Displaying a Content Canvas' Stacked Views in the Layout
Editor To display stacked views assigned to a content canvas' window:
1.
In the Object Navigator, under the Canvases
node, double-click the content canvas' object icon.
2.
In the Layout Editor, choose View | Stacked
Views.Oracle Forms displays the Stacked Canvases dialog, which shows all
stacked canvases assigned to the same window as the content canvas currently
displayed in the Layout Editor.
3.
Select the stacked canvas(es) that you want to
display in the Layout Editor. (Deselect those you do not want to display).
4.
To select a stacked canvas, click it in the
Stacked Canvases dialog. Control-click multiple stacked canvases to display
them on the same content canvas.
5.
To deselect a stacked canvas already displayed
on the content canvas, Control-click the selected stacked canvas in the Stacked
Canvases dialog.
6.
When you display a stacked canvas this way, you
see exactly what the end user will see at runtime. That is, you see only the
portion of the stacked canvas that is within its view, as defined by the
Viewport Width and Viewport Height properties.
7.
Once the stacked canvas is displayed, you can
change its properties in the Layout Editor by manipulating it graphically, as
follows:
8.
Move the stacked canvas to change its Viewport X
Position and Viewport Y Position properties.
9.
Resize the stacked canvas to change its Viewport
Width and Viewport Height properties. Resizing the view this way does not
change the size of the canvas, only the size of the view. To resize the canvas,
set the Width and Height canvas properties in the Property Palette. Only items
and boilerplate that are completely on the canvas will display at runtime, even
if the view is larger than the canvas.
10.
For a stacked canvas with scroll bars, scroll
the canvas to change the initial runtime settings for the Viewport X Position
on Canvas and Viewport Y Position on Canvas properties.
