Hello, 

I've been receiving the following error in my code once I've injected it onto my form - formContext.ui.tabs.get(...).setDisabled is not a function

Here is my code:

function HideAndDisableTabsBasedOnBPFStage(executionContext) {
    var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
   
    // Hide and disable tabs based on the current BPF stage
    var bpfStageId = formContext.data.process.getActiveStage().getId();
    switch (bpfStageId) {
        case "abbda151-be8f-462a-99b9-b32231baadaf":
            // Hide and disable tabs for Request stage
            formContext.ui.tabs.get("tab_Requestor").setVisible(true);

    Hi AK91,

    Yes we can not apply  setDisabled() method to the tab/section. You can hide the tabs based on your current selected tab.


    Thanks,

    As I was working with the issue, I realized that setVisible can be applied to tabs, however, setDisable can only be applied to individual controls.  I was able to modify my code to fit this although it was a bit tedious.

        export function getFormContext(parent?: Window): Xrm.FormContext {
        //debugger;
        let context: Xrm.FormContext;

        if (formContext) {
            context = formContext;
        }
        return context;
    }
//Hide a tab
export function hideTab(tabName: string): void {
var tab = getFormContext().ui.tabs.get(tabName);

if (tab != null) {
tab.setVisible(false);
}
}

//show a tab
export function showTab(tabName: string): void {
var tab = getFormContext().ui.tabs.get(tabName);

if (tab != null) {
tab.setVisible(true);
}
}

    The only thing that comes to mind why it wouldn't work is I remember when we went from V8 to V9 we had to swap all the 1/0 to true/false but that doesn't seem to be the case

            break;

    I've tried this code to try disabling the sections within a tab and received the error: formContext.ui.tabs.get(...).sections.get(...).setDisabled is not a function

    Hi Manoj Mane ,

    As my business process flow progresses to different stages, I would like to hide/disable other tabs on my form. So, for instance, when my BPF reaches the 'JBSIS' stage, I want to display the Requestor and Court Approver tabs but not allow the users to edit the information within them.

    Hi AK91,

    Not sure what is it you are trying to do. you can't disable a section/tab - there is no setDisabled() method:

    learn.microsoft.com/.../formcontext-ui-tabs

     

    Thanks,

    Manoj Mane.

    I'd also like to note that if I delete all the setDisabled code and leave the setVisible code, the script executes perfectly. Not sure why it is not working for setDisabled even though I see a lot of documentation online where the code is the same in my script above.
