Oracle Forms

I have a workaround that might appeal to WebUtil users who do not care for the look-and-feel that is used by the CLIENT_GET_FILE_NAME built-in.

Sorry to tease everyone, but I do not have time to do a lengthy write-up. On one of your forms -- ideally, the first form that your application runs -- place a bean area implemented using the following class:

    package oracle.forms.ea;

    import java.awt.Component;
    import javax.swing.UIManager;

    public class LAFSetter extends Component {

      public LAFSetter() {
        try {
          UIManager.setLookAndFeel(
                  UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
        } catch (Exception e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
        }
      }

    }

Once the form containing this bean area runs, future Swing dialogs should be rendered using the system look-and-feel. I have performed only enough testing to see that this basically works -- thorough testing is left up to you!
