Oracle Forms Developer – Form Builder Reference, Volume 1

CURRENT_ROW_FOREGROUND_COLOR The color of the object’s
foreground region. For items, the Foreground Color attribute defines the
color of text displayed in the item.
CURRENT_ROW_WHITE_ON_BLACK Specifies that the object is to
appear on a monochrome bitmap display device as white text on a black
background.
CURSOR_MODE Specifies the cursor state Form Builder should attempt
to define. Primarily used when connecting to non-ORACLE data sources.
Valid values are OPEN_AT_COMMIT and CLOSE_AT_COMMIT.
DEFER_REQUIRED_ENFORCEMENT Specifies whether
enforcement of required fields has been deferred from item validation to
record validation. Valid values are PROPERTY_TRUE,
PROPERTY_4_5, and PROPERTY_FALSE.
DIRECTION Specifies the layout direction for bidirectional objects.
Valid values are DIRECTION_DEFAULT, RIGHT_TO_LEFT,
LEFT_TO_RIGHT.
FIRST_NAVIGATION_BLOCK Returns the name of the block into
which Form Builder attempts to navigate at form startup. By default, the
first navigation block is the first block defined in the Object Navigator;
however, the FIRST_NAVIGATION_BLOCK block property can be set to
specify a different block as the first block at form startup.
SAVEPOINT_MODE Specifies whether Form Builder is to issue
savepoints. Valid values are PROPERTY_TRUE and
PROPERTY_FALSE.
VALIDATION Specifies whether Form Builder is to perform default
validation. Valid values are PROPERTY_TRUE and
PROPERTY_FALSE.
VALIDATION_UNIT Specifies the scope of validation for the form.
Valid values are DEFAULT_SCOPE, BLOCK_SCOPE,
RECORD_SCOPE, and ITEM_SCOPE.
value The following constants can be passed as arguments to the property values
described earlier:
BLOCK_SCOPE Specify when you want Form Builder to validate data
only at the block level. This means, for instance, that Form Builder
validates all the records in a block when a navigation event forces
validation by leaving the block.
CLOSE_AT_COMMIT Specify when you do not want cursors to remain
open across database commits; for example, when a form is running against
a non-ORACLE database.
DEFAULT_SCOPE Sets the Validation Unit form module property to the
default setting. On GUI window managers, the default validation unit is
ITEM.
FORM_SCOPE Specify when you want validation to occur at the form
level only.
