dynamics crm get name of subgrid on associated view

When I open the contact form and then select activities from the navigation bar, the associated activities view appears. Is there a way to get the name of the subgrid for this view? I

var subgrid = Xrm.Page.getControl(<sub-grid name>);
Solution

  • Note: This is unsupported customization.

    Getting Associated view grid is different from subgrid in entity forms. Subgrid in CRM form is accessible using Xrm.Page.getControl(subgrid_name) like any other control.

    But to access Associated view grid, you have to do DOM manipulation starting from IFRAME, then Grid like below.

    To get the IFrame control:

    var frame = document.frames[“areaActivitiesFrame”].frameElement;

    To refresh the associated grid view:

    frame.contentWindow.document.getElementById(“crmGrid_Account_ActivityPointers”).control.refresh();

    Once you get the control, try to override the click event like explained in SO thread
