how to create an oracle form

I am looking for a source to teach me how to create an oracle form. I don't want to create a form by using oracle form builder, I would like to understand how to create a *.fmb file.

Do you have any good source to read about it? I would like to create a custom IDE that's why I want to know how I can create an Oracle form.

please advice me.

You can use the open api functionality in oracle forms to make your own fmb files. For more info read this link

You don't want to do that.

Back in 1990's, Forms 3.0, when a form source was an .INP file which was a pure TXT file, it had its own structure so you might have tried to do everything in a text editor - define blocks, triggers, PL/SQL code, whatever. I don't know a single person who did that - that's what Forms is used for, so that you - as a developer - could pay attention to development and let Forms do the boring job for you.

Today, .FMB is not a textual file at all so you can't even do that.

I'd suggest you to learn how to develop good/fast/effective/etc. Forms applications, and - again - let Forms do the rest.

As of the rest of your question (creating a custom IDE), did you try to create a query builder? It is way simpler than creating a form, but still quite complex and certainly isn't something you can do in a matter of days.

Anyway, good luck with anything you're up to, I admire your enthusiasm.
