Invoking Custom Methods with MiniButtons Not Working

Question

Hi Experts,
I followed the steps in the Siebel 7.8 doc exactly to invoke method with
miniButton, but it gave me error:
The specialized method 'MyTest' is not supported on Business Component
'Account' used by Business Object 'Account'.(SBL-DAT-00322)
The steps I copied from the doc shown below, is the doc wrong in certain
step or anything else I need to take care? I also checked the Siebel
SupportWeb about the error code, but didn't seem to solve this simple test
case.
Any help is appreciated!

Invoking Custom Methods with MiniButtons
Be sure to set up Tools for the appropriate Target Browser Group.
To invoke a custom method with a MiniButton
1. Choose an applet (for example, Account List Applet) and create a
control with the following properties:
Name = ButtonTest
Caption = Test
HTML Type = MiniButton
Method Invoked = MyTest
2. Right click the Applet and choose Edit Web Layout.
The Web layout editor appears.
3. Change the template mode on the Web Controls toolbar to 3: Edit
List.
A window opens with the available controls, including the one you just
created.
4. Drag and drop the control the ButtonTest control onto an available
location. When you release the mouse button, the button appears.
5. Click Save and then choose File > Close.
6. To add a server script to the applet that enables the button,
right-click the applet and choose Edit Server Scripts. Add the following
script to the WebApplet_PreCanInvokeMethod() function.
function WebApplet_PreCanInvokeMethod (MethodName, &CanInvoke)
if ( MethodName == "MyTest" )
CanInvoke = "TRUE";
return( CancelOperation );
return (ContinueOperation);
7. Add the following browser script to the applet you are using (for
example, the Account List Applet).
function Applet_PreInvokeMethod (name, inputPropSet)
switch (name) {
case "MyTest":
alert( "Siebel 7 browser script!" );
return("CancelOperation");
break;
return ("ContinueOperation");
8. Run any application that has access to accounts, and go to the
Accounts screen.
The new button should appear.
9. Click Test.
The Browser Script should display an alert box indicating "Siebel 7
Browser Script!"

Hi
As said above I have tried with Account List Applet and created a new control with MethodInvoked Property=Test; HTML Type=Button and added to the weblayout
2.Enable the new button on the applet
Applet--->Server Script
function WebApplet_PreCanInvokeMethod (MethodName)
if(MethodName=="Test")
CanInvoke="True";
return(CancelOperation);
return (ContinueOperation);
3.Applet--->BrowserScript---->
function Applet_PreInvokeMethod (name, inputPropSet)
if(name=="Test")
alert ("Your Result is success")
     return ("ContinueOperation");
when clicked on button it was throwing following error:
Siebel Error Message SBL-DAT-00322: The specialized method is not supported on Business Component ' used by Business Object .
gone through support web and read possible reasons but I am not able to find out where I was wrong
I am using siebelV 7.7 ; Applet is using Class:"CSSFrameListBase". It is not a Copied applet.
Could you please suggest me.
Thank You,
