Hi,

We can perform JScript validation on Activation or Deactivation of  a record in CRM 2011.

We can achieve this by reading event save mode from CRM context (i.e.,CRM returns unique Codes or Numbers for different actions; Example 5 for Deactivation button click & 6 for Activation click).

Note :-  CRM 2011 JScript allows us to pass “Execution Context” as first parameter to Jscript function.

Below are the steps

1) Create a new Jscript file and place below JScript function

// Use the following function on Form Save Event,

// CRM will pass the execution context in function paramter prmContext

function FrmOnSave(prmContext) {

var wod_SaveMode;

if (prmContext != null && prmContext.getEventArgs() != null) {

// “getSaveMode()” returns event mode value (i.e., 5 on Deactivation button click etc…)

wod_SaveMode = prmContext.getEventArgs().getSaveMode();

// 5 will pass on Deactivate button click

if (wod_SaveMode == 5) {

// Write your “Deactivate” validation code here

alert(“Deactivation event fired”);

}

// 6 will pass on Activate button click

elseif (wod_SaveMode == 6) {

// Write your “Activate” validation code here

alert(“Activation event fired”);

}

// Use the code line below only if validation is failed then abort function save event

prmContext.getEventArgs().preventDefault();

}

}

2. Add the JScript file as a webresource to the default solution

3. Register the function on “onsave” event (As below)

4. Save & Publish

5. Open the record and click on “Activate/Deactivate” button (Refer below screen)
