Hi there,

I have added a button to my custom entity so that on the click of that button a dialog should be opened,

The web resource code for the button I have added below:

<html><head><meta charset="utf-8"></head><body><button onclick="openDialogProcess('%7b890D1424-7F35-49F1-9E5A-5A3180A1FA66%7d','new_nameh',objectId)" type="button" ;=""> Click Me!</button> 
</body></html>

I got the dialogId and entityName but the objectID depends on the record that has been selected.

and a javascript in the form properties is:

function openDialogProcess(dialogId,entityName,objectId)
{
var url = Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl() + "/cs/dialog/rundialog.aspx?DialogId=" +
dialogId +"&EntityName=" +entityName + "&ObjectId=" + objectId;
window.open(url);
}

I haven't set any event or parameters for the javascript.

the problem is when I click on the button nothing happens! and the dialog doesn't open up. any ideas?

RE: Opening the dialog on button click

use this addons for call dialog

[View:https://processjs.codeplex.com/:750:50]

Call Dialog

Note: This function has been deprecated. It will remain in the solution, however no future enhancements or fixes will be done. Please check out Alert.js for a better way of showing dialogs.

Opens the specified dialog for a particular record in a CRM light-box, or Modal Dialog if run from Outlook. Once the dialog is closed, a custom callback function can be executed, e.g. to refresh the form with new data set by the dialog.

Parameters: Dialog ID/Guid, Entity Name, Record ID/Guid, Callback function, CRM Base URL (not required on forms/views)

Usage:

Process.callDialog("C50B3473-F346-429F-8AC7-17CCB1CA45BC", "contact", Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId(), function () { Xrm.Page.data.refresh(); });

Note you must add process.js library on form onload

Hi Sam,

You can append or insert a button on the form using javascript on Document Ready and then assign your dialog open function to the onClick event.

Thanks.

Hi Sam,

To open up the dialog box on button click, you can use functions given below.

Just copy and Paste the Javascript Functions in the Javascript Library file like this -

Open Form Editor:

1.    Go To “Form Properties” Option.

2.    A New Form Open, Click Events Tab.

3.    Click on “Add” button from Event Handler Section. Specify the function name to call on selected event. Click Save.

4.    Now, click “Edit Library” button from Event Handler Section. Copy and Paste functions given below in the form.

function runDialog() {
    var dialogID = "F0BC9064-7F1B-4046-AD68-A4CDCSJGDJSJKA";
    var today = new Date();
    var serverUri = Mscrm.CrmUri.create('/cs/dialog/rundialog.aspx');
    var time = 2000;
    var objId = Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId();
    setTimeout(
     function () {
         window.showModalDialog(serverUri + '?DialogID={' + dialogID + '}&EntityName=lead&ObjectId=' + objId, null, 'width=615,height=480,resizable=1,status=1,scrollbars=1');
     }, time);
}

// To Open Quick Create Form
function OpenFeedbackForm() {
    //lookup object of current lead record
    var parrentLead = {
        entityType: "lead",
        id: Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId()
    };

    var parameters = {
        companyname: Xrm.Page.getAttribute("companyname") != null && Xrm.Page.getAttribute("companyname").getValue() != null ? Xrm.Page.getAttribute("companyname").getValue() : "",
        fullname: Xrm.Page.getAttribute("fullname") != null && Xrm.Page.getAttribute("fullname").getValue() != null ? Xrm.Page.getAttribute("fullname").getValue() : "",
        jobtitle: Xrm.Page.getAttribute("jobtitle") != null && Xrm.Page.getAttribute("jobtitle").getValue() != null ? Xrm.Page.getAttribute("jobtitle").getValue() : "",
        new_agenda: Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_agenda") != null && Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_agenda").getValue() != null ? Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_agenda").getValue() : "",
        ownerid: Xrm.Page.getAttribute("ownerid") != null && Xrm.Page.getAttribute("ownerid").getValue() != null ? Xrm.Page.getAttribute("ownerid").getValue() : "",
        new_smename: Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_smename") != null && Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_smename").getValue() != null ? Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_smename").getValue() : "",
        decisionmaker: Xrm.Page.getAttribute("decisionmaker") != null && Xrm.Page.getAttribute("decisionmaker").getValue() != null ? Xrm.Page.getAttribute("decisionmaker").getValue() : "",
        purchasetimeframe: Xrm.Page.getAttribute("purchasetimeframe") != null && Xrm.Page.getAttribute("purchasetimeframe").getValue() != null ? Xrm.Page.getAttribute("purchasetimeframe").getValue() : ""
    };
    Xrm.Utility.openQuickCreate("Lead", parrentLead, parameters).then(function (lookup) { successCallback(lookup); }, function (error) { errorCallback(error); });
}

function successCallback(lookup) {
    alert('succes');
    console.log("lookup: " + lookup.savedEntityReference.id);
}

function errorCallback(e) {
    console.log("Error: " + e.errorCode + " " + e.message);
}

RE: Opening the dialog on button click

Hi Sam,

what is the object ID you were passing, it should be entityId/objectID of the custom entity you created(like 112 for case/incident)

Also, if you button is inside a web resource, you need to use parent.Xrm to access page level XRM methods/properties

try this: var url = parent.Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl() + "/cs/dialog/rundialog.aspx?DialogId=" +
dialogId +"&EntityName=" +entityName + "&ObjectId=" + objectId;

Please check what error you were thrown by presseing f12(client debugging)
