Loading ...This post will discuss the configuration required to invoke a Popup Applet on a button click. As always we will discuss it with the help of a requirement.
Requirement:
- On a list applet have a button with caption as “Check Status”
- Clicking on that button should result in an applet opening in separate window (popup applet)
Solution:
I am not listing the normal configuration steps like creating an applet or code to enable the button. I am assuming that you have already done that and just need configure the popup.
- Query the List Applet that you want to add the button to.
- In the Control section create a new record.
- Enter the following values
- Map the control to the Applet UI by editing Applet Web Layout
- Expand the control section and select the Control User Prop Section as shown below
- Create the following user properties
Name: Mode
Value: Edit
Name: Popup
Value: Applet Name to Popup
Name: Check Status
Caption – String Override: Check Status
MethodName: ShowPopup
And you are done. When you click on that button it should popup the applet mentioned by you.
Authors bio is coming up shortly.

Those “Names” and “Values” you mentioned, are predefined or what…from where can we get the list of such “Names” & “Values”(Like Mode,Popup etc) that we are providing there…What is actually happening when we provide such data..Can you explain the mechanism please?

I am getting this error
@Abhi: you get that error if you try to call ‘ShowPopup’ from script. The way the function’s been implemented it has to be invoked from a button click. I discussed a way around that restriction in this post.
i have two buttons on an applet. Both buttons are using the “ShowPopup” method. I want to write some code to restrict one button, but since both button are using the same method code is getting fired from both button. I want it to work only for one button not for both.
Any help will be appreciated.
Hi,
I am using the Siebel 8 version. I am new to working in Siebel. I have a form applet. I have a minbutton in it. The button is enabled. When i click on the button, i want to invoke another form applet. How to invoke another form applet through the button click?
Hi Venkatesh,
Please find the following solution for your requ
1) Create a New Button in the applet and place it in web layout
2) Write the following code in the Applet PreInvokeMethod method
if(MethodName== “Add-Record”)
{
var destBO = TheApplication().GetBusObject(“Activity”);
var destBC = destBO.GetBusComp(“Activity”);
with(destBC)
{
SetViewMode(AllView);
ClearToQuery();
SetSearchSpec(“Id”,vCopyId);
ExecuteQuery(ForwardOnly);
TheApplication().GotoView(“Request Document View”,destBO);
}
}
Hope this will work ..let me know if ur facing any issues
Adding few more words,
The class file for the Popup applet should be “CSSSWEFramePopupHiGantt”
Cheers

stuandgraavy: That hasn’t stopped me. Actualy i’ve managed to InvokeMethod(“ShowPopup”, … ). You just need the right input parameters, that’s all.
