When using LOV's in your form, you would like to indicate the end users which text fields are linked with an LOV.
When you are positioned into such a text field, you can see at the status bar of the applet that the field is linked with an LOV:
To make your form more user friendly, you can add a push button with a nice icon, but you can also use automatically generated LOV-buttons. When you point the cursor in such a text field, you will see a small button with 3 dots:
It is very easy to implement this feature without doing changes in the source code of your form.
In the EM, you navigate to the Forms screen.
Next, in the "Forms" menu, you choose "Font and Icon Mapping" and you set the value for "app.ui.lovButtons" to "yes" (default = "no").
P.S.: this change will be recorded in the "registry.dat" file.
Restart your Forms server process and test the feature in your application!
