Tab focus function for unified interface not working

Posted on by Whitey@Work

Trying to achieve focus on a tab in the new V9 unified interface and the tab focus function is fully documented but nothing happens.
Debugging proves the below function executes but focus is not shifted to the tab in the UI.

Anyone tested or has a valid workaround?

        let tabResultsObj = formContext.ui.tabs.get("tab_search_result");
        if (tabResultsObj) {
            tabResultsObj.setFocus();
        }

Hi Whitey@work,

You can set the focus on tab by using below code in V9,

Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("tab_3").setFocus();

Also Refer : community.dynamics.com/.../223454

Best Regards,

I'm sorry but did you not look at my code sample?

XRM.Page is depreciated, so I already have tested with my sample code using the new Xrm classes.

I would suggest debug your code make sure formcontext and control you are getting.

I am not sure about your requirement , but try to focus any control inside tab . I hope it will do the same , instead of focusing directly tab.

Thanks. However the tab only contains a subgrid and no attributes and there is no focus on subgrids or sections.

Have same issue since we moved to new UUI early this year. It's perfectly working on the normal version but not UUI.

Did you find any solution?

Any update, setFocus is not working on an attribute in CRM 9.0 UI

formContext.getControl(arg).setFocus();

Yes, I resolved this myself.

Use the tab expanded function and it sets that tab in focus.

contextObj.setDisplayState("expanded");

This should be documented!
