If I open a main form as a dialog using the navigateTo function, how can I tell in the on-load event I have registered that this is the case? Is there a way from the context to tell that the form is being displayed as a dialog rather than normally?
Thanks
Alan
Currently I have resorted to adding a custom parameter to the form called parameter_isDialog which I set to true when opening using navigateTo. I would rather use a native way of determining this if one exists?
Hello @DCSAlan
You can only do by passing parameter in Navigateto Options
var pageInput ={ pageType ="entityrecord", entityName:"ENTITYNAME", data:{ isDialog:true } }
Once you done this in the ONLOAD of the Entity, you can use
function onload(ExecutionContext){ var formContext = ExecutionContext.getFormContext(); var xrmObjectParameter = formContext.getQueryStringParameters(); if(xrmObjectParameter["isDialog"]!=null && xrmObjectParameter["isDialog"]=true){ //Process your operation } }

Thanks for confirming @rampprakash. This is the method I mentioned above so it is good to know it is my only option.
Yes @DCSAlan
