Events that Change the Current Content Canvas - Oracle Forms


When a content canvas is displayed in a window—in response to navigation or programmatic control—it becomes the window's current content canvas. Unless it is replaced by another content canvas, it remains the current content canvas for the duration of the runtime session (even if the end user closes or iconifies the window).

When multiple content canvases are assigned to the same window, the current content canvas can be replaced by another content canvas under the following circumstances:
·        the end user or the application navigates to an item on another content canvas assigned to the same window
·        a trigger or user-named subprogram executes the REPLACE_CONTENT_VIEW built-in procedure.

For example, the end user might press [Next Item] (Tab) to navigate to an item on a different content canvas. Since a window can display only one content canvas at a time, Oracle Forms replaces the window's current content canvas with the new content canvas that contains the target item
