Creating DLL and Class Objects That Reference an ActiveX Control

To make an ActiveX control available for use, you must create DLL and Class objects in Siebel Tools that reference the CAB file containing the control.

To create an ActiveX control

1. Create a CAB file containing the control, if it does not already exist.

   Microsoft provides some utilities for doing this.

2. Copy the CAB file to the correct folder.
   1. When deploying to a server environment, copy the CAB file to the <Siebel_install_dir>\SWEApp\public\language_code\applets folder,

      where:

      <Siebel_install_dir> is the full path to the Siebel Web Applications installation directory on the Siebel Web Server

      language_code is the three-letter code for the language, for example ENU for US English and JPN for Japanese

   2. When deploying a CAB file on the Mobile Web Client, copy the CAB file to the <Siebel_Client_install_dir>\PUBLIC\language_code\applets folder,

      where:

      <Siebel_Client_install_dir> is the full path to the Siebel Mobile Web Client root directory

      language_code is the three-letter code for the language, for example ENU for US English and JPN for Japanese
