Disable an HTML control in HTML web resource inserted on a Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 entity form after saving the form

Hi,

I have added an HTML web resource (containing an option set field) on one of the custom entities form. I want to disable the field (that is option set or drop-down list on the HTML web resource) when a new form is saved. That means the field will only remain enabled for a new form and will get disabled as soon as the form is saved and will remain disabled further. I have written JavaScript code on load of the entity form to keep the field enabled for "New" form and disable it for "Update" form.

The field is not getting disabled when a new record for the entity is saved. Because, in CRM 2013, the form does not get refreshed after saving it and hence the OnLoad event does not get triggered.

Any idea how to solve this issue?

If the form is not refreshed after save, can't you just disable the field in the save event as well? If the save event has completed successfully then it is a update form.

Hi Purva,

try this code on your form load, and make necessary changes in control Id,

function DisableHTMLWebresouceControl() { //Get HTML web resource control var webRefCtrl = Xrm.Page.getControl('Your web resource ID from form').getObject(); //web resource HTML document var htmlDoc=webRefCtrl.contentDocument; //get list of controls by tag name var ctrlList = htmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('select'); //get list of controls by Id var ctrlById= doc.getElementById('textCtrl'); //If web resource is not loaded yet, then call same function after some time. if(ctrlList[0]==null) { setTimeout(DisableHTMLWebresouceControl,1000) return; } // disable control in HTML web resource. ctrlList[0].disabled =true; }

This code is disabling HTML web resource control from Form script.. I dont know this is supported or not because web are using DOM, but using DOM we are not modifying CRM form, we are modifying web resource

check

Hope this will helps you to solve your problem.

Thanks,

Thanks Deepesh and Mahadeo.

The solution provided by both of you works for me.

Also, "Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get('WebResource_Name')" and " Xrm.Page.getControl('WebResource_Name')" methods are not supported by Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online. Hence, both the solutions work for Microsoft Dynamics RM 2013 on-premises only.

Is there any way to support the functionality for Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online as well?
