Good post Swati!

The only thing which doesn’t look nice is use of “String Override”. I understand that here it’s done like this for simplicity, but I think it would be worth to mention here that Symbolic Strings should be used instead of Override. It can save weeks if you will need to rename your controls or implement other languages.

Thanks Andrey,
Yes, String Reference is always a better option. “String Override” has been used here for simplicity and for beginners.

Hi Swati,
I compiled the applet by following the same procedure ,it is working . But in "Applet User Properties" if I select "FALSE" in value field, it is not working . The "delete" button is still enabled.
Whenever I select "TRUE" or "FALSE" in the Value field , it shows following error message..
There is no validation�available for this expression; thus, validity cannot be determined at design time. Please verify the expression by compiling the change into the srf file and testing in the runtime client.(SBL-DEV-62310)
and after clicking on "OK" of this error message the value is selected in Value field.

Hi ,
I too tried the same thing but i didt get any error..
Go through the below information..
Name CanInvokeMethod: MethodName
Value Value or expression that returns TRUE or FALSE or the literal values TRUE or FALSE
Usage This user property is used to enable and disable methods declaratively. When the
value is TRUE or the expression returns TRUE, then the method is enabled,
otherwise it is disabled.
For example, Copy Record on the Partner Product List Applet is disabled by
default:
■ Name: CanInvokeMethod: CopyRecord
■ Value: FALSE
Consider also the following example of using an expression for the value on the
SIS Account List Applet where you want to enable the copy record feature for
accounts that have a status, but disable this feature for all other accounts:
■ Name: CanInvokeMethod: CopyRecord
■ Value: [Account Status] IS NOT NULL
You can inactivate or modify the value for this user property. You can also create
new instances of this user property as needed.
Parent Object
Type
Applet
Functional Area CSSFrame, CSSFrameList, and their subclasses
