Tretia časť zo série Microsoft Dynamics CRM – Javascript API zaoberajúca sa prácou s tabmi na formuláry – of course in english as all posts in this category.

The CRM javascript API for manipulation with the form’s tab is represented by namespace called Xrm.Page.ui.tabs. Tabs is collection which contains all tab objects on the form. Here is most usefull methods for manipulation with tabs (full specification you can find on msdn network) :

1. Tab – Particular tab object you can obtain by following code:

var tabObj = Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get('tabName');

2. Display state - Use the getDisplayState and setDisplayState methods to determine whether the tab is collapsed or to collapse and expand the tab.

tabObj.getDisplayState()

tabObj.setDisplayState(state)

Valid state argument values are : 'collapsed' and 'expanded'.

3. Label - Use the getLabel and setLabel methods to determine the label for the tab or to hide and show the tab label.

tabObj.getLabel()

tabObj.setLabel(string)

4. Focus - Sets the focus on the tab.

tabObj.setFocus()

5. Visible - Use the getVisible and setVisible methods to determine the tab is visible or to hide and show the tab.

tabObj.getVisible()

tabObj.setVisible(boolean);

6. Sections - The sections collection provides access to sections within the tab. See Collections (client-side reference) for information about methods to access the sections in the collection. About manipulation with sections we will write next post, but here is simple code for obtaining specific section in specific tab:

tabObj.sections.get('sectionName')
