1. Mscrm.InlineEditUtilities.tryResetFocusOnActiveControl();

2. Mscrm.InternalUtilities._Script.alert

3. Xrm.Internal.getResourceString

Thank You,

GSK.

Hi,

I don't think these were ever supported. These are intermal method and should not be used.

For 'Mscrm.InternalUtilities._Script.alert' it looks like you used this to show alert. For this you can use, Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(message,onCloseCallback)

msdn.microsoft.com/.../jj602956.aspx

For other commands, please share the logic/ scenario where you have used these commands.

I hope this helps.

Hi Ravi, thank you for the prompt response. Seems, we don't require the above mentioned commands. Even after removing those commands also our functionality is working as expected. But issue is Xrm.Internal.Progress we are using and looking for an updated command for this. Basically we are converting an email to case with a custom web resource and trying to show the progress with this

Since you are worried about the deprecation of commands, the July 2017 Update (where the deprecation was announced), contains the method Xrm.Utility.showProgressIndicator, which is somewhat the replacement of Xrm.Internal.Progress that you are using.

Deprecation of commands is not immediate. That means that it is still working in the July 2017 Update, and will give you some time to fix your code before moving to the next release.

Although, you should not have used the Internal methods, I would say that since they are working, leave them until you are moving to the next release where you can use the OOB showProgressIndicator as mentioned.

See link here:

docs.microsoft.com/.../showprogressindicator

Hope this helps.

There is cool feature to make user to wait upon some time take operation in the background by showing custom message on progress bar.

Call the below js upon the event triggered.

function ShowCustomMsg() { Xrm.Utility.showProgressIndicator("Loading contact email.."); setTimeout(delayedLoadPrimaryContact, 10000); }

For more detail. Pls refer below link.

community.dynamics.com/.../dynamics-365-v9-progress-indicator-api

Hope this will solve your problem.

Thank You Aric for the information. I have tried shoeprogressindicator, but seems it supports from V9 and above. But I am looking for this to work in D 365 8.1 and 8.2 (since most of applications are currently D 365 8.1 and 8.2 we are working). Any Suggestions or Workaround on this? - main motto is to use in-built CRM commands.

Alternatively you can use sweetalert JS to achieve this

Code for alert:

swal({

title: "Background Process Ongoing!",

text: "I will close in 2 seconds.",

timer: 2000,

showConfirmButton: false

});

Reference Link: sweetalert.js.org/docs

You can use this for 8.1, 8.2.. u might need to add jquery on the form.

function loading() {
var loadingDiv = "<div id='divLoading'style='width: 100%; height: 100%; display: block; position: fixed; top:0px; background:rgba(255,255,255,0.5);'><table style='width: 100%; height: 100%;'><tr><td align='center' style='vertical-align: middle;'>";
loadingDiv += "<img id='loading' alt='' src='..//WebResources/val_progressbar'/><br/>";
loadingDiv += "<label id='lblStatus'>Processing.....</label>";
loadingDiv += "</td></tr></table></div>";
$($('body', window.parent.document)).append(loadingDiv);

}
function CloseDialog() {
$($('body', window.parent.document)).find("#divLoading").remove();
}
