In Oracle Forms, modules are the building blocks used for designing and developing applications. The two main types of modules in Oracle Forms are:
- Form Modules:
- Form modules are used for designing the interactive user interface of an application.
- They consist of objects like text items, buttons, check boxes, and other GUI components.
- Form modules are responsible for accepting user input and displaying data from the database.
- Menu Modules:
- Menu modules are used for creating menus and menu items that define the overall navigation structure of an application.
- They provide a hierarchical structure for organizing the functionality of the application.
- Menu modules are linked to form modules to define how the user can navigate through the application.
These two types of modules work together to create a cohesive application interface and functionality in Oracle Forms.
