Is there a way to disable the "Send to Folder" action in the Export Wizard dialog using the SDK? It's easy enough to disable the a command from a menu using the command ID and aaApi_EnableMenuCommand. I am looking for perhaps a similar way to disable (or better yet, remove) the Send to Folder option inside the Export Wizard. Otherwise I will likely have to grow my own version of the Export Wizard to suit our requirements - something I'd rather not do if there are easier options.
Thanks.
You can use the advanced menu example in the SDK to create a custom menu and hide normal menu functions. You can use the SDK to also create custom functionality and make it accessible from the custom menu. The example is in C:\Program Files\Bentley\ProjectWise\SDK\samples\mymenu
We have had discussions with B. while using Version 2004 about entirely disabling/grey out the Export command for a Common User while still allowing Admins to have it to perform their tasks. At the time, some custom solution was discussed, and that of course would cost us $$$... so it went nowhere, opened a CR instead...
The ability of a User to extract an entire Project from the PW system to any Windows folder of choice is, IMHO, a security risk that is entirely unnecessary.
I don't see how Send to Folder is more of a security risk than building a search for all files, selecting them all and doing a copy out. One way gives you the folder names too, but it's the files that are important.
As long as the user has read-only to a file they can take a copy of it at any time.
