  Returning (new) user of Component One (winform) controls… so, this is a newb question…

  What is the proper way (if not Enable=false or Visible=false) to disable a Rich Text Box menu strip item?

  After licensing today, and jumping into the RichTextEditor C# solution (to check out the control for incorporation into my project) I want to eliminate the Home menu (do not need file open/save/print functionality) when I do so, it fails to build, and I get a licensing error with Token Key being set to Null in the license file…

  So, “huh?”

  Assuming I can do what I want with the menus… can’t imagine the licensing would be tied to a mandatory use of the Home menu…

  I appreciate the help.

  Hi Chuck,

  As you wish to eliminate the open/save/print functionality, you should remove the code which adds items to the RibbonApplicationMenu as these options are present under the application menu itself.
  
  In the attached modified sample, I have commented the related code in C1TextEditorRibbon.cs. Now, the menu looks as in the attached application.
  
  Hope it helps.

  Best Regards,
  
  Esha

  Thank you, that is very helpful.

  Just as a discussion point… if I wanted instead to enable and disable the visible property of this item (let’s say as a user function of who I want to have that feature…) why would turning visibility to false invoke a licensing issue? That would appear to limit what I do with the control as far as dynamically configuring it.

  Can you speak specifically why it modifies the Token Key… that part makes no sense to me.

  Thank you,
  
  Chuck

  Hello,

  I would request you to share in detail about where and how you set the Visibility of the tab. Further, share a screenshot of the error observed.
  
  You can also share the modified sample. These details will help me replicate the problem and assist you further at the earliest.

  Regards.
