I need to know is there any way to open and analyze an oracle form module (fmb file format) in C/C++ and get a list of all used tables, views, blocks,... in that module file.

give me a sample please, thanks in advance.

I think what you are talking about is the Forms C/C++ API. This was a "power user" tool for working with Forms outside the IDE, in a batch mode. Oracle have deprecated it in favour of the easier to use Java tool, JDAPI. In fact Oracle appears to have completely eradicated documentation for the C API from the OTN site.

Fortunately we still have the Wayback Machine. So, here is the Developer 2000 documentation for the C/C++ API (warning: PDF).
