Automatically retrieve the name of the web resource control in forms

Posted on by sbelzile

Hello,

I am creating a control for my Dynamics CRM forms. This control is basically a simple HTML web resource with some JS. In the JS code, I would like to do the following:

parent.Xrm.Page.getControl(currentControlName);

As the currentControlName is something that may change depending on who adds it the form, I do not want to hardcode in my resource:

var currentControlName = "WebResource_[a control name]";

Is there a way to automatically determine in which control my JS is running?

Hi sbelzile, you will need to iterate through the controls on the form using Xrm.Page.ui.controls.forEach(delegate function(control, index))..

You can then check the control type and also if it has a particular webresource...
