Changing Text-Item Hints

[NITIN27]

Hi,

I was working in oracle-8i
In my all forms on all List Of values field i Have written a hint "PRESS F9 FOR HELP" in Text-Item Property-Pallete

Now i have started Working in Oracle-9i

Now can I change my hint on all fields to
"Press CTRL+L FOR HELP"
by not changing in Text-Item Property-Pallette But By writing in some Trigger

This will reduce my work to great Extent

Thanks in Advance

My suggestion is to change terminal file because users normally DO NOT read hints. At best they read it only once. Of course, you may loop through all text items starting from

blck varchar2(30) := get_form_propertysystem.current_form,FIRST_BLOCK);


itm varchar2(30) := get_block_property(blck, FIRST_ITEM);

and moving by

blck := get_block_propertyblck, NEXTBLOCK);
itm := get_item_property(itm, NEXTITEM);

and change hints by SET_ITEM_PROPERTY, but again: if they used this form before, I find it to be much better to change settings rather than make your users learn something new.
