How to Hide dropdown context menu (ECB?) for items in a list?

Hi everyone,
I don't know the appropriate way to name this thread. I'm sure there is a technical term but I'm not sure what it is. Instead, I will describe.
In any list, when you hover over an item, a dropdown option appears with options like "View Item" "Edit Item" "Compliance Details", etc.
I would like to completely hide this context menu from the user as it only confused novice users trying to use a simple discussion board. Any way to do this easily, and ideally without Designer?
thanks
david

David,
To remove this you need to change the column. By default SharePoint would have this column associated with the view to easily edit the item.
Step to remove:
1) Go to list settings
2) In list settings navigate to the "All Items" view or the current view you have under the view section.
3) uncheck the column [Column Name](linked to item with edit menu)
4) check/select the column [Column Name] (linked to item)

How to enhance the context menu in Web Applications - BW 7.0

We have to enhance the context menu of several Web Applications and,
initially, we based our solution on the paper "How to enhance the
context menu of Web Applications", from June, 2002, but the solution
described on the paper refers to the BW version 3.0 and we need the
solution for the BW version 7.0. The technical content described on the
paper, version 3.0, is very different from the content of the version
7.0, used by us. Is this feature available for the version 7.0?

Hi,
did you find a solution already?
Thanks,

iPods (except for iPod touch) are not linked to any iTunes "account." They are associated with your iTunes library. The account in iTunes is your Apple ID, and that is used to buy and download content from the iTunes Store. It is not required to use an iPod.
The 1st (and 2nd) gen shuffle can only be used with one iTunes library at a time. When you connect it, iTunes should prompt you to start using it with your iTunes library, and warn that the shuffle's existing content will be erased. Have iTunes erase the shuffle, and it will be associated with your iTunes library going forward. You can then add content to your shuffle.
The need for the previous owner's Apple ID and password should only come up if you are trying to transfer existing content from the shuffle to your iTunes library, AND the previous owner had content purchased from the iTunes Store. Just cancel out of that step, if iTunes asks.

How to remove or hide toolbar context menu in visual studio IDE

Hi All,
Currently we are extending Visual studio and it's functionality.
As we know, we can have different categories of tool bars like standard, build, debug etc shown in pic -
or we can access the categories via - View Main Menu -> Toolbars
Basically My requirement is that, I don't want to show these options (Build, Debug, Debug Location, Layout, customize , Text Editor, Standard etc) shown in context menu or shown in submenu.
How can I achieve it ? Please advice.

AFAIK, you can only customize it manually, but can't hide the builtin menus:

or maybe you can try vsct:

How to deactivate the context menu for data cells in web reports

Hello,
we would like to have the data cells (for example: values in euro) without context menu. I mean, right now, when users navigate in web reports and stop with a mouse over the data cell, text like "Context menu for 5.000 Highlighted" appears. Especially users don't want to see the exception cells with this information like
"Context menu for 6.000 critical 4".
Is it possible to deactivate this context info?
Thanks and Regards,
Nuran Adal
Message was edited by: Nuran Adal

Hello Nuran,
I guess you want to disable the Tooltip and not the ContextMenu. Anyway, use the table interface for it.
Have a look at paramter C_CELL_CONTENT
In Method DATA_CELL.
This one contains strings like:
30,0
Rebuild this String to:
30,0
Kind Regards,
Alican

How to make visible context menu for nodes of the given level of treeTable?

Hello
I'm using JDeveloper 11g 10.1.1.4
I have a TreeTable component with 4 different levels (Contry-Branch-Town-Object).
I need to show custom elements of the context menu (right click of the muse) only for rows with "Object".
Now, I'm doing it with the aid of property "visible":
            <af:commandMenuItem text="Open" id="cmi1" immediate="true"
                                visible="#{backingBeanScope.mbMObjectsRegistry.MObjectNode}"
                                actionListener="#{backingBeanScope.mbMObjectsRegistry.btOpenMObject}"/>
    public boolean isMObjectNode() {
        Object oldRowKey = treeTableMObjectsRegistry.getRowKey();
        try {
            AppViewRowImpl row =
                BindingUtils.getSelectedRowTreeTable(treeTableMObjectsRegistry);
            if (row == null || !isMOBjectRow(row)) {
                return false;
            return isMOBjectRow(row);
        } finally {
            treeTableMObjectsRegistry.setRowKey(oldRowKey);
    private boolean isMOBjectRow(AppViewRowImpl row) {
        return (row != null) && (row instanceof MObjectsRegisterMORowImpl);
    }That works, but the problem is that it works a little bit slow, particulary if I have 5 or more menu items.
Each menu item calls the metod isMObjectNode() 3 times per one opening of the menu.
The question is: maybe, there is a method to calculate level of the selected node? Or, there is other variant?
Anatolii

You can use the following sample to develop your usecase.
Here, we would show menu items only for the nodes at level 3.
You can also download the entire sample based on POJO at
http://adfsampleapplications.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/TreeSampleApplication.zip
The code is self explanatory.
Let know, if you have any specific questions.
<af:form id="f1">
<af:treeTable value="#{bindings.continents.treeModel}" var="node"
selectionListener="#{bindings.continents.treeModel.makeCurrent}"
rowSelection="single" id="tt1" columnStretching="last">
<f:facet name="nodeStamp">
<af:column id="c1">
<af:outputText value="#{node}" id="ot2"/>
</af:column>
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="pathStamp">
<af:outputText value="#{node}" id="ot1"/>
</f:facet>
*<f:facet name="contextMenu">*
*<af:popup id="p1" contentDelivery="lazyUncached">*
*<af:setPropertyListener from="#{bindings.continents.treeModel.depth}"*
*to="#{pageFlowScope.CurrentDepth}"*
*type="popupFetch"/>*
*<af:menu text="menu 1" id="m2">*
*<af:commandMenuItem text="View Districts" id="cmi1"*
*visible="#{pageFlowScope.CurrentDepth == 2 ? true : false}"/>*
*<af:commandMenuItem text="View Attractions" id="cmi2"*
*visible="#{pageFlowScope.CurrentDepth == 2 ? true : false}"/>*
*</af:menu>*
*</af:popup>*

</af:treeTable>
</af:form>

How to create a Context Menu submenu?

I am trying to create a submenu which lists scripts in the content window - Does anyone know how to do this?
This works:
if (MenuElement.find ('Thumbnail/tscript') == null) var ah_ScriptsContext = new MenuElement( "command", "Scripts", "at the end of Thumbnail", "tscript");
But the submenu does not work:
var ah_runScriptImRnContext = new MenuElement("menu","AH Image Rename","at the end of Thumbnail/tscript");
I've tried various combinations of 'menu' / 'command' and everything else I can think of, so far no go.

How to Hide "Edit WebPart" menu in SharePoint

Hi,
Actually my requirement is, i want to hide the "Edit WebPart" menu.
How should i do it?
Thanks & Regards
Poomani Sankaran

There is no property or Attribute on the side of the Webpart Itself which can Trigger not displaying the EditMenu at all. The Menu is built by the Webpartmanager which Displays the "Edit"-Menu. It hides the edit-menu only when the Webpart is in
personalization-mode and "Allow Edit" is set false.
the decompiled part of the SPWebpartManager:
if (!part.AllowEdit && this.PersonalizationMode)
menuItem5.Visible = false;
(meniItem5 is the indexed Item of the EditMenu).
So, you have to do client-side by using some Javascript (which of course could be loaded with your Webpart, giving ist curent ID, checking if page is in editmode and moving up the parents and search for the control, ...)
