status panel in iwp

[justdippin]

hello,

anyone know's how i can disable the status panel to the right of my layout in iwp. I don't want people to switch between the layout with that panel they have to use my buttons.

thx in advance

I assume you mean the status panel to the *left* of the entry screen. If so, use a script to hide the Status bar.

It's actually called the Status Area, and the line to put in your startup script is:

Show/Hide Status Area [hide]

You can also lock the status area in the same script step, to prevent users from being able to open it at all.

If(PatternCount ( Get ( ApplicationVersion ) ; "Web Publishing" )

Show/Hide Status Area [Lock; Hide]

Go to Scripts->Scriptmaker.

In the dialog, enter a new script name (DBStartup)

In the next window, there's a box with all the available commands on the left, and an empty box to the right.

In the left box, locate the If command & double click. The If/End If commands appear in the right box.

Double-click on the If command in the right box, and enter "PatternCount ( Get ( ApplicationVersion ) ; "Web") in the large box and click Okay.

Locate the "Show/Hide Status Area" command in the left. Double-click and put it in the right window. It should appear after the If line, slightly indented.

Click on this line. In the work area below the main script, you will see a dropdown: Toggle/Show/Hide, and a Lock checkbox (I think--I'm not at my machine right now). Select the Hide option and the Lock option.

Click Save and again at the Scriptmaker menu.

Now, go to the File menu and look for a screen that lets you set the startup script and layout. Set the startup script to use DBStartup, and try it out.
