The Employees database table contains more columns than can be displayed at one time in a
form. You create a data block that uses all the columns. How can you enable users to interact with
all the items and switch between them without scrolling or closing anything?

C.

D.
Define multiple content canvases; display oneina modeless window and the othersinmodal
windows.
E.
This is not possible because items from a single block must be displayed on the same canvas
and window.
Explanation:
Note 1:
The most common canvas type is the content canvas (the default type). A content canvas is the
“base” view that occupies the entire content pane of the window in which it is displayed. You must
define at least one content canvas for each window you create.
Note2:
Modal & Modeless Windows in Oracle Forms
A window in oracle forms is a container for all visual objects that make up a Forms application.
You can create two different type of windows in oracle forms. Lets have a brief comparisons
between these two types of windows.
* Modal Window:
A modal window is a restricted window that the user must respond to before moving the input
focus to another window. Modal windows:
Must be dismissed before control can be returned to a modeless window
Become active as soon as they display
Require a means of exit or dismissal
* Modeless Window:
A modeless window is an unrestricted window that the user can exit freely. Modeless windows:
Can display many at once
Are not necessarily active when displayed
Are the default window type
A is the correct answer
Answer is B
