Hi Folks,

We have few Custom HTML Webresources which were standalone and not called from any form or a ribbon. ClientGlobalContext.js.aspx is used to get context information previously.

But understood that this would be deprecated on Dec 1, 2020. Is there any alternative for this in UCI? Also please let us know if there was any other way to replace addonkeypress event without using any custom control.

Thank you.

Pavan,

What information do you use from the context? Pretty much everything can be received either from the Url or queries using WebApi.

Unfortunately there is no direct replacement for addOnKeyPress. You will have to use Custom PCF control. I created it already so you can tru it - github.com/.../Text-Autocomplete-Control

Hi Pavan,

On top of Andrew's advise, please refer to this page on ClientGlobalContext.js.aspx deprecation:

Andrii,

How would you have access to the WebAPI without ClientGlobalContext.js.aspx? Just to get the URL to CRM, you need to call Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext().

How do we get around this?

Thanks,
