Disable options in preview

English Forum
1

Hello,

In a preview there are options for “Export”, “Fax”, “E-mail” and “Quick print” in the ribbon. Is it possible to disable or hide one or more of these buttons in the preview mode?
I am using LL18 and Xbase++.
I tried setting LL_OPTION_NOMAILVARS, and LL_OPTIONSTR_EXPORTS_ALLOWED to false, but the button are still there and active.

Regards,
Jack Duijf.

Hello,

I would like to disable options for “Export”, “Fax”, “E-mail” and “Quick print” in the ribbon in the preview in the production environment, so not the designer.

Hi Jack,

thank you for your post.

Please use LlViewerProhibitAction() to disable preview actions:

LL.Core.LlViewerProhibitAction(LlViewerAction.SaveAs)
LL.Core.LlViewerProhibitAction(LlViewerAction.Fax)
LL.Core.LlViewerProhibitAction(LlViewerAction.SendTo)
LL.Core.LlViewerProhibitAction(LlViewerAction.PrintPage)
LL.Core.LlViewerProhibitAction(LlViewerAction.PrintPagerange)

If you don’t use .NET, then please have a look at “menuid.txt” to get the menu IDs you need.
