Not able to open Canvas App

Posted on by Manish_Dyanamics 40

Hi All,

I am trying to open a Canvas app from Model Driven Application. Here is the code but its not working correctly. I am getting error saying Page Not Found in the Pop up.

Xrm.Navigation.navigateTo({pageType:"custom",name:"cr5ac_applyleave_a98fc"},{target: 2, position: 1, width: {value: 50, unit:"%"}});

Please let me know what mistake I am doing.

    Hi Manish,

    How did you create your canvas app? Did you use the new 'Custom Page' component through make.preview.powerapps.com? Indeed, the classic canvas app cannot be opened with the function Xrm.Navigation.navigateTo(). This function supports new custom pages only.

    Thank you so Mehdi. I was under impression that we can use navigateto to open Canvas app as well. If that is not the case then how can I open Canvas App on a click of button from Ribbon.

    Option 1:

    You can use this smart button : develop1.net/.../new-smart-button-custom-dialogs-in-model-driven-apps-using-canvas-apps

    Option 2

    You can create a web resource, then add your CanvasApps using an Iframe. Then you can open use Xrm.Navigation.navigateTo() to open the Web Resource.

    Please refer to this blog: dynamict.eu/.../

    It explains how to add a canvas app using an IFRAME to an HTML WebResource

    Good Luck !

    Hi,

    Were you able to solve your issue?

    Hi Mehdi,

    My main concern here that in my current project, they have done the same thing and it is working and I know very well that they have not designed the UI through Page. Old Canvas app is opened through navigateTo API client call. I was trying to do the same and I stuck here.

    So Just trying to understand what mistake I am doing here.

    Do I need to add anything in OnStart method of Canvas app or any special connectivity required between Model Driven and Canvas so that Model Driven app can recognize the Canvas App. I am still searching for the answers.
