Dear All,

I am facing some problems when I am Working with Numeric Keypad on Oracle Forms 6i.
I have 10 Buttons and In Every Button Property I have defined the "Access Key".

e.g

Buttons | Property   | Value
----------------------------
Button1 | Access Key | "1"
Button2 | Access Key | "2"
Button3 | Access Key | "3"
Button4 | Access Key | "4"
Button5 | Access Key | "5"
Button6 | Access Key | "6"
Button7 | Access Key | "7"
Button8 | Access Key | "8"
Button9 | Access Key | "9"
Button0 | Access Key | "0"

Example : When I will Press Only "1" Using Numeric Keypad, Message Window will appear with the Message "You have Pressed 1..."

All Buttons are functioning Properly when I Pressing (One Key Stroke) 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0 using Numeric KeyPad.

But I am not able to apply this Technique on "*" , "/" , "-" , "+" , "." , "Num Lock".

How Can I utilize these Characters(*,-,+,/,NumLock) in my application to perform a certain task using Single Key Stroke through Buttons or any other way in Oracle Forms 6i.

Note : We don't want to give Keyboard / Mouse to User. We have given a Numeric KeyPad to the User for a Certain Task.

Thanks in Advance

I don't think that you can intercept the 'NumLock' key as Oracle Forms is a block mode application and you need to press the 'Enter' key for the data to be sent to the Form. Unless, of course, you write a Java thingy that traps each key-stroke, then you may be able to 'see' the 'Num-Lock' key when it is pressed.

Sorry for Late Reply.

I was just reviewing my posts so that I have found this thread as incomplete.

I have resolved this issue using a simple logic and wants to share the same.

1) Create Text item on Canvas.
2) Rename Text Item to "TEST"
2) Go To The Properties of TEXT ITEM.
3) Set "Data Type" to "Char".
4) Set "Maximum Length" to "1".
5) Set Automatic Skip to "Yes".
6) Set "Database Item" to "No".
7) Go To PL/SQL Editor for that TEXT ITEM
Cool

Paste Below Code in "WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM" TRIGGER

IF :test = '1' THEN
	MESSAGE('1 is pressed...');	
	MESSAGE('1 is pressed...');	
	:test := NULL;
ELSIF
	:test = '2' THEN
	MESSAGE('2 is pressed...');	
	MESSAGE('2 is pressed...');	
	:test := NULL;	
ELSIF
	:test = '3' THEN
	MESSAGE('3 is pressed...');	
	MESSAGE('3 is pressed...');	
	:test := NULL;
	-- ..
	-- ..
	-- ..
	-- ..
	-- ..
	-- ..
	-- ..
ELSIF
	:test = '*' THEN
	MESSAGE('* is pressed...');	
	MESSAGE('* is pressed...');	
	:test := NULL;
ELSIF
	:test = '/' THEN
	MESSAGE('/ is pressed...');	
	MESSAGE('/ is pressed...');		
	:test := NULL;
ELSE
	:test := NULL;
END IF;

Well... djmartin said is correct but I have utilized maximum of them.
