Posted on by muttakin

Hello Everyone,

I'm using the following code to open a web resource and update some data based on user activity.

Xrm.Navigation.openWebResource(webResourceModal, windowOptions, data)

function successCallback(returnValue) {

// do stuff

}

Upon closing the modal, I need to return some values to the calling script and reload the page. How do i trigger the successCallback function from the modal ?

Can anybody help me with this ? Thanks in advance.

In your web resource try adding a window.returnValue=yourvalue; and handle It in the success callback.

Hope it helps,

Marco

Hi muttakin,

If you are working with online version, then you could use Xrm.Navigation.navigateTo to open web resource, it is easy to execute custom function in its successCallback(upon closing the modal) function.

Hello Clofly,

I have tried to use Xrm.Navigation.navigateTo first. But it was not working. Then i find out that Xrm.Navigation.navigateTo only works in Unified interface but we are using Legacy Web Client for CRM. So i had to use Xrm.Navigation.openWebResource which does not have any callback attribute.

Hi muttakin,

Are you actually using Dynamics CRM 2016? Because I see you added it as tag for your question.

I didn't find a supported way to call successCallback function by using Xrm.Navigation.navigateTo.

You could try unsupported way to open your web resource and then run custom function before popup window closes.

And if CRM 2016 is your current environment, also check whether Xrm.Internal.openDialog or Xrm.Utility.openDialog still works.

If you are using online version, please migrate to UCI, the Legacy Web Client will be deprecated on Oct.

Hello Marco,

Since Xrm.Navigation.openWebResource doesn't have any successCallback attribute, how do I trigger the successCallback function when the modal closes ?

Thank you everyone for the help. I ended up using Window.open(). I didn't have to return any value to the parent, as I reload the page to see the changes. To solve my problem I've used the following code.

const url = "webResourceModal?Data=" + encodeURI(JSON.stringify(dataParam));

const windowName = "webResourceWindow";

const windowFeatures = "toolbar=no, location=no, directories=no, status=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=yes, copyhistory=no, width=800, height= 900";

const myModal = window.open(url, windowName, windowFeatures);

//successCallBack

myModal.onbeforeunload = () => {

//to reload page

Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm("EntityName", Id);

};
