The following example is in Siebel eScript:

function WebApplet_PreInvokeMethod (MethodName)
{
   switch (MethodName)
   {
   case "CustomMethod":
      var applet = this;
      var BC = applet.BusComp();
      var ConId = BC.GetFieldValue("Contact Id");
      var WshShell = COMCreateObject("WScript.Shell");
      WshShell.Popup("My Custom Method was called. Here is the ID " + ConId);
      return(CancelOperation);
      break;
   }
   return (ContinueOperation);
}

The following example is in Siebel VB:

Function WebApplet_PreInvokeMethod (MethodName As String) As Integer
   Dim iReturn As Integer
   iReturn = ContinueOperation
   Select Case MethodName
   Case "CustomMethod"
      Dim oBusComp As BusComp
      Set oBusComp = Me.BusComp
      Dim WshShell As Object
      ConId = oBusComp.GetFieldValue("Contact Id")
      Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
      WshShell.Popup("My Custom Method was called. Here is the ID " & ConId)
      iReturn = CancelOperation
   End Select
   WebApplet_PreInvokeMethod = iReturn
End Function
