Removing Play, Forward and Backward buttons from TimeSlider Dijit

Is this possible? I have set the corresponding properties to false but the buttons are still visible. Seems if the ability to play the time sequence is removed, the button shouldn't be visible. Would also like to remove the forward and backward buttons.

Use CSS to set their display property to none?

will give it a try. Was hoping the timeslider had a property to do it easily. More of a suggestion to the dev team I guess.

Sorry, should have figured this out. TimeSlider has several dojo child dijits that have inherited capabilities. These buttons can be removed by

timeSlider.playPauseBtn.destroy();
timeSlider.previousBtn.destroy();
timeSlider.nextBtn.destroy();

where timeSlider is an instance of a Time Slider dijit.
