Unable to get the Subgrid name using javascript in CRM 2011

  If you're using rollup 12+ then the subgrids are loaded asynchronously - which means OnLoad JavaScript is fired before the subgrids have finished loading.

  My suggestion would be to check if 'gridControl != null' then refresh the grid, otherwise timeout for N milliseconds and then call the same function again. This will ensure it keeps trying until the grid finishes loading.

  If you're worried about infinite loop (for example, if the subgrid just doesn't exist) then you could potentially add a loop counter as a global variable so it doesn't iterate more than a certain number of times.

  Hope that helps

  Paul

  Can you post the updated code that you are now using? It should look something like this:

  function refreshSubgrid(subgridName) {
      var gridControl = Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get(subgridName);
      if (gridControl != null) {
          gridControl.refresh();
      }
      else {
          setTimeout(function () {
              refreshSubgrid(subgridName);
          }, 500);
      }
  }

  Hi Paul,

  My updated code

  function attachmentGridRefresh() {
      var grid = Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get('SuppDocsAttachments');

      if (grid) {
          if (grid._control._element.readyState == "complete") {

              grid.attachEvent('onrefresh', gridRefresh());
          }
          else {
              setTimeout('attachmentGridRefresh()', 1000);
          }
      }
      else {
          setTimeout('attachmentGridRefresh()', 1000);
      }
  }

  function gridRefresh() {
     
      Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get('SuppDocsAttachments').refresh();
  }

  Thanks & Regards,

  Hello Priyank,

  Did you try to debug your code also which browser you are using ?? because attachEvent will only work in IE, if you are using other browser you need to consider addEventKistener.

  Priyank,

  Try using this code. I've just tested it and it is working correctly without errors:

  function refreshSubgrid(subgridName) {
      var gridControl = document.getElementById(subgridName);
      if (gridControl != null) {
          Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get(subgridName).refresh();
      }
      else {
          setTimeout(function () {
              refreshSubgrid(subgridName);
          }, 500);
      }
  }

  
  

  Paul

  Hi All,

  I got the reason why i was getting above issues.

  After so many research i found that, to refresh a subgrid required some event to occur like onchange of any filed on CRM form. And it is working now.

  Thanks you friends to give me all the above solutions.

  My actual requirement is,
  I want to refresh the subgrid everytime when i add a new attachment to my custom entity.

  How can i achive this, Any solution?

  Thanks & Regards
