Hi,

I need to get the (system) view id of the currently displaying View in javascript,

basically I want to set visibility of different ribbon buttons based on the view user has selected, I'm writing a js and use Ribbon Workbench to set visibility of the custom buttons based on this js and in the js function I need to know which View (user or system) is showing.

am I in a right path?

and can I get that guid?

Hi,

are you referring to subgrid view or Entity homepage view?

seems there is no such supported way you can get the view ID. You can try with accessing DOM. Although this is not recommended by Microsoft.

<a tabindex="0" title="Select a view" class="ms-crm-View-Name ms-crm-View-Name-View-Lite" id="crmGrid_SavedNewQuerySelector" style="text-decoration: none; position: relative;" onclick="return false;" href="javascript:;" gridid="crmGrid"><span class="ms-crm-View-Name ms-crm-ViewSelector-title-associated-lite ms-crm-TextAutoEllipsis" currentviewtype="1039" quickfindquery="{8DF19B44-A073-40C3-9D6D-EE1355D8C4BA}" userownedview="{00000000-0000-0000-00AA-000010001003}" userselecteddefaultview="" defaultsavedqueryview="{6FC35112-D06B-E711-8103-000C29CBC14A}" currentview="{6FC35112-D06B-E711-8103-000C29CBC14A}">New Customers</span><span class="ms-crm-View-icon ms-crm-ViewSelector-dropdown-icon-associated-lite"><img class="ms-crm-View-icon-associated-lite ms-crm-ImageStrip-Dropdown_Arrow" alt="Select a view" src="/_imgs/imagestrips/transparent_spacer.gif?ver=-1886137834"></span></a></div>

Let me know if this helps.

actually this is the way I'm going but I was hopping that there was a supported method

anyway this is the working js, for future reference

var cv = document.querySelectorAll('[currentview]');

if (cv != null && cv[0] != null) {

var currViewId = cv[0].getAttribute("currentview");

var currViewType = cv[0].getAttribute("currentviewtype");

}
