How to display Popup applet in Siebel - Possible ways!!

Siebel provides various different OOB ways to display a Popup applet, no matter if it a list applet or form applet. Here below is the list of all possible ways:

1.     ShowPopup

This is a straight forward OOB way to display a popup applet which is mostly used to display a popup when button is clicked.

a.      Create a button control on the UI with Method Invoked = ShowPopup.

b.      Create following Control User Properties:

Name	Value	Comments
Popup	<Applet Name>	Name of the popup applet
Mode	<Mode>	Base, Edit, Edit List
Popup Dimension	<Height> X <Width>	Eg: 300 X 300

2.     From Server Script using business service : “SLM Save List Service”, Method: LoadPopupApplet

This method can be used as per below example:

var oBSSLM = TheApplication().GetService("SLM Save List Service");

var psInp = TheApplication().NewPropertySet();

var psOut = TheApplication().NewPropertySet();

psInp.SetProperty("Applet Height", "400");

psInp.SetProperty("Applet Mode", "1");                           // 1 - List Applet, 2 - Form Applet

psInp.SetProperty("Applet Name", "<Applet Name>");

psInp.SetProperty("Applet Width", "800");

oBSSLM.InvokeMethod("LoadPopupApplet", psInp , psOut);

3.     From Browser Script

Here below is the sample code to display applet via browser script:

      function Applet_InvokeMethod (name, inputPropSet)

{

if(name == "ButtonClick")

            {

                        inputPropSet.SetProperty("SWEMethod", "ShowPopup");

                        inputPropSet.SetProperty("SWETA", "<Applet Name>");

                        inputPropSet.SetProperty("SWEW", "300");

                        inputPropSet.SetProperty("SWEH", "100");

                        inputPropSet.SetProperty("SWESP", "true");

                        inputPropSet.SetProperty("SWEM", "<Mode>");  // Base, Edit, Edit List

                        this.InvokeMethod("ShowPopup", inputPropSet);

            }

            }
