Migrating Outbound COM Interfaces


Client-side application integration in the Siebel Web client can be accomplished by using two methods provided by Jscript.Net, Microsoft's implementation of the ECMA 262 language. These methods are:

The following example illustrates using the ActiveXObject function to access properties and methods of Microsoft Excel, including the Application object and the ActiveSheet.

var ExcelApp;

var Sheet;

ExcelApp = new ActiveXObject("Excel.Application");

Sheet = new ActiveXObject("Excel.Sheet");

// Make Excel visible

Sheet.Application.Visible = true;

// Place some text in the first cell

Sheet.ActiveSheet.Cells(1,1).Value = "This is row 1 column A";

// Save the sheet.

Sheet.SaveAs("C:\\TEST.XLS");

// Close Excel and quit.

Sheet.Application.Quit();

NOTE:  For additional information on the ActiveXObject and GetObject functions, refer to the Microsoft Web site (http://www.microsoft.com) and the Jscript.Net documentation.

In addition to the ActiveXObject and GetObject functions described above, you can use native functions provided by Siebel VB or eScript to handle client-side application integration. The native Siebel VB and eScript functions commonly used for client-side application integration are:
