S-Control as related list?

Hi!

I'm currently writing an S-control to present some data from a ticket system. It's working fine, and I have it set up in the Contact Page Layout.

However, I would like it to be represented in the same manner as the Related List sections (i.e. Opportunies, Cases, Open Activities aso.)

Is that possible? When I try to drag an S-control to the Related List Section, an alert says: "S-controls must be placed in the field sections.".

Any workarounds would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Christian

1. Create your own Visualforce page to display the data in a related list section. S-Controls are no longer recommended except for few select cases. Examples abound in the documentation to get you started.

2. Import the data from the ticket system into a custom object, let's call it TicketData. Add a lookup on TicketData to Contact and then you can show it as a related list on Contact page layout. Since the ticket data is from external source, am guessing you want to give read only read access to your users.
