Refresh an Editable Sub Grid with JavaScript

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

I have tried the following:

  • document.all['GridName'].control.refresh();
  • document.getElementById("GridName").control.fireControlEvent("OnRefresh", Sys.EventArgs.Empty);
  • window.parent.opener.document.getElementById("GridName").control.refresh();
  • var subgrid = Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get("GridName");
    subgrid.refresh();

All to no avail and keep getting: TypeError: Cannot read property 'refresh' of null at refreshSubGrid  

Any help most welcome

    Hi,

    Maybe you can use "data.refresh", it works with normal grids but don't test with editable grids.

    of course should not forget that this method refresh all form data

    Thanks Goutam, adding in a Timeout fixed the issue.

    Hi,

    Can you validate the name of the grid is correct in your code, and that you are getting a return value for the following:

    var gridName = "new_subgridname";

    var subgrid = Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get(gridName);

    subgrid.refresh();

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Graeme,

    Seems the control not loaded properly and it's getting null. So you can try to add setTimeout or set interval and offcourse null check of grid control before doing grid refresh.

    Hope this helps.

    The error "Cannot read property 'refresh' of null at refreshSubGrid" sim,ply means that the the script is unable to find the subgrid.

    Ensure youi are using the correct name

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Greame,

    Which version are you in? I tried it on 8.2 and it is working as expected.

    I tried on the out of box Account entity for the Contacts subgrid. Here is the sample script

    ========

    function refreshContactGrid()

    {

    var subgrid = Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get("Contacts");

    subgrid.refresh();

    }
