Posted on by Tanmay D365

Hi,

I am looking for a code snippet that opens a Canvas App as an HTML web page, once the JavaScript file is executed.

And I want to copy field values from the model-driven app form, to the Canvas App, and display those fields on the Canvas App.

Thank you!

Here is the code I have used.

// JavaScript Code

var CustomizeOpportunity = {

sendOpportunityFields : function(executionContext)

{

debugger;

var formContext = executionContext;

var opportunityGuid = formContext.data.entity.getId();

var opportunityTopic = formContext.getAttribute("name").getValue();

// var opportunityCurrency = formContext.getAttribute("transactioncurrencyid").getValue();

// var potentialCustomer = formContext.getAttribute("customerid").getValue();

// var opportunityStatus = formContext.getAttribute("statecode").getValue();

// var opportunityOwner = formContext.getAttribute("ownerid")

alert(opportunityGuid + opportunityTopic);

// Initializing Web Resource Parameter

var pageInput = {

pageType: "webresource",

webresourceName: "cc2_html"

};

// Declaring HTML Page Dimensions

var navigationOptions = {

target: 2,

width: 1050, // in pixels

height: 900, // in pixels

position: 1

};

XMLHttpRequest.Navigation.navigateTo(pageInput, navigationOptions).then(success,error);

function success()

{

console.log("successfully run")

}

function error(){

console.log("Error has occurred...")

}

}

}

//Html Code

Hello,

I believe VSCode's autocomplete tricked you. Try to use line

Xrm.Navigation.navigateTo(pageInput, navigationOptions).then(success,error);

instead of line

XMLHttpRequest.Navigation.navigateTo(pageInput, navigationOptions).then(success,error);

in your code.

Thanks a lot!

This worked, now the Canvas App is being opened.

My next challenge is passing the model-driven app data, to the Canvas App. Is there any way that it could be done?

I would like to display the field values passed, within a Canvas App form and give the user an option to update those values.

Also, is there any special syntax to be used for Lookup or Choice columns?

Will I have to use Filter(), Lookup() or any of those types of functions?

My app is opening as an HTML page but now I would like to pass the form field values from the model driven app to the canvas app.

Would be nice if you could show how that can be done.

Thanks!

Hi,

You can only pass record Id from model driven app to canvas app.

You will then need to use record Id to fetch other details using filter/lookup method
