Show Method for Components

The Show method that Siebel Open UI uses for components shows a component. It uses the following syntax:

Show() 

It includes no arguments.

Siebel Open UI uses the Component Manager to call the Show method for a component. This Show method does the following work during this call:

• If the physical renderer object does not already exist, then the Component Manager creates it.

• Calls the following methods that reside in the physical renderer:

  • ShowUI

  • BindEvents

  • BindData

  For more information about how Siebel Open UI uses these methods, see Life Cycle of a Physical Renderer.

• Calls the Show method for every component object it creates while it runs, as necessary.

In some situations, Siebel Open UI might not finish calling the Setup method if it creates the component after the Component Manager life cycle finishes. In this situation, Siebel Open UI can use the Show method to call this component to make sure that it completes this life cycle successfully.

It is recommended that you not configure Siebel Open UI to make a direct call to the Show method for a component.

For more information about using the Show method, see Life Cycle Flows of User Interface Elements.
