Use the following system variable.
:System.Cursor_Item --Returns the Item name along with Block name
or
:System.Current_Item -- Returns the item name.

Hi
Using :System.Cursor_Item , I am able to get the name of the text item or other items on which the cursor is navigating at the run time.
As the cursor will not come to display item, so the :System.Cursor_Item is not working.
As my requirement is to scan all the controls in the blocks or form and get their names to built a dynamic form and I am using the display item as a label for the item.

So you or anybody could guide me how to scan all the controls in the form and return their names ?

Regards,
Ashutosh

Given code to scan all the item in the form even display item. May be useful to you.

Declare
	v varchar2(40);
Begin
	v := Get_Block_Property('EMP' , First_Item) ; 
Message(v);pause;
Loop
	v := Get_Item_Property('EMP.'||v , NextItem) ; 
	Exit when v is null;
	Message(v);pause;
end loop;
end;
