Set a password on a button in Oracle Forms
- Thread starter LeeAnnF
- Start date
What is the actual problem here LeeAnnF? Are you asking how to do a pop-up screen or how to validate a password in forms?
A pop-up dialogue can be made using modal windows. The current user password can be obtained with GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY.

Thank you so much for replying to my problem. I'm sorry I wasn't more descriptive of my needs. The user wants to limit who can access the form accessed by choosing a particular radio button. She requested that when anyone selects the radio button a screen pop-up that requires a password that must be filled in correctly before the requested form will display. I am working with Oracle Forms 6i. Hope this makes my needs clearer.

Use WHEN-RADIO-CHANGED to pop up a modal window. In the window, display a text item for the password entry. A button with WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED will validate the user entered password against one held in a table. If the passwords match, use CALL_FORM to start the new form.

I already have a WHEN-RADIO-CHANGED trigger. This is the code: ELSIF :rg_menu = 'CRB' then PR_WBP_CALLFORM('CALL','csl18116');
I created a popup menu in the popup menu node. Is that the same as a popup window? You suggest I display a text item for the password entry. What would the code be to accomplish that task? (Can you tell I am new to this?) If I can find the correct spot to create the popup window, I know how to create the button and the WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger. Any more help with this that you can give me will be greatly appreciated!
Thanx,
LeeAnn

No a popup menu is different to a popup window.
Create a new window in the object navigator. Set its window style property to Dialogue and Modal to yes.
Create a new canvas for the window. On the canvas place a text item and your button. You should create the item and button in a new block.
In your WHEN-RADIO-CHANGED place code similar to
[tt]Go_Item('<your_new_block>.<your_new_item>');[/tt]
This will cause your window to pop up. In the WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger, place code that validates the user entered password against one in the database, and if successful, make your PR_WBP_CALLFORM call.
