How the HTML Client Framework Chooses Records

If Siebel CRM calls a method that resides on an applet, then the HTML Client framework sets the chosen records in the business component. This configuration occurs in the PrepareToInvokeMethod method before it calls the DoInvokeMethod method. These methods reside in the CSSSWEFrame class. Siebel CRM does the following work when the framework uses a command to call a method that resides on an applet:

1. Positions the parent business component of the applet, if it exists, on the correct records.

2. Positions the business component that the applet references in the currently active record, if necessary.

3. If Siebel CRM identifies multiple records, then it calls the SelectRowById method of the CSSBusComp class to choose these records in the business component.

4. To call the method on the applet, Siebel CRM calls the DoInvokeMethod method of the CSSSWEFrame class.

The CSSSWEFrame class does not include any methods that support multiple records. If a specialized applet supports this feature, then the DoInvokeMethod method must be specialized. The DoInvokeMethod method calls the IsMultiRecSelected method of the CSSSWEFrame class to determine if multiple records are chosen. If TRUE, then it calls the EnumAllSelections of the CSSBusComp class to get all the records that are currently chosen in the business component.
