How to make a button conditional in oracle forms?

To make a button conditional in Oracle Forms, you can use the SHOW Built-in function in the WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger.

Below is an example of how you can configure a button to be conditional based on a certain condition:

1. Open your form in Oracle Forms Builder.
2. Go to the property palette of the button that you want to make conditional.
3. In the "When-Button-Pressed" trigger, add the following code:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7

IF <condition> THEN
   SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('button_name', DISPLAYED, PROPERTY_TRUE);
   SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('button_name', ENABLED, PROPERTY_TRUE);
ELSE
   SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('button_name', DISPLAYED, PROPERTY_FALSE);
   SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('button_name', ENABLED, PROPERTY_FALSE);
END IF;

Replace <condition> with the condition that you want to check for. If the condition is true, the button will be displayed and enabled. If the condition is false, the button will be hidden and disabled.

1. Compile and run your form to see the changes in action.

This is a simple way to make a button conditional in Oracle Forms. You can modify the code as needed based on your specific requirements.
