Hiding commands - global masks

Hello guys,

we can hide commands in different widgets with conguration of module.config() - see

The problem is, that we have to write a signature like String. So if we want to hide the same command for different toolbars we have to duplicate the same list multiple times.

I was experimenting with global mask but they also use module.config() which probably does not support links to external files like csui-ext! do.

But voila, there are some other config file like children and creation.toolitems.mask . What do they do? They use csui-ext! config possibility so you can do something like

` "file" : { "extension" : { "yourmodulename" : ["string path to your extension"]}}`

Any ideas? Any documentation? Any anything that would help me? :)

My idea is to create one list of signatures that would be applied to multiple toolbars. At the end to all widgets with global mask config file.

In smart UI see this path - lib\src\csui\utils\toolitem.masks

Thank you for the link. Jan Velas is actually my colleague :) I am aware of hiding commands with masks. But there is more way as I mentioned. - GLOBAL masks

With simple masks, you can hide commands in exact places - action bar, header bar ... one by one.

But these global masks should hide commands everywhere I suppose. But not sure about children and other creation toolitems masks. What are they good for? :) any idea
