for the icon item and in the Icon Filename I put just the icon name
called "w_prev" for example; Without any extension , any path...
still the icon not displayed from the fmb and fmx file.

Note: somtime if i type a specific icon's name In the property palette like "delete" for example it is displayed in fmb file but disappear at run time from fmx file, since this icon is not found in my icon's directory, also when i search for this icon file(called:"delete") start--->search-->... ; i dont find it.

so i dont know from where Oracle Forms Builder read or take this icon file Confused

Confused

I don't need you to repeat everything, I can read it in the thread!!!

You are running Forms 9 NOT Forms 10. I know that you do not need to place the icons in a 'jar' file.

You do not need to modify the 'default.env'. Initially, just place the icons in your forms directory which should be in the 'forms_path' ('forms90_path'?) and then refer to them from there.

You do not need to change the 'forms90.conf'.

Have you placed the directory name "D:\Dev9i\forms90\Meteo_Projet" in the 'Start in' parameter of the shortcut which invokes the Oracle Forms Builder?

You have a shortcut in your menu that starts Oracle Forms Builder, right click it and change its property.

Have you removed the change you made to 'default.env'?

Have you changed the 'icons' entry in 'orion-web.xml' to D:\Dev9i\forms90\Meteo_Projet instead of 'C:\icons'?

The virutal path has to match "default.icons.iconpath". Noting that on one there is a leading '/' and on the other there is a trailing '/'.

LOOK AT THE EXAMPLES!!! The 'default.icons.iconpath' is a single name with a trailing '/'! That name is used in 'orion_web' with a leading '/'.

Hi,

Keep the jar file in "$ORAHOME\form\java".

for each button give icon path as /forms/java/icon_name.gif

I think it will work
