Hi!

I need to build an application with Oracle Forms 5.0 where the user can dynamically change the width of the fields.

One idea is to manually programm this functionality with on-key-triggers

or the toolbar and set the item properties according to some program logic.
But in every form the developper would have to guarantee that this works

correctly. I would prefer a tool that can be integrated in Oracle Forms 5.0 (maybe an OCX) which provides this functionality.

Does anyone one such a tool? Ideally it should look like the grid used in MS-software where you can sort by klicking on the title of a column and change the order of the columns. Even Oracle uses such a tool, you can find this functionality in the Storage Manager of the Oracle Enterprise Manager.
