Hi All,

I need to disable the command definition buttons at the top of an instance list. I used this code:


which works, but when user clicks on an instance list column, the button becomes enabled.



How do I make sure that this button stays disabled no matter what action the user performs?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

This seems incorrect bahaviour to me.

So what you say is:
You disable the button with:
#avframeworkmanager.avChangeCommandState Objectname(#UOOBNM) Commandname('COMMAND_NEW') Enabled(false)

Which works.....

But when a user clicks on a column of the instance list, the new button becaomes Enabled(true)

I agree, and maybe I'm missing something, but that's what's occurring.

Could you clarify what you mean by the user clicking on an instance list column?

1. Do you mean the column heading?


2. Or do you mean on an item in the column which also causes the instance list ‘row’ (item) to become selected?

If it is the second option, then the act of selecting the instance list item would automatically enable all object and instance level commands for the business object.

e.g. If your New command is an object level command then this would cause it to become (re)enabled.

In that is what is happening you can probably solve it by executing the avChangeCommandState method again in the command handler that is executed when the user clicks on the item.

Good point Mark

Thanks all for the input. I ended up modifying the avcheckauth routine in the IIP to just not have the commands shown if there was no security clearance for user.
