Remove Searchlist Context Menu

Original Post: Mike Vaughan (Thompsons) 05/06/2014 12:42:55

"Hi,
we have a requirement to programmatically disable a button on a searchlist on the SearchCompleted event - this ensures the code runs when the Searchlist is a tab. We use the following code to disable the button
SearchControl.ToolBar.Buttons[“cmdAdd”].Enabled = false;
and I'm using the following code to remove the Actions panel altogether (although I would prefer to chose the buttons I want to disable/hide) SearchControl.HidePanelButtons();

The final area is the Context Menu. It appears that even though the button is disabled the context menu is still available. I've tried a few combinations but it appears that the SearchControl.ContextMenu object is NULL so can't be used.


Is there a way to remove/disable the menu items from the Searchlist context menu? thanks"

"Hi,
Have you tried looked at the ContexMenu property of the Parent Objects because I've found that sometimes things seem to be nested a lot in Matter Centre. One Menu was about 3 or 4 Parents deep.

"I tried 5 levels of Parent and Context menu is null every time. I've tried another way to get to the button property and this seems to do the job SearchControl.GetOMSToolBarButton(“cmdService”).ContextMenuItem.Enabled = false;
This is also the way to get to the panel buttons SearchControl.GetOMSToolBarButton(“cmdService”).PanelButton.Enabled = false; cheers"
