Disabling Explorer menu items at run-time
My end user wants to have the option to disable the options that
allow modification of end-user reports.
In other words he can create/modify end-user reports.
Others can simply print the reports he has designed.
Disabling menu/pop-up menu/etc seems to be one way to go... but I'm
having trouble implementing. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Another alternative would be to create a specialized "read-only"
explorer but I would prefer to just disable the options.
(BTW: the application already has a login that determines user
privileges).

You can adjust the FolderOptions and ItemOptions of the ReportExplorer to
limit some of the options the user has with respect to creating and
designing reports and folders. Other than this you will need to create a
custom ReportExplorer by replacing the current dialog. There is an example
of this in the Tutorials of the ReportBuilder Developer's Guide.

I just missed the ItemOptions... Duh!
Thanks for the reminder!

It worked perfectly (of course)... should have known there was an easy
way!
