HELLO

I was assigned to convert an ERP application (about 400 forms)
from Developer2.1 (Forms50) to Developer 6i with Patch 5 (Forms6i). The work was done relatively easy with a batch file.

The problem I have is that (bug 1380066 in Metalink),
List Items with List Style = Combo box which have maximum legth 1 in the property pallette, do not appear in Forms 6i. The fmx is generated successfuly (without errors), but when you run the form, you see only the prompt.

Of course one "solution" is to go to all forms find Combo Boxes and change the property Maximum Length from 1 to say 50, or to convert Combo boxes to Poplists.
But I would like to ask if there is a more easy way to make all the fields of the application of type Combo boxes (or Lists in general) to have max length 50 for example. (programmaticaly or by property classes I dont Know)

 

for example

If Get_Item_Property(item_name,ITEM_TYPE) = 'LIST' then ....................

set_item_property (.............

Thanks in advance
