Posted on by Prashant Wani 441

Hello friends,

                  We have requirement to hide or show the subgrid "+" button on the basis of parent form.

For ex : Suppose we have A and B entity. A entity is a parent entity and B is a child entity . A entity have subgrid of B entity and sugrid will have  "+" button.

                 Now if the A entity becomes read only , I want to hide that  "+" button else I want to show that "+"  button.Does anybody have idea about the same? How can we achieve this functionality?

Please help ASAP. It's urgent!!!!

    You can do this by enable rule for + button.

    Here are steps

    1. Open your customization in ribbon workbench.

    2. Click on Entity B subgrid navigation

    3. Select + new Button and right click and select customize command. 

    4. Then add Enable Rule 

    5. In the enable rule use Client JavaScript function. 

    6. In the client JavaScript function add following code. 

    DisableSubGridNewButton: function () {	
        if (Check Your required condition) {
            return false;
        }
        else
            return true;       
    },

    Call this function in enable rule

    7. Add enable rule for your +new button command 

    8. Save and publish your customization.. 

    When function return false.. at that time button will be hidden.. 

    If you have Associated view for this entity.. then might be your need to hide Add Existing button also.. 

    Hope this will help..

    How would I check the "Parent Form Type" in the given javascript on child entity?

    javascript going to run in the context of parent entity not in the context of child entity.So in the javascript just check for the form type  Xrm.Page.ui.getFormType() == 3 //read-only

    if it's read-only return true otherwise false.
