Creating a Pop-Up Control in an Applet

If the HTML Type property of a control or list column is set to Text or Field, then Siebel CRM allows some controls to pop-up in the Siebel client, depending on the data type of the field. Example controls include a calendar or a calculator.

Table 39 summarizes how the data type of the field affects the pop-up control that Siebel CRM displays. If you define a list for a field that Table 39 describes, then Siebel CRM pops up a list in the Siebel client instead of a calculator or calendar.

To create a pop-up control in an applet

1. In Siebel Tools, click Applet in the Object Explorer.
2. In the Applets list, locate the applet you must modify.
3. In the Object Explorer, expand the Applets tree, and then click Control to define the properties of the control.

   To define the properties of a list, expand the List tree, and then click List Column.

4. In the Controls or List Columns list, locate the control or list column you must modify.
5. Set the Read Only property of the control or list column to FALSE.
6. Set the Runtime property of the control or list column to TRUE.
7. Compile and test your modifications.
