HiddenCommands Method

[simonsson]

I found the HiddenCommands Method in the IExtension Interface in the new API (2011).

I just wonder what this is for and how to use it.

- What is this for?
- When is this method called?
- Can I hide standard commands in the Vault Explorer?

Thanks!

Yes, the HiddenCommands function is used to hide standard commands in
VaultExplorer. This is useful if you want to replace an existing command
with your custom command.

You can use IApplication.CommandIds to see the list of command strings.

HiddenCommands is invoked after OnStartup and before OnLogOn, I think. You
can set breakpoints to confirm.
It shouldn't matter when the function is called. All the function needs to
do is pass back a list of commands that should be hidden.

Getting back to this thread again...

I just tried this and it works fine, but what is the best (correct) way to get back the hidden command again? Reset toolbars didn't bring it back.

If you remove the extension that is hiding the command, then the command should be visible again.
