Recently, I was given a requirement to develop a Xrm.Navigation.openConfirmDialog window. The interesting part of the requirement was that it was not meant to be used as the traditional dialog.
The traditional version generally has a “Ok” button and “Cancel” button. OnClick of the Ok button, we can configure some action. OnClick of the Cancel button or the X button, generally the requirement will be to close the dialog.
My requirement was slightly different. I was asked to create a window that gives the user 2 different options. Both options have different business logic. The logic for on click of the Purchase Orders button must not be triggered on click of the X button.
Initially, my logic was like this:
let confirmOptions = {height: 200, width: 450};
Xrm.Navigation.openConfirmDialog(confirmStrings, confirmOptions).then(
function (success)
{
if(success.confirmed)
{
// logic for on click of Invoice(s) button
}
else
{
// logic for on click of Purchase Orders button
}
});
The problem with the above logic is that the logic for on click of the Purchase Orders button will be triggered even if you click on the x button. The issue is that Dynamics 365 treats the Cancel(Purchase Orders) and X button as the same.
I started debugging the issue and found out that it was different when you click on the Cancel (Purchase Order) button and X button. It was the value of the confirmed attribute in success.
On Click of Purchase Orders,
success.confirmed = false.
on Click of the X button,
Success.confirmed was undefined.
Hence, I tweaked my code a little bit and met my requirement.
let confirmStrings = { confirmButtonLabel: “Invoice(s), cancelButtonLabel: “Purchase Orders”, text: “Select an option to generate invoice from.”, title: ”Generate from”};
let confirmOptions = {height: 200, width: 450};
Xrm.Navigation.openConfirmDialog(confirmStrings, confirmOptions).then(
function (success)
{
if(success.confirmed)
{
// logic for on click of Invoice(s) button
}
else if(success.confirmed != ‘undefined’)
{
// logic for on click of Purchase Orders button
}
Else
{
//Logic for on click of the x button
}
});
You can use the above logic to deal with situations where you need to have different logic for on click of the Cancel button and X button in Xrm.Navigation.openConfirmDialog
