Accessing parent CRM page controls from custom HTML resource

Posted on by Tony Suslovich 109

Hi all,

I have a custom html page that pops up on a click of a command bad button. This html page creates some records in CRM via javascript code and I want to refresh a sub-grid on the CRM form from which the html page was initiated. I tried using parent.Xrm.Page.getControl("my_subgrid").refresh() but it's not working as it's not fetching the sub-grid object. I'm getting an error:

Cannot read property 'refresh' of null

Has anyone ever succeeded doing something like this before?

Thanks,

-Tony.

    Hi Ajyendra, I'm using window.open but that wasn't the issue. Pravin above was kind enough to provide the correct solution, so I'm good now. Thanks.

    Hello Kabarousse, thanks for your reply. I'm on 365 (on-prem) and I am trying to access objects and functions using SDK as I mentioned in my question. It's just not working.

    Hello,

    If you are on Dynamics 20111 use window.parent.xrm.page....

    on Dynamics CRM Version > 4 you should add

    <head>

     <title>HTML Web Resource</title>

     <script src="ClientGlobalContext.js.aspx" type="text/javascript" ></script>

    </head>

    and after that you can access SDK objects and fucntions,

    I hope this helps :)
