How to disable a timeline control on Form Load event

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 670
 
We had an issue during testing, when a custom activity record  was accidently added to an inactive parent record.  On the FormLoad event, I thought I would disable the Timeline control  if the parent record statecode = 1.  Well that was the theory! According to the docs:
 
 
 
I have updated @types/xrm but I don't think this the issue, nor do I think the setDisabled() method is available in the other controls.  So what is missing?
 
Unfortunately, my attempt to circumvent the type restrictions appears to work but has no impact on the Timeline. 
 
 
    
        let myStandardControl = formContext.getControl<Xrm.Controls.StandardControl >("Opendays");
    
        if (myStandardControl != null)
        {
            alert("found control");
            // disable the control
            myStandardControl.setDisabled(true);

            alert("disabled control " + myStandardControl.getDisabled());
        }

    It looks like the inaccurate documentation may be the issue for Timelines ( see previous post).
     
    This snippet works like a charm tho none too popular!
    
          if (!allowExpensesOptionSetCOntrol.getDisabled() && allowExpensesOptionSetField?.getText() == "No")
          {
            console.log("Locking expense claims because there isn't the budget!");
            allowExpensesOptionSetCOntrol.setDisabled(true);
          }
