Accessing parent CRM page controls from custom HTML resource

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 109

Hi all,

I have a custom html page that pops up on a click of a command bad button. This html page creates some records in CRM via javascript code and I want to refresh a sub-grid on the CRM form from which the html page was initiated. I tried using parent.Xrm.Page.getControl("my_subgrid").refresh() but it's not working as it's not fetching the sub-grid object. I'm getting an error:

Cannot read property 'refresh' of null

Has anyone ever succeeded doing something like this before?

Thanks,

-Tony.

    Hi Pravin, nice one! So replacing Parent object with window.top.opener object did the trick. Thank you!

    Hi ,

    Try once using below syntax:

    window.top.opener.Xrm.Page.getControl("my_subgrid").refresh()

    Hello,

    If you are on Dynamics 20111 use window.parent.xrm.page....

    on Dynamics CRM Version > 4 you should add

    <head>

    <title>HTML Web Resource</title>

    <script src="ClientGlobalContext.js.aspx" type="text/javascript" ></script>

    </head>

    and after that you can access SDK objects and fucntions,

    I hope this helps :)
