Test if a field is enabled

[rinou92]

Hi,

I'm currently playing with the API and it's very nice, but I haven't found how to test if a field is enabled.
May be I missed something, but if not, it would be nice to have this possibility :-)

This is something we don't have a specific API for currently but can access the enabled attribute on the element. You can use the xrmBrowser.Document.getElementById("firstname").GetAttribute("disabled"); try get the details.

Sorry but could you provide some more help with this. When I tried grabbing a field with

var FName = xrmBrowser.Document.getElementById("firstname")

I can see the full element in the watcher. However if I try

var FNameDisplay = xrmBrowser.Document.getElementById("firstname").GetAttribute("disabled");
or
var FNameDisplay = xrmBrowser.Document.getElementById("firstname").GetAttribute("Displayed");
it comes up as null in the watcher. What am I doing wrong?

Ok, it looks like there will be a span that has a lock image. The disabled setting is never set. Try something like this.
if (xrmBrowser.Document.getElementById("firstname_lock").GetAttribute("style") == "display: block;")
{
//do something
}

You can also execute client script that will get the control disabled status.

xrmBrowser.Driver.ExecuteScript("Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get('firstname').getDisabled();").ToString();

That should return True or False.

So I was still getting an error with
xrmBrowser.Driver.ExecuteScript("Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get('firstname').getDisabled();").ToString();
I was getting a NullReferenceException

We ended up realising it was already present in the IWebElement properties.....
var FNameDisplay = xrmBrowser.Document.getElementById("firstname").Displayed

this actually works
xrmBrowser.Driver.ExecuteScript($"return Xrm.Page.getControl('firstname').getDisabled();");

so the previous
xrmBrowser.Driver.ExecuteScript("Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get('firstname').getDisabled();").ToString();
was missing the "return"
