Firing JavaScript using custom Hosted Controls - USD

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Faran Saleem 295

Dear all,

I am trying to fire javaScript specifically setting values in localStorage using my js at different stages in USD.

I am firing through my Custom Hosted Controls (USD Hosted Controls) and since they do not have a runscript UII Action therefore I use other CRM Active hosted controls to fire my JS using FireRequestAction and passing hosted control, action and data from my custom hosted control.

Now the issue is when sometimes my other hosted control is unavailable then due to that my other functionality takes an effect as well as my js does not run. How can I fire my JS functions or scripts in a better way so I am not dependent on other Hosted controls and can work with USD Seamlessly. I am not sure if I can use Scriptlet for this purpose,

Please help.

    Hi Farhan,

    Assuming that your hosting type is IEProcess, you may create a hosted control for this purpose place it on hidden panel, and use it for this purpose.

    If hosting type is chrome, then approach does not work, you may have to plan to copy them in context in a special variable first then plan to have a generic RunScript action call on every BrowserDocumentComplete that reads the values from this Context variable if its not equals to "null" and pushes it into local storage, once done triggers another ActionCall from script using window.open("http://uii/Crm%20Global%20Manager/CopyToContext?specialvariablename=null")

    You mean to say I should create a new hosted control of type IE and place it on hidden panel. And then I can use that hosted control just to fire my runscript actions? I think I can do that. If this is what you are saying then I can try this approach.
