How can you hide the top menu item labeled "Edit" inside an Acccess application?
Thanks
Don
You should be able to define a custom toolbar to be used by your application (pre-2007), one that omits the Edit option. In 2007, you would do this by making a custom ribbon for your application, again - omitting the Edit option

Like most of dynamics crm programmers know, we can add "web resources that are not associated with any entity" to the sitemap. If such a customization is made, when user clicks that link, web resource will be opened and the buttons in the application ribbon will be added to the ribbon section of the dynamics crm.
What I am wondering is if there is any way I can hide this global buttons that are in the application ribbon based on the web resource on the page.
Let's say I added more than one web resources to my sitemap, namely a.htm and b.htm. Let's say I have a custom button named x in the application ribbon. Right now x is displayed both for a.htm and b.htm, but in reality I would like to hide the button when user clicks on b.htm from the sitemap.
Is there a way to accomplish that?
You could use the following (unsupported) code to hide the Ribbon button (the 'Run Workflow' button in this example):
var btnRunWorklfow=top.document.getElementById("account|NoRelationship|Form|Mscrm.Form.account.RunWorkflow-Large");
btnRunWorklfow.style.display='none';
You can also use ribbon editor available in codeplex to disable your button based on your javascript.

I figured there is no supported way of doing this.
in my MS Access 2013 application, I am using a Navigation Form as a top layer to connect all my subforms.
How do I stop Access from requerying the subforms whenever I change tabs (forms) ?!
(Basically I just want to use the navigation tabs as a way switch the other forms that remain open but hidden)
This seems like a basic feature that i cant't seem to figure out.
Thank you in advance!
Unlike Tabs, NavigationForms has a menu and a subform control where your "target forms" will be "loaded". So every time when you click a navigation button, your target form will be "loaded/opened" into the subform control.
It means you are not re-querying your forms but unloading and loading.
for your purpose you might well use the normal Tabs.
hi is it possible to create/ extend from tab navigator or another component to create a tab navigator where tabs are within tabs. I.e grouped. I have been trying to find some info on this but there is very little available. I have attempted to do something as follows but I cannot successfully get it to work. Any expansion or information on this would be great
Thanks
You can try Flex MenuBar with custom skin for it. Or, maybe it will be easier, you can try to write own component based on Spark ButtonBar (or TabBar) with List as suggested in Flex: Skinning menuBar - is it possible?
I am porting a Desktop WPF application to WinRT and I'm facing a little issue.
I had a ItemsControl and I had a context menu on every item to delete / edit the item.
I have been told that PopupMenu are not good in WinRT and I should use a AppBar.
I think I'm doing something wrong or I misunderstood that.
I thought that I could put that options on a AppBar and when I select an element, popup the bar and click where I need.
The problem is that the AppBar will show up when I right click on any part of my app, so that buttons will show up with an item selected.
So can I change the layout of the AppBar on different contexts (because it seems that Microsoft wants us to use AppBar as context menu without context capabilities) or only show it when I want via code?
Would be good to have a TopAppBar with some App-wide options and a BottomAppBar just for ListView's item context menu.
Or maybe I'm doing all this stuff wrong and I have to use another approach to put extra options on the Listview's items.
You are thinking about this correctly. AppBar is the place where you should put all your non-essential and selection based commands.
The guidelines here and here suggest that they should be arranged as follows:
Navigation commands should be in TopAppBar
Commands related to selection should on the left side of BottomAppBar
The rest of page specific commands should be on the right side of BottomAppBar
Contextual commands should only be shown when a relevant item to that command is selected. For that purpose you should set Visibility of these commands accordingly. Also AppBar should open automatically when an item with contextual commands in it is selected. You can do that programmatically by setting its IsOpen property. You should also set it to sticky mode by via IsSticky property.
If you're using MVVM you can bind your viewmodel properties to all Button and AppBar properties mentioned above.
There's a CustomAppBar control available in WinRT XAML Toolkit. I haven't used it myself yet but it has a couple of extra features that might prove useful in your case.
Has anyone found a way to change the icon displayed in the Office Button in A2007?
Having converted an MS Access 2003 app to 2007, it's very annoying that my app is now displayed as an MS Office app instead!
You can certainly hide all of the ribbon and the office button with one line of VBA code in your startup. You can use:
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Ribbon", acToolbarNo
The above will hide the office button the QAT and the ribbon.
edit:
You were asking how to hide everything. It is just a simple great one of code that will accomplish this for you.
If you are looking to build a custom UI, then you are free to do so. About the only limitation of a custom ribbon is you HAVE to have file button (but, I think every program I installed for 15+ years had a file option anyway).
So, you are most free to customize what that file button shows. You question simply asked how to hide everything and the above does that with ease.
So, if you do want a ribbon, then your custom ribbon can specify startfromScratch = true, then the only UI options you add to your ribbon is what the user will see.
However, a custom ribbon will always have the file button (or what we often call pizza button and that simply part of the ribbon).
You can also consider using menu bars and not showing the pizza button, but 2007 does not have a built in menu bar builder like previous versions did. This abilty to show only a custom menu bar is outlined here:
