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.

The following table 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, then Siebel CRM pops up a list in the Siebel client instead of a calculator or calendar.

Field Data Type	Pop-Up Control That Siebel CRM Displays
DTYPE_DATE	Calendar
DTYPE_TIME	Time
DTYPE_DATETIME	Combination calendar/time
DTYPE_UTCDATETIME	Combination calendar/time
DTYPE_NUMBER	Calculator
DTYPE_INTEGER
