I am not sure of your objectives. However, if you want to load multiple values you may want to look at set_item_instance_property and then increment the row number as part of your loop.

ps. Please stop 'SHOUTING'. Write your entries in mixed case, it is much easier to read.

Hi
Thanku For Replay .
My Exact problem is like this

i am Storeing fieldname ,fieldtype ,fieldpropertys,fieldvalue,formname
in table named as fileds_info

i am creating procedure
suth that it will fetch filedname,fieldpropertys,filedvalue
from the table and it will set.

for that my statement

set_item_property(cursor.fieldname,cursor.filedpropertys,cursor.fielvalue)
-- erorr


Default

set_item_property(itemname,property,value);

Here what i observed is my propertys column having varchar2 value
but in syntax
set_item_property(
itemname item,
property number, -- table value varchar
value varchar2(5)
)


Now how to find the equal number for visible ,enable propertys
so that i can assign this value in the loop

Thanku

dunno if this will help.

when you way
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY(i.item_name, i.property_name, i.property_setting);

what happens here is that all the three values are posted as STRINGS.

Now the first argument.. i.item_name, the name of the item can be a string. Unless you pass the ID of the item.

The last argument should be a Boolean value if its of true/false style or it can also be a string value.

when it comes to the 2nd argument, this argument is NOT a string. Forms has a NUMBER for each of is properties (for those of you who have done C++, Forms uses Enumeration) Each property name co-incides with a number which is actually passed to the set_item_property an get_item_property functions.

That is why you always write:
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('emp.ename', VISIBLE, PROPERTY_FALSE); -- Correct

not as...
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('emp.ename', 'VISIBLE', PROPERTY_FALSE); -- Wrong


So using " SET_ITEM_PROPERTY(i.item_name, i.property_name, i.property_setting) " will actually not work. as the cursor value gets passed as a string and not as the number.

Hope it helps.

set_item_property(i.itemname, i.property_name, i.value) is wrong

1.- i.itemname must include blockname {'BLOCK.'||i.itemname};
2.- i.value dosn´t work when it must be PROPERTY_TRUE or PROPERTY_FALSE.

you must put the question:
if i.value = 'PROPERTY_TRUE' then
set_item_property('BLOCK.'||i.itemname, i.property_name, PROPERTY_TRUE);
elsif i.value = 'PROPERTY_FALSE' then
set_item_property('BLOCK.'||i.itemname, i.property_name, PROPERTY_FALSE);
else -- a char property
set_item_property('BLOCK.'||i.itemname, i.property_name, i.value);
end if;

That works!
