Posted on by Hittori

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.
