Refresh/Reload Quick View Form from JavaScript

Hi all,

I've have a lookup field (Contacts) inside Phone Call form that works fine with a related Quick View Form.

The problem is that I'm changing the lookup field value via JavaScript and even if I call fireOnChange the Quick View Form never gets updated.

I'm looking for a similar functionality like the well known .refresh() for Sub-Grids.

Thanks!

Hi, you can try using the following code, i assume you have a sub-grid inside your quick view right?

Xrm.Page.getControl('your sub-grid name').refresh();

No, I don't have any sub-grids. In the PhoneCall form I have a lookup field (for Contacts) and a quick view form. The lookup is set as the primary source of the quick view.

The problem is that when I dynamically set a value for that lookup (via JavaScript) the quick view doesn't show any data. If you save and reload the whole page (F5) then it does.

Can I refresh the QVF without having to force the user to reload the page?!

Can you give a try to this.

Code Snippet:

gridControl = Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get("your quick view name");

gridControl.refresh();

Alternatively, you could use the following.

document.getElementById("your quick view name").control.refresh();

Hi Tiago,

As the SDK says refresh() method is only applicable to SubGrid controls, nevertheless I've tested it with a Quick View and didn't work.

I try to avoid the use of document.getElementById because it is technically a DOM manipulation so my code would become unsupported.

So, returning to my issue, it is not yet solved.

It's really hard for me to believe this is a platform limitation, but I guess it is, which is sad.

Hi All,

I faced the same problem but i choose a workaround i.e. Using js i have updated a lookup field(temp) and saved the form. I created another field with same data type and on update of 1st field i ran a real time workflow that will update the 2 nd field with same data as in the first on which quick view is set.

Then i was able to see the data in quick view form.

Thanks and Regards

Hi,

I have used this code, Its working fine.

var lookup = new Array();
lookup[0] = new Object();
lookup[0].id = "E11EBEB2-9632-E411-A983-D89D676512B4";
lookup[0].name = "Deactivate";
lookup[0].entityType = "contact";
var contactAttribute = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_contact");
if (contactAttribute != null) {
contactAttribute.setValue(lookup);
contactAttribute.fireOnChange()
}

Munavvar Husein Shaikh's code worked for me too. fireOnChange() fixed my problem.

This may help someone else.

I tried this and it worked to trigger the update of the view. If fires 2 times. But a work around for refresh not applicable.

currentvalue = lookupcontrol.getValue();

lookupcontrol.setValue(null);

lookupcontrol.setValue(currentvalue);
