421144Aug 4 2008 — edited Aug 6 2008
Hi friends,

I am using forms 6i, I am interested in knowing all the properties of a rectangle that can me programatically modified, like changing the border color or making it invisible.

do we have any manual/article that lists different controls and all its property that can be programatically modified ?


The details of this requirement is appended, please have a look at it and give your feedback


Thanks
Shyam


Details:

I have placed two rectangular box say Recta & Rectb one below the other.

Recta contains

A text box to type the path of the flat file that is to be uploaded
A push button to browse the flat file that is to be uploaded
A push button to upload the contents of the flat file to the table
A push button to display the contents of the table in a data aware block(tabular view) with in Rectb

Rectb contains

The tabular view of the table (data aware block)
A scroll bar
Few display items


Recta has got a provision to choose a flat file. This file is uploaded in to the database using the 'upload' button and upon clicking the 'Display' button the details of the uploaded flat file from the table are shown in the data aware block which is placed inside Rectb. I am able to do this.

I would like to keep Rectb and all the controls within Rectb to be invisible. They should be made visible only when the 'Display' button is clicked. I have done a work around for all the controls.
For the scroll bar i have positioned the x co-ordinate to 900 so that they dont get visible when the form is run. (any suggestions ?)
I do not know how to handle the Rectangle, I would either want to keep it invisible or want to change its border color to gray20.

Can any of you help me on this ?


Thanks
Shyam
