To demonstrate this, lets consider an example of Google Map.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lets create a S-Control for the Google Map.<\/p>\n

Now let’s first create a new S-Control:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Click on “Setup” which is located on the top right corner of the force.com page.<\/li>\n
  2. Expand “Develop” item and click on “S-Controls”<\/li>\n
  3. Hit “New Custom\u00a0S-Control”<\/li>\n
  4. Provide a Label “Google Map<\/span>” and a description is you wished to<\/li>\n
  5. The Type should be HTML since we want to create a HTML, Google API mash up<\/li>\n
  6. Now it is time to enter the code for the S-Control<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    \"S-Control<\/div>\n
