Hi,

I'm trying to add some features to our Active Table Reports via JavaScript but it seems that I have almost no control over the context menus and the column menus that are inserted to the Active Table. Even thought I can turn on/off some of their options I cannot remove entirely a column menu. Perhaps it's better to use an example:
DEFINE FILE CAR
MYCOLUMN/A150 = '<button class="wf-comment" value="?" style="width:10px;height:10px;margin:0 auto;padding:0;"></button>';
END

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT 
CAR 
MODEL 
SEATS
BY MYCOLUMN AS ''
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE SET BYDISPLAY ON
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT AHTML
END


You can see there is no point in having the menu for my first column, the one with the html "button" on it.

So, is there a way to remove only that column menu, or even better, in case someone knows, is there a way to hijack the cell's context menu to add or alter options of.. let's say the "comments" option?

I'm guessing that either one is challenging so let's hear it from the experts!

Thanks in advance.
Pedro

I'd probably use jQuery to manipulate this, but here's a quick example using JavaScript:

DEFINE FILE CAR
MYCOLUMN/A150 = '<button class="wf-comment" value="?" style="width:10px;height:10px;margin:0 auto;padding:0;"></button>';
END

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
CAR
MODEL
SEATS
BY MYCOLUMN AS ''
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE SET BYDISPLAY ON
ON TABLE HOLD AS H001 FORMAT AHTML
END
-RUN

-HTMLFORM BEGIN
!IBI.FIL.H001;
<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById('popid0_0').style.display = 'none';
</script>
-HTMLFORM END
You carefully have to examine the generated atrocious HTML and JavaScript to determine which element to hide...

Well! That doesn't work so well when you click on one of the buttons... But it's a beginning.

Thanks for the quick reply Francis,

I have already tried that and it almost does the job, but when there are multiple pages and you navigate to a different one the column menu appears again, so I'd have to check it every time the user navigates through the report which is not easy since you don't know exactly when does the new page loads.

So I was trying to find a different approach, but I get from your reply that there is no clean/direct way of doing this..

It appears this simple and reasonable request is a new feature:

Hide option from AHTML

Well, thanks!

I've seen the second link, but not the first one you've posted.
At least I'll have something to wait for.

Thank you once again.
