Hi.
From scratch I would suggest You to try SET_CANVAS_PROPERTY( ) instead. For syntax details look up the online help (F1) in Forms Builder - it is not well documented,
but F1 it is the Number One source of information.

There are very few books about Forms out there, but their quality is - erh, discussable ... In Your case I might RTFM in the book "Forms Developers Handbook" by Lulushi (Prentice Hall).
It is expensive, but better than nothing ... And, BTW, non of the doccos are available as ebooks, AFAIK.
