This is nice trick that I came to know recently from Nidhi Puri a friend of mine working in siebel from past 2 years. Till now there were 2 ways known to me to enable a button on an applet in Siebel.
- Scripting at PreCanInvoke event of Applet
- Named Method n User property
But there is another way of enabling the button on applet apart from these two.
Just prefix EventMethod in front of the method name you have given and it will automatically enable the button example
If you create a button and give method name as CopyScript then change it to EventMethodCopyScript it will automatically enable the button. But you need to change the method name at BC level too. So at BC Level the scripting will change to
if(MethodName == “EventMethodCopyScript”)
Nice clean way to enable the button.
Happy Siebel development :)

u mean to say that if we give method name as “Hai” in applet control level then we need to use it as “EventMethodHai” in scripting..is that correct? please be clear…
but i didn’t work for me….My method name was “Remove” and in BC i have given it as
if(MethodName == “EventMethodRemove”)..the button is not activated…did it work for u?
Applet : MethodName
BC Scripting
if your method was Remove then change Applet Method Name as EventMethodRemove
It will activate the button if you have script associated with it then you will need to change the method name in scripting.
Hope that clears how to do it
Thankyou neel it is working fine now…Can u please tell me about the “Named Method n” user property to enable or disable a button..i havenot use that till now..Thanks in advance

Hey man this EventMethod is not working for me. I tried it just as R&D for enabling a button but it didn’t work.
