How to refresh a form at the end of a dialog

Dear all,

I have investigated many hours to find a solution for my problem but i did not find something right. I change some fields in my underlie form by dialog. If the dialog will close the user did not see the important changes (e.g. a filled lookup field).

Is there a possibility to reload a form when a dialog is finished?

Some important hint: The dialog starts by an OnLoad Script if the record is in a certain status with the following code:

window.open("/" + Xrm.Page.context.getOrgUniqueName() + "/cs/dialog/rundialog.aspx?DialogId=%7b24C3F6F7-0ED8-4093-9AB8-F45AC38075D5%7d&EntityName=salesorder&ObjectId=" + Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId());

Maybe I can wait on a close-event by this dialog or something else?

Thanks a lot.

You could try something like this:

function OpenDialog() { OpenDialogWithRefresh("95c0e04c-b3cd-4684-9877-38f01c03f198", "account", Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId()); } function OpenDialogWithRefresh(dialogID,entityType, recordId) { window.showModalDialog(Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl() + "/cs/dialog/rundialog.aspx" + "?DialogId=" + dialogID + "&EntityName=" + entityType + "&ObjectId=" + recordId, null, "dialogHeight:600px;dialogWidth:800px;center:yes; resizable:1;maximize:1;minimize:1;status:no;scroll:no"); window.location.reload(true); }

RE: How to refresh a form at the end of a dialog

We often launch Dialogs from Ribbon buttons to save a few clicks. But you could fire this code in the OnLoad event too, specifying if you wish to refresh, by setting the function param to "true".

If you were to use this function with a Ribbon button, the action would be a JavaScript Function, and the params would be (in order) String, String, Crm Parameter, Boolean Parameter.

var popup;

var detailsWindowTimer;

function LaunchModalDialog(dialogID, typeName, recordId, refresh) {

var url = window.location.protocol + "//" + window.location.host;

if (window.location.href.indexOf(Xrm.Page.context.getOrgUniqueName()) > 0) {

url = url + "/" + Xrm.Page.context.getOrgUniqueName();

}

url = url + '/cs/dialog/rundialog.aspx';

popup = window.open(url + '?DialogId=' + dialogID + '&EntityName=' + typeName + '&ObjectId=' + recordId, "Dialog", "status=0,toolbar=0,scrollbars=0, resizable=1");

if (refresh != null && refresh == true) {

detailsWindowTimer = setInterval("WatchDetailsWindowForClose()", 600); //Poll

}

}

function WatchDetailsWindowForClose() {

if (!popup || popup.closed) {

/// Do your stuff here....

clearInterval(detailsWindowTimer); //stop the timer

window.location.reload(true);

}

}

Thank you very much for your help.

So my problem instead is solved, because your solutions works. But in this case another problem occurs.

I get the message if I want really leave this site caused by my implemented reload.

Is there any opportunity to suppress this message for this case?

This is probably because the data on the form has been modified prior to executing the CRM Dialog.

You could try modifying the WatchDetailsWindowForClose function:

function WatchDetailsWindowForClose() {

if (!popup || popup.closed) {

/// Do your stuff here....

clearInterval(detailsWindowTimer); //stop the timer

if(Xrm.Page.data.entity.getIsDirty() == true) {

Xrm.Page.data.entity.save();

} else {

window.location.reload(true);

}

}

}

RE: How to refresh a form at the end of a dialog

Hi Michael,

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread.

Thanks for posting your code. Initially I only had three parameters for dialogID, typeName and recordID (string, string and GUID), and then just added a new boolean one for refresh.

Then I modified my code slightly to contain your solution to refresh the page after the popup window closed. However the page is never refreshed. I put some alert messages in my code however they never show up either.

Any suggestion is appreciated, thanks.

-tri

function startDialog(dialogID, typeName, recordId, refresh)
{
var serverUri = Mscrm.CrmUri.create('/cs/dialog/rundialog.aspx');
var popup = window.open(serverUri + '?DialogId=' + dialogID + '&EntityName=' + typeName + '&ObjectId=' + recordId, "Dialog", "dialogHeight:600px;dialogWidth:800px;center:yes;resizable:1;maximize:1;minimize:1;status:no;scroll:no");

var dialogWindow = openStdWin(serverUri + '?DialogId=' + dialogID + '&EntityName=' + typeName + '&ObjectId=' + recordId, "Dialog", "dialogHeight:600px;dialogWidth:800px;center:yes;resizable:1;maximize:1;minimize:1;status:no;scroll:no");

//var timer = setInterval(function () { attachActionAfterClose(dialogWindow) }, 1000);

alert("bah");

//if (refresh != null && refresh == true) {
var detailsWindowTimer = setInterval("WatchDetailsWindowForClose()", 600); //Poll

}

function WatchDetailsWindowForClose() {
if (!popup || popup.closed) {
alert("refreshing!!");
clearInterval(detailsWindowTimer); //stop the timer
window.location.reload(true);
}

Hi Triangular,

Try this:

Xrm.Page.data.refresh(true);

instead of window.location.reload(true);

It worked from me.

A big Thank you to Michael Dodd. You code helped me make my day.

I was not able to mark your post as THE answer. How should I do it? :)

RE: How to refresh a form at the end of a dialog

There is not out of box feature to support this, but I created a generic method to refresh the form after dialog process completes with some button custom JScript.

Here is a complete blog post for detailed answer
