Hi,

I want to show / hide ribbon button based on view name . For eg , when i open contacts in Dynamics 365 , by default "My Active Contacts" view is opened and i have created another custom view "RL Contacts" . So i want to hide Ribbon button in one view i.e "My Active Contacts" and when "RL Contacts" view is opened then ribbon button should be visible.

So how can i do this?

i tried following below url where it has explained adding some enable rules in ribbon workbench . So i have tried it .This approach only disable ribbon button . it does not hide it.

I want that this ribbon button should be hidden too not only disabled.

Hi,

To hide the button you need a display rule.

Please follow ribbonworkbench.uservoice.com/.../76681-hide-a-standard-out-of-the-box-button-based-on-a

Hi Luis Nogueira ,

Thanks for sharing post . Hiding by adding enable rule is understood by me.

But condidtion based on which ribbon button will be hidden that is not working for me

I want to hide ribbon button based on View Name. Any idea about that ?

Hi Mayank,

i am able to hide using display rule but i am not able to fetch view name in custom javascript

Can you suggest some command which will fetch view name so that based on view name i will be able to show or hide ribbon button.

Thanks

Please create command(Pass the CRM parameter to JS fucntion) and call the below JS on load to get the view name and then create a Display rule based on the view name.

function getViewName(selectedCtl) { debugger; var viewName = selectedCtl.get_viewTitle(); alert(viewName); }

Call the below method to return Boolean for the display rule.

function HideButtonBasedOnViewSelected (selectedCtrl) { var query = selectedCtrl.get_viewTitle(); if (query == 'Your View Name') { return false; } else return true; }

Make as Verified, if it resolved your query

Hi Syed,

Thanks for your input.

I already tried this code snippet shared by you. This only works upto CRM 2015 . It does not work in Dynamics 365.

I got below javascript error when i used this javascript code snippet.

Error :- object doesn't support property or method 'get_viewTitle'

Do you have any idea what code will work in Dynamics 365 ?
