How to check if Appointment is New RRS feed

    I want to run some code on the onload event of an appointment, but I only want it to do it on NEW appointments.  If the user is opening an appointment that is already scheduled then I don't want to run the code. 

    Is there a value I can check?  For example, does a new appointment (one not saved yet) not have and activityid, or statecode?  Is there something already built in to CRM like if crmForm.all.isnew = true?

    Just to make sure I was looking at the right data and starting small, I tried the below which was followed by an alert only (no other code)

    if(crmForm.all.activityid.DataValue == null)

    if(typeof(crmForm.all.activityid) == undefined)

    and various combinations of the above and with using statecode.  All either throws an error and does nothing (no alert).

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,

    You need something like:

    if (crmForm.FormType == 1)
{
// TODO:
}

    Sorry, it was for CRM 2011, but it for CRM4:

    if(crmForm.FormType == 1)
{
// new
}
else
{
// not new
}

    Hi,

    Use it:

     var formType = Xrm.Page.ui.getFormType();
 if (formType == FORM_TYPE_CREATE) {
 alert("New");
 }
 else {
 alert("Not new");
 }

    Thanks for the reply - I get an error that it doesn't know what Xrm is.  Maybe I should have stated I'm using CRM 4?  I changed the code to crmForm.all.getFormType() and it tells me it's an unsupported method.

    Any other thoughts?

    You can define a set of constants like:

    var FormTypes =  
 {  
  Create : 1,  
  Update : 2,  
  ReadOnly : 3,  
  Disabled : 4,  
  QuickCreate : 5,  
  BulkEdit : 6  
 }  

if (crmForm.FormType == FormTypes.Create)
{
// TODO
}
