Check "WHEN-MOUSE-..." triggers as well as SET-ITEM-PROPERTY and SET-ITEM-INSTANCE-PROPERTY built-ins (look for VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE property).

Unfortunately, Forms version you use can't do that due to amount of network traffic that would be generated. Therefore, WHEN-MOUSE-ENTER, WHEN-MOUSE-LEAVE and WHEN-MOUSE-MOVE can not be used.

Googling for "oracle forms when-mouse-enter java" returned (among others) this page, which saysQuote:

When the mouse enter an item, the background color is changed, then an event is sent to Forms to indicate which item is concerned.

So, perhaps you could try with Java.

I am having a slight different requirement that I want that the mouse pointer should change to hand when it is kept over a button in 10g.

I have tried when-mouse-enter, Its not working. Does 10g is also not able to perform the task due to traffic?

The 'Cursor Style Property' can be used to change the cursor from a 'pointer' to a 'hand'. But not in 'When-Mouse-Enter', etc.

Look at my response in http://www.orafaq.com/forum/mv/msg/78857/344718/0/#msg_344718

Oracle Forms was and is a block mode, serious user number, application system. Oracle Forms was not and is not a PC weeney touchy feely tool. For that you need to go to the new age 'pig' - Java.
