Create a dialog pop-up box

I have 2 forms in my entity. Form A and form B.

I want that when I click the New button for my entity that a prompt will appear asking the user do they want to create a New Form A or Form B.

If the user selects From A then a Form A will open up for them to create and vice versa.

Anyone know how I can do this?

Thanks.

Hi,

you can try to hide OOB button , from application toolbar and entity toolbar and try create a custom ribbon button and call a js webresource to ask user and based on response open entity form. (I have not done this personally, it's just an idea)

Hi JM,

you need to create a custom ribbon button....try to Launch a html page with two buttons on it to say Form A or Form B. onclick of buttons should redirect to open the respective forms through javascript window.open()...use global context to get the server url. Below is the example to open a contact through javascript.

function FormA() { // example for contact entity
    var extraqs = "firstname=form1contact";
    extraqs += "&formId=***put form guid";   
    //Set features for how the window will appear
    var features = "location=no,menubar=no,status=no,toolbar=no,resizable=1";
    // Open the window
    window.open(Xrm.Page.context.getServerUrl() + "/main.aspx?etn=contact&pagetype=entityrecord&extraqs=" +
     encodeURIComponent(extraqs), "_blank", features, false, width=400,height=200);
}

With standard javascript and html you should be able to do the job!

Hope this helps you!

Thanks

I have setup a ribbon button and it opens a html page.

I would like to put 2 separate URL links on the html page. I want each URL to point to each of the forms in the Entity i.e. one points to Form A and the other points to From B.

Does anyone know how to get the URL for a Form within the entity?

Thanks.
