I'm working with crm 2016, I have a form with two sub-grids with views from the same Entity. When I click on the add one button of sub grid A I use certain business logic when I use the add one button of sub grid B I use another business logic. I need to know which sub-grid in focus or which tab in focus to distinguished between both.
How do I do that ? or if there is another option to do that ?

Try this

var grid = Xrm.Page.getControl("subGridgridName");

Thanks

hi,

If I understand you correctly, you have custom button? If so, you need to pass the control as a CRM Parameter.

If then you should pass the context of the control and then get it in your script. Please take a look at this article for reference:

Hey Piotr

I have 2 subgrids with views from the same entity on one form. when I click on + and open a new from ( a record from that subgrid) I have to run a different business logic for each grid. Each sub grid in a different tab as well. I need to know when I open my NEW form where it opens from and by that term I'll run my business logic, it's not specific for a custom button. iBut if you have another option to fix my case i'll be happy to know :)

Hi Sahara,

You can keep a flag or dummy field on the subgrid entity and based on the logic set it's value true or false. For Example- If you have to perform Business Logic A - Set flag value to True on subgrid form else set False.

Then create separate views with one that only includes records having flag value set to True and one having flag value set to False. Like this way you can distinguish both the subgrids of same entity.

Hope this helps.

If found useful, please mark the answer as verified.

Ah, OK. So this is more complicated as you need to be aware that the change will impact all subgrids (also the ones on other forms!)

Having said that, you would need to modify the "Add new {0}" button (i.e. using Ribbon Workbench, or any other tool you wish) and call custom javascript to create new form and pass information what subgrid triggered the creation (Selected Control).

The code for opening create form is here: msdn.microsoft.com/.../jj602956.aspx

I have described the steps needed to pass the value here: community.dynamics.com/.../276486

Please be aware that this will include all creations of records from subgrids, regardless on parent entity, so you should also include this in your implementation

I don't belive that the dummy flag will suffice, because you won't be able to set it up when opening new form.
