Activating Menu Items and Toolbars

Siebel CRM automatically calls CanInvokeMethod for each item before it displays the menu or toolbar. If CanInvokeMethod returns FALSE, then Siebel CRM does the following:

1. Does not display the menu item or toolbar item.
2. Retargets CanInvokeMethod from the browser application to the applet class hierarchy on the Siebel Server, and then to the business component class hierarchy.

For more information, see About the Method, Business Service, and Target Properties of the Command Object.

To activate menu items and toolbars

• Use CanInvokeMethod to activate or deactivate menu items in an application menu and applet menu, or toolbar items in a toolbar in the Siebel client.
