In the previous article, we discovered a hidden object called SWEApplets, that provides us access to the rendered Siebel view. We will learn how to utilise these objects to create funky developer tools, that will make your colleagues envious =)To begin with, we need our tool to be as portable as possible, it has to work in any environment without requiring changes to the respository, srf, template...
About View in Standard Interactivity - Part 1
The above title might seem like an oxymoron to all those experienced Siebel Standard Interactivity developers out there, but its true, there is something sadly missing in SI. I recently had my first taste of a SI application, since Siebel 6 Dotcom, and my first question was...Wheres about view? I wanted...
Pop up window for dual screen computers from 8 +
In one of my recent articles, i gave a tip on how to make pop up windows display on the same screen as the browser window in Siebel 7.Those people, who have 2 or more monitors, will understand this problem very well, but this trick no longer works in Siebel 8. After searching on ML without any luck, I started to do some trial and error.The Siebel 8 client config file dosnt have a [SWE] section, and...

Impossible reader Sajan, has responded to the 'About Record Applet' Challenge.The solution Sajan shares, higlights the use of ShowControl.

Reader Challenge - Show creator full name on 'About Record Applet'
This is our second reader challenge, and i've come up with something more achievable, but still impossible (our definition of impossible is when Siebel says it can't be done).As usual, this will take under 5 < minutes to prototype, and will be fun to try.RequirementWhen the user clicks on About Record,...
Return statement supressess error in script
The following tip belongs in the obscure category, and is worth understanding, because it can easily lead to mysterious problems in your code. RequirementWrite a sub function that returns a boolean on wether a record exists or not in a BC, and do further processing based on the result.The logic would look something like this.function doesRecordExist(){ var bExist = false; try { //query...
Pop up window for dual screen computers from 7.5.3 +
There is a little known trick that is documented in ML (Siebel CRM Fix Pack Guide, version 7.5.3 [Doc ID 546998.1]).It is so useful and yet so sad that many people are living without it. For people with dual monitors, when you open up a popup, it appears only on the primary monitor. For example, if you have your Siebel client on the secondary monitor and click on a popup applet, it opens in the primary...
Exporting different objects into one SIF
As a developer, we sometimes need to retrofit changes from one environment into another. Siffing is dangerous and some projects have banned this practice because the likelyhood of inadvertantly overwriting someoneone elses work. Reimplementing is safer and recommended, but there are times when you want...
