Disable "Open" Dropdownbutton

[Charly]

Folks,

When i activate the "File"-Bar the [Open] Dropdownbutton is always enabled. Because i don´t want that the user can open other files than the one i´ve loaded, how do i disable this button ?

regards

The ability of enabling/disabling/removing commands from menu/command bars now in developming and will be avalilable soon into one of the next build.

Is it possible now with the last release ? and How ?

Thanks

No, for now it is imposible to disable this button. What you can do - it is to hide the toolbar where this button located.

The ability of enabling/disabling separate commands will be added into the one of the next builds.

With the latest release, it looks like it's still not possible to hide a button when the toolbar, in which the button is, is visible. Am I correct? If not, could you let me know how to do it?

Hi, jykim
Yo may disable this command by code(pseudocode):

Code: Select all

SetProperty("Commands["Open"].State", "Offline", 0);

For remove this button from toolbar and menu you can:
1. Customize UI of our ActiveX control by mouse manually, display 'Customize' dialog before(right-click on any toolbar).
2. Use SaveSettings function from SDK or "Edit->Export All Settings.." from menu.
3. Use LoadSettings at each start of your application for load custom settings, saved in 2.
For details about SaveSettings/LoadSettings see SDK Help and corresponding examples.

Thanks Vasyl for your reply.
In the 'Customize' dialog, I don't see a way to remove a button from a toolbar.
Instead, I could create a 'custom' toolbar, and add buttons/commands that I need.
Is that what you meant to 'remove' a button from a toolbar?

For remove "Open" button (and any other item):
1. Display "Customize" dialog
2. Click on the "Open" item in the toolbar and drag it by mouse out and drop when cursor will be displayed with "X" icon (delete tip).
