IME Mode in MS CRM

While creating fields in MS CRM we come across certain type called IME Mode in form as shown below. So What is IME Mode?

An IME is a program that enables users to enter complex characters and symbols, such as Japanese Kanji characters, using a standard keyboard.

Members

Name	Value	Description
Active	2	Specifies that the IME mode is active.
Auto	0	Specifies that the IME mode is chosen automatically.
Disabled	3	Specifies that the IME mode is disabled.
Inactive	1	Specifies that the IME mode is inactive.

Note: Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 Update Rollup 2

When you set IME mode on an attribute on an entity to ACTIVE, the IME mode is not honored

This occurs with Single Line of Text, Multiple Lines of Text, and other attributes that are bound to input elements or text area elements

Customize Search Bar

Retrieving updated Value from a Field

Using Xrm.Page.getAttribute("your field name").getValue() we can retrieve the CRM field value. But there are some scenarios, this line of code will give wrong or old value.

Ex. Write something on Subject field and click immediately on button (Webresource button), on onclick of it, try to retrieve the value of this field. It will not give you the update value. After a couple of hours effort found a way to get the updated value in this scenario.

On button click event change the focus to button click event then save the form. Then try to retrieve the field. It will give you the updated values.

function ButtonClick()
{
Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get("new_button").setFocus();
window.Xrm.Page.data.entity.save();
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("subject").getValue()
}
