Hi

Can anybody tell me how I can change the color of a push button when user places his mouse over the push button .

I have been able to change the color after pressing the button.

I want the push button to be highlighted when user palces his mouse on it ..

Thanks
Shalini

Have you tried placing code in the When-Mouse-Enter trigger for that button.

Did you have a 'synchronize'? Please post your code.

Hi

here is the code that is found in the when-mouse-enter trigger

if :SYSTEM.MOUSE_ITEM = 'BLOCK1.BUTTON1' then
set_item_property('BUTTON1',BACKGROUND_COLOR, 'r191g223b191');
end if;

thanks

Okay, you do NOT have a 'synchronize'.

Try

if :SYSTEM.MOUSE_ITEM = 'BLOCK1.BUTTON1' then 
  set_item_property('BUTTON1',BACKGROUND_COLOR, 'r191g223b191');
  synchronize;
end if;

Sorry, they are right. Searching OTN for 'when-mouse-enter not working' returned "Oracle9i Forms, Migrating Client/Server To the Web, An Oracle White Paper, April 2002" at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/forms9icstowebmigration.pdf

I googled 'when-mouse-enter java' and found http://www.araboug.org/ib/lofiversion/index.php/t27010.html

I hope this helps you.

Hi David,

i have a list item(poplist). there is a when-mouse-enter trigger for this item.
a procedure is being called in thhis trigger to populate the item.

but this is not working as you said when-mouse-enter trigger doesnt work in web deployed forms ( as per link you have sent).

i wrote the same code in when-new-item-inst trigger of that item. but when i click for first time,its showing default value of the item.when i again click on the item its getting populated. i dont want this. whenever i click on the item the list should be populated.

what trigger should i use??

thanks
jillu
