Removing items via DAML - not working

FraserHand1

Hi,

I'm trying to strip out the ArcGIS Pro UI via DAML. 

This bit works:

<backstage>
<deleteButton refID="esri_core_saveProjectButton" />
<deleteButton refID="esri_core_saveProjectAsButton" />
<deleteButton refID="esri_core_showOptionsSheetButton"/>
<deleteTab refID="esri_core_AddInsTab"/>
<deleteTab refID="esri_core_CondaTab"/>
<deleteTab refID="esri_core_LicensingTab"/>
</backstage>
</ArcGIS>

but if I use something like this

<updateModule refID="esri_mapping" caption="Mapping" description="Mapping">
<dockPanes>
<deleteDockPane refID="esri_mapping_symbologyDockPane"/>
<deleteDockPane refID="esri_mapping_labelClassDockPane"/>
<deleteDockPane refID="esri_mapping_popupsDockPane" />
<deleteDockPane refID="esri_mapping_locateDockPane"/>
<deleteDockPane refID="esri_mapping_geocodeTableDockPane"/>
<deleteDockPane refID="esri_mapping_animationDockPane"/>
<deleteDockPane refID="esri_mapping_animationEditorDockPane"/>
<deleteDockPane refID="esri_mapping_animationPreviewDockPane"/>
<deleteDockPane refID="esri_mapping_animationTimelineDockPane"/>
<deleteDockPane refID="esri_mapping_temporalViewerDockPane"/>
<deleteDockPane refID="esri_mapping_annotationDockPane"/>
<deleteDockPane refID="esri_mapping_annotationClassCreateDockPane"/>
<deleteDockPane refID="esri_mapping_interactiveAnalysisDockPane"/>
</dockPanes>
</updateModule>

It doesn't - these items are still visible / usable in the ArcGIS Pro UI. I can nuke it via var someElements = from seg in database.Root.Descendants(nsp + "module") select seg; and removing the elements but I'm sure this will cause null exceptions down the track. Why isn't the DAML being honoured? I'm missing something.

Thanks,

Fraser

Hi

The DAML is used to customize the appearance of the UI, especially the ribbon.  Even though you can syntactically use the "deleteDockPane" element in the DAML, the dockpanes are available in code and can be accessed using buttons, etc.  You can't completely prevent the ability to display the Symbology dockpane, for example.  You can only try and remove all the buttons in the UI that access it.

Thanks
