InfoPath Dev

Hi Friends,

I am very happy that I am getting replies for my posts and I am overcoming my problems in InfoPath because of this Forum. Thanks for all your co-operation.
Now my new problem is disabling the Menu bar, command bars in InfoPath form when the user is filling the form. Please help me in this problem. Thanks in Advance.

Hello,

Right Click on the Small arrow at the end of the tool bar and Also you can Check/Uncheck commands.For More options select Customize. In the Commands Tab select Rearrange Commands and then Delete the Controls you dont want to show in the Menu Bar/Command Bar.

Hope this will help you.

Hello,

the above mentioned way describe the steps in the UI.

On the other side you can do the same with scripting. For example you can hide the 'Standard' and 'Formatting' toolbar with the following commands in the OnLoad event of the form.

var objCommandbars = Application.ActiveWindow.Commandbars;
objCommandbars("Standard").Enabled = false;
objCommandbars("Formatting").Enabled = false;

Hope this helps.

please solve my problem

Hello Krishna,

What is the Security level set for your Form?

Hello Krishna,

to use the CommandBars collection, the form template must be fully trusted. You can use any one of the following options to make sure that your form template is fully trusted:

• Use the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Configuration utility to grant Full Trust permissions only to your Visual C# .NET code.


• Digitally sign your form template file (.xsn) by using a code-signing certificate. When you use a code-signing certificate to digitally sign your form template file, users are prompted to trust the form when they open the form. This makes your form fully trusted. Therefore, Full Trust permissions are granted to your Visual C# .NET code.
• Use external Automation in InfoPath 2003 to call the RegisterSolution method.
