RE: how can we forbidden "Print" and "Export Excel" buttons?

I know it was an example ;)

But it was my mistake, I was trying to remove the buttons from the buttonbar, before it was built, so that's why I got the outofrangeexception.

maybe useful information for other users:
"Save" is index[0]
"Save and Close" is index[1]
"Save and New" is index[2]

Thanks for helping me with this Jeremy!

"4" was just an example. You need to figure out the index of the button you actually want to remove (I don't know by heart the index of the "Save" and the "Save and Close" button").

thanks for the quick reply :)

I tried your code, but it returns an outofrangeexception (I tried values from 0 to 4)
I also tried the removeAt (int index) method which should give the same result, but is easier to use (am I right?), but it also returns an outofrangerexception.

The name of the button is not the indexer for the "ButtonMenu.Items" collection. Therefore, to remove a button from this collection you must get a reference to the button in question and remove it from the collection. Something like this:

[code]Instance.ButtonMenu.Items.Remove(Instance.ButtonMenu.Items[4]);[/code]

Also, keep in mind that there is a property called "IncludeStandardButtons" which you can set to "false" to remove all the buttons at once.

I have almost the same question:

how to remove the "save and close" and "Save and New" buttons on an edit page?

I think it should be [code]Instance.ButtonMenu.Items.Remove("name_of_button")[/code]
but I can't find the button names anywhere..

I'm guessing you are talking about the "Print" and "Export to Excel" buttons on our Grid control??? You can remove these buttons by setting the "AAlowPrint" and "AllowExportToeXcel" properties to false.
