GetAppletControlInstance Method

The GetAppletControlInstance method creates a control. It returns the name of the control that it creates. It uses the following syntax: 

GetAppletControlInstance (name, uiType, displayName, width, height)

where:

  • name is a string that contains the name that Siebel Open UI assigns to the control.

  • uiType is a string that identifies the type of the control. For more information, see Siebel Object Types Reference.

  • displayName is a string that contains the name of the control that Siebel Open UI displays in the client.

  • width is a string that contains a number that specifies the width of the control, in pixels.

  • height is a string that contains a number that specifies the height of the control, in pixels.

For example: 

var myControl = SiebelApp.S_App.GetAppletControlInstance (    
"MyDropDown",    
constants.get("SWE_CTRL_COMBOBOX"),    
"I want this to appear on the screen",    
"50",    
"20");

For another example that uses the GetAppletControlInstance method, see Customizing the Setup Logic of the Presentation Model.
