What is the best way to distinguish btwn. Enter Query and Normal mode

584436Dec 17 2008 — edited Dec 18 2008
3 Modes in Oracle forms. I think we can ignore the Query mode.

The two that i am working on is making a dinstinction between Enter Query and Normal mode on forms
possibly by changing the background color when they are on one mode versus the other

Tried Key-ENTQRY and KEY-EXEQRY triggers at the form level . I can capture the Normal mode on
KEY-EXEQRY
EXECUTE_TRIGGER;
SET_CANVAS_PROPERTY('CANVAS_NAME', VISUAL _ATTRIBUTE, 'GREEN');


However I am not able to capture when the form comes back to Enter Query Mode to change the color to something else.

Is there any other better way to handle this to make it easy for users.

thanks
