Changing the Text Style of a Control or List Column in an Applet

You can change the style of a text string that Siebel CRM displays in a control or list column.

To change the text style of a control or list column in an applet

1. Make sure Siebel Tools is configured to allow you to modify a text string.

   For more information, see Setting Up the Configuration File for Siebel Tools.

2. Embed an HTML tag in the Caption property of a control or in the Display Name property of a list column.

   For example, consider how Siebel CRM displays the following value for the Caption property:

   <font color="red" size=+2><b>Account Name</b></font>

   Siebel CRM uses the value in the HTML tags to render this caption.

3. Compile and test your changes.

   For more information, see Using Siebel Tools.

Guidelines for Changing the Text Style of a Control or List Column in an Applet

If you change the text style of a control or list column in an applet, then use the following guidelines:

• Siebel CRM supports an HTML tag that controls text style, such as size, color, italics, and bold.
• Siebel CRM does not support other HTML tags, such as those that control alignment or position.
• You cannot use an HTML tag in a property that uses a string because the Siebel Web Engine interprets the tag as a literal value if rendered in high interactivity. For more information, see About Standard Interactivity and High Interactivity.
