I also have updated the documentation to make it more clear what the pre-requirements are to be able to open the “APEX Builder Plugin Settings” dialog. The updated documentation can be found [...]

The Oracle APEX Builder Plugin is now also available for Internet Explorer! For a long time I was looking for a Greasemonkey like add-on for Internet Explorer.

Pimp your Oracle APEX Builder

The disadvantage of the new “Web-World” is that most web pages/applications are not really usable with the keyboard. There are no keyboard shortcuts to trigger different actions like saving the changes, … You always have to use the mouse for that, from a usability point of view that’s not good The Oracle APEX development [...]

Seamless integration of ApexLib into the APEX Builder IDE

Just updated the APEX Builder Plugin for Greasemonkey to version 1.1 Are you also setting “Export Comments” to YES each time when you export your Oracle APEX application, because you don’t want to loose your developer comments in the case you have to restore from a previous export.

Hacking the APEX Builder – Part 1

Patrick Wolf — Thu, 15 Feb 2007 22:15:00 +0000

Last week I blogged about a resizeable textarea which can be integrated into an APEX application. I thought it would be cool to have this resizeable textareas in the APEX Builder, too. How could that be done? I think there are 3 possible solutions Add the code into the htmldb_get.js with some check that it only executes when [...]
