I want button in my form show the second window when I press it , and when I press it again hide the second window , what I mean exactly I want the same button hide and show the same window(the another window).

I attached form to understand what I mean exactly , the when-button-pressed trigger on item 'BLOCK4.SHOW' have two built-in:-

SHOW_WINDOW('THE_ANOTHER_WINDOW');
HIDE_WINDOW('THE_ANOTHER_WINDOW');

of course not right to write together , but I want just to see what I mean.

I'm waiting for your answers , and thanks.

Still no reply? That's odd... perhaps it has something to do with attaching a ZIP file? I know I won't download it.

If you want to do that with the same button, I'd say that you'll need to use some kind of a flag (possibly a global variable or a parameter?) which would tell the WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger which window is active (or whichever information you choose). It also means that you'll have to include IF-THEN-ELSE into the trigger.

P.S. Forgot to mention ... our lives are not dedicated to solving your problems. Read the OraFAQ Forum Guide to learn how to behave here.

Follow the below steps

1.Go to the windows property of 'THE_ANOTHER_WINDOW' and change the property "Window Style" from "Document" to "Dialog"

2. create a field in block4 and name it as val (number 1).

3. Create a trigger "WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE" and write this code

:block4.val := 1;

4. On the "WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED" trigger on "SHOW" write the below code

if :block4.val = 1 then
	SHOW_WINDOW('THE_ANOTHER_WINDOW');
	:block4.val := 0;
else
	HIDE_WINDOW('THE_ANOTHER_WINDOW');
	:block4.val := 1;
end if;

This is what you wanted.
