Setup Method for Presentation Models

The Setup method extracts the values that a property set contains. Siebel Open UI calls this Setup method when it processes the initial reply from the Siebel Server. It uses the following syntax:

Setup(property_set) 

where:

• property_set identifies the property set that Siebel Open UI uses with the corresponding proxy object. It contains the property set information for the proxy and any custom property set information that Siebel Open UI added through the presentation model that resides on the Siebel Server. If Siebel Open UI must parse a custom property set, then this work must occur in the Setup method for the derived presentation model. For more information, see Deriving Presentation Models, Physical Renderers, and Plug-in Wrappers.

For example, the following code identifies the childPropset property set:

extObject.Setup(childPropset.GetChild(0));
