Description

ActiveXControl
|

|
Button
|
This type can be used with controls that have a Method Invoked property defined. This can be a built-in method supplied with Siebel applications or a custom method programmed in Siebel VB or Siebel eScript. It creates a UI element that when clicked invokes the method.
To enable a button the WebApplet_PreCanInvokeMethod event must be scripted to set its CanInvoke parameter to TRUE.
The Runtime property of a button control must be set to TRUE. Otherwise the method associated with it will not execute.
|
ButtonDiv
|
Custom control, a divider that separates buttons.
|
Caption
|

To show a control of type Caption, use the syntax <swe:control property="FormattedHtml"/>.
|
CheckBox
|
Creates a UI element that supports toggling between two states. Check boxes are used for Yes/No or True/False options.
|
ComboBox

FormSection
|
Custom control, a label that helps to group related fields in an applet. The FormSection label expands to fit the region where you place it. To set it apart, the label appears against the FormSection color defined in the cascading style sheet.
The control might not appear to expand to fit within the layout editor but it will render that way in production.
|
Hidden
|
Creates an HTML input of type Hidden. Such controls are not visible in the Web page but can be accessed through scripting.
|
ImageButton
|
Custom control, an image-based minibutton. See the description for MiniButton.

Label
|
Allows a label to be placed in the applet. A label is a text string that remains constant rather than displaying dynamic information.
To show a control of type Label the property attribute can be set to either DisplayName or FormattedHtml. This type was added to handle a special case where the above difference is important. Normally, the type Label should be used instead of Caption.
