Oracle Forms Standalone Start with WPF Webbrowser Component

Sometimes a startup with fixed parameters or a Windows User Credential check is required before calling Oracle Forms. This could be done with a WPF Application to hide information and handle safer routines for the Oracle Forms start. You can also handle the ON-CLOSE event in this WPF application to back up application logoff.

Attention: The IE11 WPF Webbrowser component incl. Java plugin is not forward-looking technology, but it can be helpful for rapid prototyping and deployments on Windows 10 clients.
