How to make Save&Close event wait for few seconds and force execute save & Close

Posted on by Anonymus

Hi,

I am trying to prevent CRM 2011 default CRM form events of Save & Close and Save & New.

On Save & Close, I need to make form wait for 3 seconds and force close the form after 3 seconds.For this purpose, i used SeTimeout function to execute Xrm.Form.Ui.Close() function after 3 seconds

But with this method, the problem i am having is Xrm.Form.Ui.Close() function behaves as windlow.close which ask for a pop up every time on save & close whether to save or discard my changes.

So, I used the below code:

if (context.getEventArgs().getSaveMode() == 2) {
context.getEventArgs().preventDefault();
setTimeout(function () {
Xrm.Page.data.entity.save('saveandclose');
}, 3000);
}

But it is not closing my form. Can you please suggest any alternative for this problem.

Thanks.

try below code to pause save and close for sometime.It seems to be working as i can alert before it closes.

function preventAutoSave(econtext) {
var eventArgs = econtext.getEventArgs();
if (eventArgs.getSaveMode() == 2) {
setInterval(function(){alert("Hello")},3000);
}
}

I can pause the event successfully. But after pausing, I want to close the form. The close is not working.

If I use, window.close() or Xrm.Form.Ui.Close() functions to close the form, there is an other popup coming everytime asking whether to save my changes or discard my changes.

it showing the popup because still form is not yet saved. On save is called before crm saves the value. After pausing call save and close method as below

Xrm.Page.data.entity.save("saveandclose")

Hi Chitra,

I have something like this:

Xrm.page.data.entity.addOnSave(function(context){

callsomefunction();

//I need at least two seconds for this function to finish.

if (context.getEventArgs().getSaveMode() == 2) {

context.getEventArgs().preventDefault();

setTimeout(function () {

Xrm.Page.data.entity.save("saveandclose");

}, 2000);

}

}

);

This is making infinite loop. I need to find a way to close form after 2 seconds.

Keep one global variable with value true or false. In the time out function set this variable value to true. Before calling the setimeout function check the value of this field and call settimeout function only when variable is false. This way you can avoid infinite loop.
