Get rid of the Close box on the application on access point

[alec1982]

Hi guys,

Is there anyway to get rid of the close button on the menu bar on top of the application once opened on the access point?

Hey Badr,

There is no straight forward way.

Thanks

I think you can do it with this Document Extension

Document Extension Solution to hide buttons on the AJAX toolbar...and anything else

Hi Rob,

This is a great idea. I tried to follow the instructions but couldn't get it to work. I installed the extensions but it seems that they got installed to different locations and not the ones listed in the instruction document.

I opened the excel file and changed one of the menu items to "Y" and then opened the qvw and made sure the extension is activated there.. reloaded the qvw and pushed to the access point. I still see the menu item I tried to hide.  Any thoughts??..

Also do you know what is the class name for the "close" item?

Thxs,

Badr

I tried to get it to work on 11.20 SR5 and only got a few buttons to hide. Haven't figured out why.

For the server install (which is the only place this extension will work), you need to place the hideIt folder (that contains the defintion.xml and script.js) into

C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\QlikViewServer\Extensions\Document

folder. The instructions don't make it clear that it needs to go in the Document subfolder. If you have defined an alternate extensions folder in QMC, then it would go in the Document subfolder of that path.

This extension (when it works ) only operates against css classes which the Close button doesn't have a specific class. It does however have an Id of "Close" so you could add this line in the loadPage() function.

$("#Close").hide();

I see you have another thread going on the extension page. Maybe you;ll get some better answers there,
