Enable/Disable Menu Command

bfelknor

I know I can control the availability of my own COM menu commands, but is there a way to disable a standard command with a contextitems call ?

For example, I have integration that only has a context when within a subscription folder branch. I enable my own commands, some of which I would like to be replacements for standard menu commands. I'd like to enable my command and disable the standard command.

In the popup menu commands, for example, we can add a command for "Folder." I add "Add Special Subfolder" and I'd like to disable the "New\Document Folder" command only in this context.

Is it possible ?

I see that we can add wrappers around some of the generic functions, like BrowseFolderCmd, but not NewIManDocumentFolderCmd.

Alternatively, can the "standard" call to New\Document Folder (for example) be made from a COM addin without constructing it from scratch ? That would enable logic like the following:

1) Replace the Menu command for Folder\New\Document Folder with My Command
2) In MyCommand, If MyCondition = True Then Do MYCommand ELSE Do Standard Command....

Thanks.

You should be able to write a wrapper to replace the standard Folder|New|DocumentFolder command by replacing the default IManExt2.NewIManDocumentFolderCmd progid -- in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Interwoven\WorkSite\8.0\MailSite\Commands\Folder\New] or [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Interwoven\WorkSite\8.0\DeskSite\Commands\Popup Menus\Folder\New] -- with your own progid. Then, in your wrapper command, call the NewIManDocumentFolderCmd. Please see documentation in 'What's New in iManExt.dll.pdf' for further clarification on how to implement this command object.
