CanInvokeMethod Method

The CanInvokeMethod method determines whether or not Siebel Open UI can call a method. It returns the following properties. If you use CanInvokeMethod, then you must configure it so that it returns these properties:

• Invoked. This property returns one of the following values:

  • true. Siebel Open UI examined the method.

  • false. Siebel Open UI did not examine the method.

• RetVal. This property returns one of the following values:

  • true. Siebel Open UI can call the method.

  • false. Siebel Open UI cannot call the method.

The CanInvokeMethod method uses the following syntax:

Applet.CanInvokeMethod(methodName)

where:

• methodName is a string that contains the name of the method that CanInvokeMethod examines. CanInvokeMethod gets this string as a property that resides in an input property set.
