Hide menus from some users in EA
« on: October 23, 2006, 06:50:42 am »
Hello. Is there a way to hide some options from the main menu so some certains user cannot see them?
How about hiding the buttons from the toolbars?
Thanks in advance! ;)

Nothing I know of. Probably worth while a feature request.

I believe you could write an add-in to do this. Apart from the actual work of connecting the add-in to EA - it would have to work 'internally' - the tweaks to hide menu items should be quite straightforward. Menu items can be grabbed from add-in code.

Of course I am making a (totally unsupported) assumption that EA's own menu items can be hidden, but my guess is that's a safe bet.

No, unfortunately an Add-In can only control the state of items under the Add-Ins menu.  Standard menus in EA cannot be modified in this way.

I'll formulate a request on this sometime.

However, I suspect that this is a difficult design decision to undo on the fly.

Sigh...
