Is it possible to get the status of form or block every time? I mean if user presses Enter query key, it should display some status and if user presses execute query key then it should reflect some status. If user update any then it should reflect.

Utilize :SYSTEM.BLOCK_STATUS system variable.

A little bit too vague what is "some status"? And what is your definition of "if user update"? Is it on commit? Or when a field's value is updated?

here term 'some status' means that the block is in 'NEW' or in 'CHANGED' or in 'QUERY' mode. As i was in search of global thing so that i can define in the library itself and save myself from modifying all the forms in the system. But, i think there is no way of doing this. You have to define in the triggers (block - level). I have used following triggers to see the block status at every moment.
POST-UPDATE Trigger
POST-QUERY Trigger
POST-CHANGE Trigger
PRE-RECORD Trigger

This may help those whom this is new. And I will appreciate if someone have some better idea than this ..

What is this "feature" used for? I mean, why does this information make your users happier than before you implemented it?
Your user

Whoa! A block is in CHANGED status now! How about yours?

I took this thing non seriously first but I have to work on it after seeing users reactions. As I have some new users (dumb fellows) and they dont want to use some of their minds while dealing with forms. Despite of having some training, pressing every buttons to see its effect like kids. For example, they were entering the data in query mode and try to save this information. After doing this, a message like (NO Changes are made) came on screen. Then they dont take a minute to blame Oracle guys that the form is not working properly and such.

I did this to make my life easy on wards ... Smile

I think that you are far too optimistic (regarding these guys).
