Calling Custom Workflows In Javascript or ISV

If we want to calll Custom workflow with in CRM 4.0 javascript or ISV we call CRM 4.0 inbuilt function "launchOnDemandWorkflow" in this methods we can pass object ID and Workflow ID launchOnDemandWorkflow('',ObjectTypeCode,Workflow ID)

We simply get ObjectTypeCode from crmForm.Objectid and workflow is unigue ID we can get from Workflow section. the problems is that when we call this launchOnDemandWorkflow it will frompt workflow dialog box for our confirmation after that we can't put notification whether that workflow Successed or not. in this can we can remove this pfompt box and we can put custom confirmation message and success message.

{
    var xml = "" + 
    "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>" +

    xmlHttpRequest.Open("POST", "/MSCrmServices/2007/CrmService.asmx", false);
    xmlHttpRequest.setRequestHeader("SOAPAction","http://schemas.microsoft.com/crm/2007/WebServices/Execute");
    xmlHttpRequest.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=utf-8");
    xmlHttpRequest.setRequestHeader("Content-Length", xml.length);
    xmlHttpRequest.send(xml);
    var resultXml = xmlHttpRequest.responseXML;
    return(resultXml.xml);

}

Filtered Lookup in CRM 4.0

How to create Filtered lookup in CRM 4.0

First of all you need to remote login to that server where CRm hosted after that go IIS root "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\_controls\lookup" then open the "lookupsingle.aspx" file and pase the below code in this aspx file .

<script runat="server">

protected override void OnLoad( EventArgs e )
{
      base.OnLoad(e);
      crmGrid.PreRender += new EventHandler( crmgrid_PreRender );
}

void crmgrid_PreRender( object sender , EventArgs e )
{
if (crmGrid.Parameters["search"] != null && crmGrid.Parameters["search"].StartsWith ("<fetch>"))
    {
        crmGrid.Parameters.Add("fetchxml", crmGrid.Parameters["search"]);      
        crmGrid.Parameters.Remove("searchvalue");       
        this._showNewButton = false;
    }
}

</script>

For the main look up onchange event write below code

crmForm.all.ias_cityid.lookupbrowse = 1;
crmForm.all.ias_cityid.AddParam("search", "<fetch mapping="logical"><entity name="ias_cityEntity"><all-attributes><filter type="and"><condition value="'" operator="eq" attribute="ias_countryid"><condition operator="in" attribute="statecode"><value>0</value></condition></condition></filter></ALL-ATTRIBUTES>");</entity></fetch>

//remove the child lookup value
crmForm.all.ias_cityid.DataValue=null;  // child lookup

 // ias_cityEntity  -- child lookup entity
 // ias_country_id     -- main lookup id
 // ias_countryid      -- main lookup attribute in sub entity
 // ias_cityid         -- sub lookup entity
