Help with transitioning away from Xrm.Page

Posted on by wperkinson3

Good afternoon,

I am testing our Dynamics environment under version 9.0 and I am finding several custom Javascripts are not working due to the use of Xrm.Page

Can someone guide me on how to proceed in converting such functions as the following?

Thank you,

Will

============================

function addTask() {
Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm('task', null, {
  pId: Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId().replace(/{|}/g, ''),
  pType: Mscrm.EntityPropUtil.EntityTypeName2CodeMap[Xrm.Page.data.entity.getEntityName()],
  pName: Xrm.Page.getAttribute('name').getValue()
});
}

You have to pass the Execution context from Event handler properties window. Then formContext can be extracted from it.

function addTask(executionContext) { var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); // get formContext Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm('task', null, { pId: formContext.data.entity.getId().replace(/{|}/g, ''), pType: Mscrm.EntityPropUtil.EntityTypeName2CodeMap[formContext.data.entity.getEntityName()], pName: formContext.getAttribute('name').getValue() }); }

Hi wperkinson3,

The Dynamics 365 V9 JavaScript Validator plugin in the XrmToolBox can scan your environment for JavaScript web resources to see if they are compatible with the latest version of Dynamics 365. After the scan is complete, the plugin will give you change recommendations for your JavaScript that come in useful when converting your functions.

Thank you.

The above call is being made from a button added by "Ribbon Workbench." How does one pass the context from Ribbon Workbench?

You have pass the PrimaryControl as parameter in ribbon command, then consume in function as usual.

var formContext = primaryControl.getFormContext();
