Lock command / toolbar / pane

[cew]

Hi there,

how do I lock commands / toolbar / panes?

E.g. I don't allow the users of my application to annotate any PDFs.
Therefore I have to lock the "Comment and markup Toolbar".
Is this possible??

Best regards

Hi,

how do I lock commands / toolbar / panes?

You may set "View.Locked" property to true (using SetProperty function), or use LockedView property of Viewer Ax component.

I don't allow the users of my application to annotate any PDFs.

For this you may use "General.DenyAllModifyOperations" property.

This seems to restrict the user to a predefined set of commands and
your 2nd approach means setting the document to readonly, right?

Is it possible to just deny the use of some single commands like "open" and allow the user toolbar customization anyway?

Hi,

Please see our SDK example named "Commands"...

Thanks for you help!

Now I know how to disable commands.
Is it possible to hide or dynamic add/remove commands from toolbars?

Hi, cew.

Now you may disable command by (example):

Code: Select all

ctrl.SetProperty("Commands["Open"].State", "Offline", 0); // to disable "Open..." command in all toolbars and menu

You will be able to add/remove/hide commands in the next version V3.

Are the commands "grouped", so I can disable all comment/annotation-commands with one call or do i have to find out which command allows modifying a document on my own?

You may make the document read-only for end-user:

Code: Select all

ctrl.SetDocumentProperty(docId, "ReadOnly", "true", 0);

All commands are ungrouped. Look to our SDK help, [Reference/Named Items/Objects/Commands/Commands List] section (first column in table):
