i have one form and there is a tab canvas with 5 tab pages.
1st tab page is for welcome screen
there are three items , current date ,current time and logged in user (item type is text_item for all)
i have created timer for continuos change of time
and the timer type is repeat .
Now the problem is
when i navigate to other tab pages the cursor keep refreshing on other pages too.
thats why i am having a problem in selecting the data from combo_box type items

Please tell me how to handle this.

How are we supposed to know which one of all those topics is a "previous" one? Note that forum discussions are dynamic, and topics that contain most recent messages raise to the top of the list, so "previous" is very doubtful. Maybe you'd rather post a link to that topic (or even better, a message that contains information you refer to). Doing so, you'd avoid possible confusion.

PROBLEM IS SOLVED

Dear corrected your fmb why you used on block-level

when-new-block-instance------------TOTALLY WRONG CODE-----
declare
t timer;
begin
t:=create_timer('t1',1000,repeat);
end;
select sysdate into :welcome.date from dual;
NULL;
-----------------------------------------


NOW CORRECT WAY TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM 

WHEN-NEW-FORMS-INSTANCE----TRIGGER

select sysdate into :welcome.date from dual;

DECLARE 
   CurrTime TIMER; 
    OneSec CONSTANT NUMBER := 1000; 
BEGIN 
    CurrTime := CREATE_TIMER('CURRTIME',OneSec,REPEAT); 
END;  


WHEN-TIMER-EXPIRED------TRIGGER

DECLARE 
ExpTimer VARCHAR2(40) := Get_Application_Property(TIMER_NAME); 
vTime VARCHAR2(30):= :SYSTEM.CURRENT_DATETIME; 

BEGIN 

IF ExpTimer = 'CURRTIME' THEN 
   Welcome.TIME := SUBSTR(vTime, instr(vTime,' ')+1); 
END IF; 
END;


See this corrected fmb file download this

As of a PM I received from Mughal: I don't have access to any Forms installation at the moment so I can't test anything, even if I wanted to. So, there are 2 people saying that it works OK and one who says that it doesn't.
  • Did you compare your Forms versions?
  • What happens when you, jgjeetu, deploy that form to web and run it from the application server (as it seems that from Forms Developer it won't work)?
  • Did you try to recompile the form (Ctrl + Shift + K)? Any improvement?

@Mughal bro please make me understand this coding:-
WHEN-TIMER-EXPIRED------TRIGGER

DECLARE 
ExpTimer VARCHAR2(40) := Get_Application_Property(TIMER_NAME); 
vTime VARCHAR2(30):= :SYSTEM.CURRENT_DATETIME; 

BEGIN 

IF ExpTimer = 'CURRTIME' THEN 
   Welcome.TIME := SUBSTR(vTime, instr(vTime,' ')+1); 
END IF; 
END;

Why not brother,

Timers correspond to internal clocks which have a specific time period When the specified duration expires the timer can either perform an action once and stop or repeat the action regularly every time the timer expires timer duration is always in milliseconds timers are created using the CREATE_TIMER built in and require a WHEN-TIMER-EXPIRED trigger to be written at the form level this trigger fires every time the timer expires.

as we created a display item "CURRENT_TIME" in your case "Time" This item shows the time in HH24:MI:SS format and updates itself every second the timer duration
In the WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger created a timer named CURRTIME which iterates after every one second and populates the CURRENT_TIME / TIME item with the system date in HH24:MI:SS format the code is as i already posted.

Hope you got something.
