Cancel Save & Close event

Hi,

how can I cancel a Save & Close event, when someone clicks the Save & Close button on an entity form?

I want to deny the closing action of the form, if a custom validation is invalid.

Thanks to all.

Regards

Marco

RE: Cancel Save & Close event

Hi,

You can write JavaScript Code on save of entity form. Perform custom validation in this code. Add condition in code that if custom validation is invalid then do not save entity form.

Please find the following useful links to prevent saving entity form in MS Dynamics CRM-

Hi ClassMP,

If you want to stop save you will need to use the preventDefault method.

example

function preventAutoSave(econtext) {
    var eventArgs = econtext.getEventArgs();
    if (eventArgs.getSaveMode() == 70 || eventArgs.getSaveMode() == 2) {
        eventArgs.preventDefault();
    }
}

Execution Context is passed as the first parameter.

For more information on client side scripting, follow this article on MSDN

Hope that helps

Thanks

Hi,

after doing some tests it isn't working in CRM 2013 SP1 too.

I tried it with following code:

function myMethod(e) {

var isValid = VerifyOnSave();

if (!isValid) {

//Show error message

// alert(ErrorMessage);

//Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(ErrorMessage);

//Cancel current event

if (e != null) {

//e.getEventArgs().preventDefault();

var eventArgs = e.getEventArgs();

if (eventArgs != null) {

eventArgs.preventDefault();

}

e.returnValue = false;

/*window.onbeforeunload = function (){

return ErrorMessage;

}

*/

}

Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(ErrorMessage);

}

}

I have CRM 2013 SP1 too. When I try the preventDefault, then save is prevented but not the close. So, a save is triggered because I exit the form and a window appear. This is really bad.

you need to save the record but doesn't want to close the form then just write a script in save method to

function(e)

if(e.eventargs !="save")

Xrm.Page.data.save().then({

e.stoppropogration();

});

Hello Marco;

Why not just hide the Save and Close button so they can't use it? They would have to save using the regular button.
