Control the Form Assistant Pane in CRM 3.0

One of the tasks that our guys had to do was to check how to get the form assistance expanded when a crm Form is loading. We searched the net and found some links. but some of them didn't work.

However Dmitri's blog contained a different was and when we incorporated it we got what we were looking for.

Simple we had to put the following java script to onload event of the form.

// to make sure it loads lookup data, if you want it expanded
if (document.all.RelatedInformationPane != null)
document.all.RelatedInformationPane.LoadContextData();

if (document.all.RelatedInformationPane != null)
document.all.RelatedInformationPane.ToggleInformationPane();

Thanks Dmitri. Following is his link.
