Xrm.Utility (client-side reference)

  • 發行項

 

Applies To: Dynamics CRM 2013

The Xrm.Utility object provides a container for useful functions not directly related to the current page.

These functions are available in every application page that supports scripting. You can use them in form scripts or in ribbon commands. For HTML web resources, they are available when you include the ClientGlobalContext.js.aspx page. For more information, see GetGlobalContext function and ClientGlobalContext.js.aspx (client-side reference).

Functions

  • Dialogs
    Use alertDialog and confirmDialog display messages to users and set code to execute based on their response. These functions must be used with Microsoft Dynamics CRM for tablets in place of the window.alert and window.confirm methods.

  • isActivityType
    Determine if an entity is an activity entity.

  • openEntityForm
    Opens an entity form.

  • openWebResource
    Opens an HTML web resource.

Dialogs

There are two types of dialogs: alertDialog and confirmDialog. These are included for use with scripts that will work with Microsoft Dynamics CRM for tablets. CRM for tablets will not allow the use of JavaScript functions that block the flow of code such as window.alert and window.confirm. Use these methods in place of those methods in case you need to display a message to the user. They key difference is that these methods will not block code until a user closes them. They contain a callback function parameter to indicate what code should be executed depending on the user’s response.

Note

In Microsoft Dynamics CRM for tablets any use of the window.alert method will be overridden to use Xrm.Utility.alertDialog without a callback. This will display the message but will not block the execution of code as window.alert does. This mapping of window.alert to Xrm.Utility.alertDialog in CRM for tablets is deprecated and will be removed in the next major release. You should migrate any code you have today to use Xrm.Utility.alertDialog rather than window.alert.
