Issue while getting the GridContext on save event of a editable subgrid

Hey
I'm facing the problem to get gridContext on save event of a editable subgrid. I need to get the data from editable subgrid and do some operations on the form but while getting the grid from gridContext it shows the error message called "gridContext.getGrid is not a function".

I'm referring the below msdn link to get gridContext and grid data.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customer-engagement/developer/clientapi/clientapi-grid-context
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customer-engagement/developer/clientapi/reference/grids/gridrowdata

Can anyone please advise on this? It is very urgent.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Jalak,

Try with this with getControl("GridName")-

var myRows= formContext.getControl("gridName").getGrid().getRows();

executionContext.getFormContext() in this scope will give you only "GridRowContext".

For example you can access each attribute in a row like this:

executionContext.getFormContext().data.entity.attributes.getByName("selectedRowAttributeName");

I don't know if this is a bug, but I also wasn't able to get the whole GridContext for this event.

I can see in the second line of screenshot retrieving formContext but you gave the name gridcontext.

function onEmployeeDetailsSave(executionContext) { var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); // get the form Context var gridContext = formContext.getControl("Contacts"); // get the grid context provinding subgrid name var myRows = gridContext.getGrid().getRows(); }

Hi jalak,

Check the below link. The grid context depends upon from where you are calling the javascript.

docs.microsoft.com/.../clientapi-grid-context

Once you get the gridcontex, you can get the rows as well -

docs.microsoft.com/.../gridrowdata

Hope this helps.

Having the same issue with the "onChange" event.

This is an issue with Microsoft's documentation here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customer-engagement/developer/clientapi/clientapi-grid-context

That link gives an example to get "gridContext".

This link gives an example to "getGrid" from "gridContext": https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customer-engagement/developer/clientapi/reference/grids/gridcontrol/getgrid

However, the "gridContext" from "onChange" does not have a "getGrid" function.

@Microsoft - please update your documentation to be more clear.

the context depends on the control/form that is firing the event .

if the event is onload /onchange/onsave of the form you will get the form context , if the event is from a editable grid onchange you get the row context . please explain what you want to achieve and we may be able to suggest better solution.
