Customize Existing Button MS Dynamics CRM

Question

I am pretty new at MS Dynamics CRM and trying to learn all development process by myself. I customized a solution into MS Dynamics CRM by using the Solutions segments and published it. But there wasn't any development process. I want to change the existing button's codes. For example I want write a Select statement into 'New' button. Also I want to create a custom button and write some sample codes into it. How can I do that? I already download and install Ribbon Workbench but it doesn't give me these options (writing code samples etc.).

Should we do this into Visual Studio 2008? If we do how can I add the solution's code into there?

Answer 1

You are going to be using JScript in ribbon buttons. There are a lot of samples on the web for doing this. You should use a ribbon editor to speed things up.

The only tricky part is referencing your WebResource from the ribbon. You'll want to use the $webresource: notation as this example shows. You may want to check out the Visual Ribbon Editor.
