Giving date picker Calendar option to User for Date type fields in Oracle Forms. I am Providing you the form (FOXCAL.FMX) and the libraries (GENERAL.PLX and CALENDAR.PLL). You can download these files by clicking below Link:download Form and required PLLLike the US to get notifications for free source code in the future, thanks.
How to use It was very simple to use, no need to attache any library to your form, just copy all three files to your Curren T working directory of your application. Suppose you has a form and there is one or many date date type, the form. You had to create key-listval trigger for those date type fields or create a push button adjacent to those fields and pas Te the below code in when-button-pressed trigger:DECLARE
pl_id paramlist;
begin
: GLOBAL. G_lov_date: = TRUNC (sysdate);
pl_id: = Get_parameter_list (' foxcal ');
IF not Id_null (pl_id) Then
destroy_parameter_list (pl_id);
End If;
pl_id: = Create_parameter_list (' foxcal ');
add_parameter (pl_id, ' XPOS ', Text_parameter, To_char ());
add_parameter (pl_id, ' YPOS ', Text_parameter, To_char (+));
add_parameter (pl_id, ' currdate ', Text_parameter, To_char (sysdate));
add_parameter (pl_id, ' Label ', Text_parameter, ' Date picker ');
call_form (' foxcal ', No_hide, Do_replace, Query_only, No_share_library_data, pl_id);
: Yourdateitem: =: global.g_lov_date;
Erase (' global.g_lov_date ');
END;
note:your Current working directory for Form designer and runtime should is the directory where you copied the above mentioned three files.Download the demo form from the following link Date Picker demo
