Simple Oracle Forms Menu

I wan't to have a simple menu (main menu not menu bar) whith buttons to link to another form(s)/window(s)/caveses(s). Or atleast the code to switch bettween the screen.

preview_of_main_menu

What code (SQL/PL) would I put in the buttons or is there a better way to do this?

Why dont you just make 1 form only?1 form, many datablock,canvas, window

anyway, for your question, just call the block

go_block('your_block');

if you want to call another block 

go_block('another_block');
hide_window('1st_open_window');

you should make 1 canvas in 1 window for better arrangement

You can also use Stack canvas within the same form which gets visible as you click on the button.

SHOW_VIEW('CANVAS_NAME');

And in that stack you can do whatever you want.

That's a very broad question. If you want to show a specific window on WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED then you can use built in like below-

SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY('WINDOW_NAME', VISIBLE, PROPERTY_TRUE);  --This would display the window

SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY('WINDOW_NAME', VISIBLE, PROPERTY_FALSE);  --This will hide the window

The above would work if you use the SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY within the same form.

In case you want to call another form from the parent form (which is the case as per your comment screenshot) you need to to use CALL_FORM built-in like 

CALL_FORM('MEMBERS');
