prevent a certain item in Add Item menu from displaying

sapna Shah

Hi,

I have a custom folder type (with custom subtype). It appears under 'Add Item' menu. And I have added in parentAppltype (enterprise ws, regular folder) as to where it can appear.. so far so good.

For clarity I will call my custom folder 'Sapna test'

I allow the creation of this new folder ('Sapna test') under a regular folder as well. However if the regular folder is under a certain parent then I dont want the new custom folder type ('Sapna test')  to appear in 'Add Item' menu.

e.g. if regular folder is under enterprise ws, then user can add my custom folder ('Sapna test'). But if regular folder is under some other workspace, then dont show the new custom folder ('Sapna test'), in 'Add item' menu.

In the webdoc object that  I inherited, I see _BrowseCreatObjects() script the debugger goes to gather 'Add item' menu objects. But if I update this script in my inherited object, then debugger doesnt stop there.

Q is how is the best way to update the _BrowseCreatObjects()  to add logic for my custom webdoc object? should I create patch on webdoc module? Is there any callback I can use? I dont see any callback for this action.

We are using CS10 and soon be migrating to CS16.

 

thanks

Hi Sapna,

 

Can’t speak to the OScript side of things, but if you need to get this done quickly and have an ActiveView license there’s an override for the Add Item menu and a sample template called, unsurprisingly, add_item_menu_sample that contains some examples of how to manipulate things.  Logic can be added within the AV or to its override settings that you can peg to location, user, group, etc.  Pretty simple stuff, really.

 

Just thought I’d point that out as an option.

 

Cheers,

AK
