Display or Hide a quick View Form

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Hittori 72

To whom it may concern or can help me,

we are using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Version 1612(9.0.34.5) on premises. 

I am trying to display or hide a quick View Form based on a picklist. So I have a method that given the value will call JS method js_HidequickView or js_ShowquickView.

these method gather the object of the quickForm, and then try to setVisible to false or true respectively. The method setVisible is undefined?!?!?!?! 

As you can see below, I am able to retrieve the object, I am able to getVisible in the Console, but I cannot setVisible. The console recognize there is the set Visible method and suggest me to pass the visible value. 

What am I doing wrong?

Anyone who can help? 

   

in the above blog from 2018, it was already suggested that this method doesnt work and to set the quick form into a section and hide the section.

    Hello Hittori,

    Please check below updated code.

    quickViewControl = formContext.ui.quickForms.get(arg); // arg = form name.

    quickViewControl.setVisible(bool);   //Specify true or false to display or hide the control.

    Also refer below article from MS.

    docs.microsoft.com/.../setvisible

    Another option is that you can add this quick view form in a Separate "Section". Then Perform Hide/Show Operation on the Section.

    Thank you,

    Amit, thanks for your answer.  if you can check on the code that I display in the images you can see that the code you provide me is exactly the same one I am using:

    function js_HidequickView(formContext, quickFormId) {

       var oquickForm = formContext.ui.quickForms.get(quickFormId);

       if (oquickForm != null) {

               oquickForm.setVisible(false);

       }

    }

    function js_ShowquickView(formContext, quickFormId) {

       var oquickForm = formContext.ui.quickForms.get(quickFormId);

       if (oquickForm != null) {

               oquickForm.setVisible(true);

       }

    }

    I can even do this:

    function js_ShowHidequickView(formContext, quickFormId, ShowHide) {

       var oquickForm = formContext.ui.quickForms.get(quickFormId);

       if (oquickForm != null) {

               oquickForm.setVisible(ShowHide);

       }

    }

    I used the documentation you mention, but it doesn't work.
