adding a delete button inside DCT

Hi All,
Is it possible to add a delete button in the DCT which will delete the particular dcr?
can we customize the DCT to hold a delete button?

Greg - so quick to respond with a negative? Where's that old-time hacker's spirit?

You *might* be able to add a callout button with an onCallout handler that initiated a CallServer() on a script residing on the server that would, assuming it was passed the path to an existing DCR, perform the deletion and perhaps even the submission - and when calling back to the DCT perform a close on it.

Or - perhaps even easier - have the callout run a script with a redirection to the CCI URL for deleting the DCR - something like:...
tsserver>http://tsserver/iw-cc/delete?vpath=/default/main/.../data/dcrnameHowever, according to the manual (UICG) if you don't have the permissions to perform the operation in the regular UI - you won't have permissions to perform the operations through the CCI URL either.

but again the callout button will appear inside the dct as an item..but cannot be a part of the dct toolbar right?(top or bottom toolbars inside the dct comprising of preview, generate or finish,cancel buttons)
please correct me if i'm wrong.

In reply to:

but cannot be a part of the dct toolbar right

Just about anything can be accomplished with javascript

1) load the buttonframe in DOM
2) iterate through the button images
3) change the the onlclick and scr properties for a particliar button

this is obviously not supported

I was talking about a *]clean* way of doing it. Maybe it's because that I deeply dislike call server stuff... and formAPI in general... does not feel clean to me.. always looked as hacks ..

but yeah, /*something* could be done.. but as it was already mentioned, you cannot add a clean 'delete' button..

If I were to do this...I probably would do it via a CGI callout... but again.. does not look clean
