Remove buttons from form but keep in ribbon


Badge +7

To make good use of screen real estate, I want to NOT have "Save" and "Cancel" buttons in my form - same functionality is in the ribbon.

If I delete the buttons from my form however, the buttons are also removed from the ribbon.

If I make the buttons not-visible, it's the same problem: The button disappears from the ribbon.

How to accomplish this?

Regards Leif

A panel dropped over the buttons ?  Ugly but could work...

Hi,

You can hide them under other controls already on the form.

Hi ,

Have you tried hiding the button using a rule? I have just tried the following and it worked the way you wanted.

1. Put the button in the panel

2. configure a rule that will hide the button always
