Introduction:<\/strong><\/p>\n

With CRM 2015 SP1, the Client API was extended to allow attaching events to sub-grid to manage the sub-grid data\/operations.<\/p>\n

The OnLoad event however executes on all of the following operations<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Load of parent form.<\/li>\n
  2. Save of parent form.<\/li>\n
  3. Add a new record in sub-grid<\/li>\n
  4. Remove a record from sub-grid<\/li>\n
  5. Navigating to prev\/next page in sub-grid.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    When we register a method on the OnLoad event, it does not indicate in any way which of the above actually fired the onload event.<\/p>\n

    Workaround to Identifying the operation <\/strong><\/p>\n

    We cannot register an event when the record is added\/removed from the sub-grid. The only event available is onload, so one way to identify if it was one of the add\/remove operations that caused the grid to call the onload event, we can keep a check on the count of records in the grid.<\/p>\n

    We can register the onload event using the following code<\/p>\n

    \/\/This function is executed onload event of form<\/p>\n

    function onLoad() {\r\n\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 var funtionName = \"onLoad\";\r\n\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 try {\r\n\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \/\/setting timeout beacuse subgid take some time to load after the form is loaded\r\n\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 setTimeout(function () {\r\n\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \/\/validating to check if the sub grid is present on the form\r\n\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 if (Xrm.Page != null && Xrm.Page != undefined && Xrm.Page.getControl(\"contact_subgrid\") != null && Xrm.Page.getControl(\"contact_subgrid\") != undefined) {\r\n\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \/\/stores the row count of subgrid on load event of CRM Form\r\n\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0_rowCount = Xrm.Page.getControl(\"contact_subgrid\").getGrid().getTotalRecordCount();\r\n\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \/\/registering refreshform function onload event of subgrid\r\n\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Xrm.Page.getControl(\"contact_subgrid\").addOnLoad(onGridLoad);\r\n\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 }\r\n\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 }, 5000);\r\n\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 } catch (e) {\r\n\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(functionName + \"Error: \" + (e.message || e.description));\r\n\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 }\r\n\r\n}<\/pre>\n
