Disabling Close button on Bookmark and Thumbnail panes

Post by JGForwick »

Hi there,

Is it possible to programmatically disable the close button in the bookmark and thumbnail panes (ie the [x] in the top right corner of the pane)? We want to prevent our users from being able to close the thumbnail/book mark panes entirely and would rather have them collapse the panes using the pane handle.

Thanks in advance!

Hi JGForwick.

There exists one way only for this:

ctrl.SetProperty("View.Locked", "true");

- but it locks all panes and all toolbars/menu customization also.

The new version 3 release of the SDK will offer far more UI-control...
